I'm currently living in the PNW and people are struggling with 18F. Why? Because this entire area is built around a temperate climate. A lot of house have single pane windows and no insulation. Most people don't have AC (so the extreme heat kills). We will adapt, but it's going to take people waking up to the new reality.
