TIL that Spain is not Europe

The Spanish won't mind you saying that, they are busy napping.

I can't wrap my head around siestas. Doesn't anyone have 9-5 jobs there? Does the program change to accommodate heat? Is everything just running AC all the time?

And in Finland:

thats spot on honestly, i feel like 25 degrees is the sweet spot, anything above that is annoyingly hot

I am so cold when its 18°C. 22 is already super cool.

Maybe, but consider this, you can dress up for colder weather, the same can not be said for hot weather, there's only so much you can leave off (legally)

Last summer, 40°C in Bordeaux ... Hot but livable, the week after 31°C @ Corse and fucking dying.

Humidity is humiliating and humbling.

In Houston it will be 35-37, then rain mid afternoon. After the rain you can feel the water evaporating the back up off the grass when the sun comes out. Absolutely as humid as possible. In any case, not too hot until it's 35 at 50-60% humidity.

Depends on where you live :p It just got to 32°C here and I'm dying. I love my 15°C.

German here. We have rather shitty weather in autumn, winter and parts of spring. I for one welcome the warmth and most heat waves. 25°C and up is when I start to function and... live. I prefer heat so much over cold.

I loathe the first day of autumn and the realization that it's gonna take more than a half year until we get some non-depressing weather again. I really hope that point is going to be late this year.

You live in a climate that's not supposed to be that warm (not as long and as often as it is nowadays anyway), and is supposed to be rainy, windy and cold. Rather than hoping the climate will change I would recommend you look into moving somewhere south where the climate is naturally warmer.

The current heat waves are a sign of climate change, and it's nothing to be celebrated even if you love the heat, somehow.

Me who loves rainy days

𓏗-𓏗

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah those rainy 21°C summers in Sweden before the long winter :-(

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Rainy days are awesome.... If I don't have to go out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

99% humidity, let's go

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

imo it's not that bad, just open the windows at night and close them during the day, and then go swimming to the lake periodically when it's too hot, ez 🤷‍♀️

I mean it is warmer in some other countries, but with our humidity it just feels worse, ya know?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Where I live it gets to like 35° and 100% humidity and it feels like you're melting

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Greece, Italy, Spain, and Portugal apparently are not Europe

Mediterraneans casually sipping coffee while the sun is melting their skin away

It's absolutely horrible! Everything above circa 18-20°C outsides means physical pain for me. Literally (as in literally and not in figuratively).

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not litelarlly in my case, but still, I wish I lived in Norway, Sweeden, Finland, Denmark 😞.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We just had a week with 30°-ish in Oslo 🫠 Northern Norway has struggled to see 20s though.

Alaska, here I come 🤗.

30C in Poland and dying today.... Also living in an attic room doesn't help as it becomes extremly hot in these weather. I need to invest in a portable air conditioner.
