TIL that Spain is not Europe

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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?

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's not litelarlly in my case, but still, I wish I lived in Norway, Sweeden, Finland, Denmark ๐Ÿ˜ž.

We just had a week with 30ยฐ-ish in Oslo ๐Ÿซ  Northern Norway has struggled to see 20s though.

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

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

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 18ยฐC. 22 is already super cool.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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)

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

Humidity is humiliating and humbling.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

99% humidity, let's go

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

And in Finland:

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] NoName977 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[โ€“] joneskind 3 points 2 years ago

No kidding past the point of 25ยฐC I pull off my clothes and only put on a shirt for professional Google Meets.

My coworkers know they should not ask me to get off of my chair. No one has ever challenged me yet, but Iโ€™m ready.

German here. We have rather shitty weather in autumn, winter and parts of spring. I for one welcome the warmth and most heat waves. 25ยฐC 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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

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

๐“—-๐“—

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] vegasq 1 points 2 years ago

102 degrees of Freedom here. KMP.

[โ€“] Ataraxia 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'll take 100+degrees of dry heat and AC over ever going back to that swamp ass euro summers with fans.

[โ€“] Iron_Lynx 1 points 2 years ago

Thank goodness air conditioners are becoming more popular out here, so we can at least create some spaces where it's comfortable.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 2 years 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 ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ
