AC is becoming more common in hot areas (from experience in the South of France you can kow see some homes with AC whereas it was unheard of before) but the UK is hardly a hot area. These are 2 days of 'proper' heat and there are many ways to cope.

In british english parlance, sometimes "proper" is used like that as emphasis, not a discussion of whether it is correct or right or the expected situation.
