Valid point, but I'm assuming that they never imagined 40-degree (outside) temperatures lasting multiple hours as a threat. Slough just got hit around 40.2 degrees, first time since records began.

It's a bit of a stretch to call europe-west2 "London" when it's Slough

It's also a bit of a stretch to call it "Google" when it's an Equinix datacenter. I know this is standard across all major cloud providers, and call me old-fashioned, but personally I'd prefer a bit more accuracy in naming of each region. Instead there is obfuscation. It's weirdly difficult to find a list of which datacenters correspond to which cloud region.
