Mieke Dutoit moved from South Africa to Jersey in January.
She works at The Waffle House, in St Helier – where she said it was “difficult to keep up with the heat”.
She said: “I think the biggest concern in the ice cream shop is because the ice cream machine can’t keep up with the weather.”
Dutoit said she was “shocked” at the weather when she arrived in Jersey.
“I was shocked when I got here and experienced this weather. It is so much more hotter than South Africa, so you never get used to the heat actually.”
“It hasn’t usually been like this. It’s going to be record-breaking weather again, we had record-breaking weather last month.”
