    Huh. I live in Finland and cold tap water can be a bit warmer during summer if the tap hasn’t been run in a while but it still doesn’t get very warm. And you’ll get cold water by running the tap. I wonder if in addition to the air temperature it varies how deep the pipes are put in.

      The southwest of the US gets really hot for long periods of time. For example, Pheonix Arizona has four months of the year with a daily mean temperature above 30 C and highs around 45 C. Pheonix is also part of the Sonoran Desert, meaning water itself is hard to get. Running a water tap for minutes to fill a cup of mildly cool water is deeply frowned upon.

      It’s unpleasant to say the least. Although the heat is not as bad as the rumors I hear about Finnish mosquitoes.
