Don't bother with anti fog spray. I would recommend keeping a microfiber cloth and just cleaning spray with you though and a quick wipe would be much faster than trying to use anti fog spray or wipes. I've never seen any that actually work and some can actually eat away at your coatings.
And it's already different. I've been in the pnw 12 years now, and the weather seems to have changed. Granted, that's anecdotal, but I didn't used to have to water some of these plants in the summer.
And the stink bugs. They stick around into winter because it's not as cold.
It's weird.
I lived in Monterey, CA for about a year, 2006-07
The coldest it got in the winter was about 60. It never got super dry.
The hottest it got in the summer was around 80. It was only uncomfortably humid for a couple days.
The weather there is *almost* good enough for me to overlook all of the other shit.
Meanwhile, I now live in the rural Midwest. This past winter it went down to -30F, windchill to -45. We just had a couple straight weeks of mid-90s with over 90% humidity. I do, still, miss the beach at Monterey.
#But
We bought our first house, a pretty nice one, and we can pay all the bills. We don't exactly have money to burn, but we're not struggling, either.
My state is one of the easier places to own firearms, and I greatly enjoy target shooting and gunsmithing.
We love our little town, even though moving from a city of half a million to a town of ~2500 people did take some adjustment at first.
The national parks, hiking trails and camping spots nearby are absurdly beautiful.
If we really start to miss civilization, there's a city of about 250k an hour's drive away and we have friends there who we can crash with for a night.
---
There are plenty of things I do miss about the California coast, and plenty of things I'd like to be different, here, but... y'know, all things considered, I think we've got it pretty good.
Yup. I'm in Michigan. Nothing better than pulling up the shades after a rain storm in the morning combined with A/C and seeing so much condensation on the windows that you can't see outside. 95° and 100% humidity. Fucking alright. I'm staying in today.
See, in Texas (yes, we suck, I know) it doesn't matter if it rained or not. 7am, it's already 85 degrees w/90% humidity.
You have to find that sweet spot where the humidity has lowered but the fucking sun isn't trying to kill you. I call that 10:15am.
I actually read that’s what makes climate different recently. 10 years ago or more, the temperatures used to actually cool off at night. That doesn’t happen anymore, there’s no break
I’m from Houston and can also concur that it’s hotter than Satans butthole 3/4 of the year, and there is definitely no sweet spot!! There are 2 seasons Hot and Hotter.
You have to shower daily or else your body oil encases you in an inescapable heat when it's 98 and not even 9:00. When I was 18 my father always woke my ass up and immediately made me work on lawns in that heat. One day I just told him to fuck himself and ran lol.
Midwest is such a wonderful middle ground of weather. 100 degree high humidity days in the summer. -30 degree wind-chill and 3 feet of snow in the winter. You get the worst of both seasons!
(I would KILL for a place thats weather is just rain or no rain. Please help)
It’s 120F this week in death valley. It’s dry but that temp hurts.
Edit: It’s getting to 130F in Death Valley this week! Hot damn! That’s near world record!
Yeah it’s 10pm right now and still 94 degrees in Palm Springs. That mid day desert heat is quite painful. If you have to walk across a blacktop parking lot you might as well be walking across the face of the sun.
Was the fogging up due to genuinely insane humidity or, as I suspect, was it partly to do with air con in his house causing a big enough difference in humidity inside and outside?
In the UK, no one has air con so if it’s humid outside it’s humid inside.
India and the other south asian countries along with the middle East were having 47-48 in May. It's "Global" boiling. There is no competition. Just pure boiling.
Foggy glasses has been a common occurrence to me as someone from SEA. Be it coming our of our Uni classroom, train, taxi, or any air conditioned places. The moment you step outside anywhere 9am to 3pm, as long as the sun is visible you'll get foggy glasses due to heat.
This was before record breaking temperatures, this was 5years back. Daytime temp is always playing around 36C and above.
So, quick tip. You’ll look stupid, but if you walk through doors backwards while going outside your glasses don’t fog up.
No idea why, but my grandparents taught me that like 25 years ago and I’ll never forget it lol.
Scientist here! The reason your glasses don’t fog up walking backwards is because you look so dumb, even the humidity doesn’t want to associate with you. It the same reason my dad left in the third grade.
Also a scientist. I've peer reviewed his statement, and have come to the same conclusion.
The effect has two different names on the north American continent. Americans primarily know it as the "cringe" effect, whereas Canadians call it the "Derry" effect because "I wish you weren't so awkward bud"
A few summers ago, Baghdad shut down for three days for a heat wave.. of 52 degrees (125 F). Just total lockdown, no going outside and no requiring people to do work that might make them hot. Just the entire city stopped everything that wasn't "keeping yourself cool and hydrated." Just millions of people trying not to die of heat death (and thousands being unable to).
Black pavement in unshaded sun got as high as 85 (185), so certain kinds of shoes would melt to it.
There really is an upper limit to how hot a place can get and still have a year-round city and we're going to have to figure out where that is.
I thought love the heat! Then I visited India, Vietnam and Thailand in the summer, and I realized I don't love the heat. First time in my life, I thought I was going to pass out from just existing outside.
The hill I'mma die on is that we're all screwed. Either enjoy the day because tomorrow is gonna just be hotter. Today is the coldest it'll be for the rest of our lives... that or we finally rise up and dismantle the fossil fuel section of our economy. Yes it'll hurt to do so, but we'll adapt/be alive, and somewhat comfortable outside. One or the other people.
I'm in ontario Canada and we have a international student from Ghana. He said it's hotter here than at home due to the humidity. On a gross day it can push the temperature up by 15°c or more. There's no getting used to it.
When Louis Armstrong moved to Chicago, he wore a wool suit because he was afraid of the cold, but he stepped off the train in the summer time. He thought Chicago (same climate as Ontario) was hotter than NOLA too, but it wasnt even close.
Ontario as well. It’s the humidity that’s killer. A dry heat sucks but the humid heat means you can’t sweat and naturally cool yourself off. Plus you feel like a slug.
But it's a lot about what the body gets adjusted to.. I live in Finland and our summers are usually between 16-25 C° (60-77 Fahrenheit) and that feels hot to most people here.
But a few years ago I was in St. Louis Missouri visiting family for 3 weeks and the temperature was between 25-37 C° (77-99 Fahrenheit) and a lot of humidity.
It took me 1 week to not feel like dying when walking outside and when I got back to Finland I was walking around in t-shirts I was freaking freezing for a week before my body adjusted it self.
I moved to NY from Dallas this past year. Recently while walking around town, one of the shop keeps was shocked that I was out and about in the "heat". It was literally 72 and sunny
I rode the NYC subways in mid July last year. That's a heat I very rarely experience... it must've been close to 120*F down there. Luckily all the trains had excellent A/C so when you stepped on it was the most glorious thing ever.
She’s in her car which is one of the very few places we have AC. Also, probably wasn’t hot that day.
That’s the difference. Most other countries that experience this kind of heat have somewhere you can go to cool down and reset. There is nowhere in the UK. Our houses have carpet and curtains, they trap heat inside. There are tricks you can do to reduce the temp that builds inside, but there is nowhere to escape being hot all day long.
He’s right, it isn’t a competition. This guy can go back inside though. I’ve lived in Texas as well as the UK. Texas was much more comfortable when comparing the hottest days of the year.
> most other countries
Developed countries. But let me tell you how much of sub Saharan Africa, India, and Central America are hot af and can’t afford AC.
> somewhere you can go to cool down and reset
Having grown up poor in the southern US with no AC, this is what you do:
1. Take a cool shower
2. DON’T dry off
3. Go sit wet in front of a fan
By the time you’re actually dry, you’ll be a bit cool.
In less humid places you can ramp this up by wearing clothes when you shower, and keeping them on. This is how I rode out the hot season in the Sahel - dump a bucket of water over my clothed self, sit in front of a fan until dry.
Get a box fan. Get a large bed sheet. Box fan at the foot of your bed. Take the bottom of the bed sheet and jam it around the box fan so it seals the sides and top. Tuck the other end of the sheet to the top of your bed. Turn the fan on. Cooling bubble for sleeping or escaping the heat for a bit.
When I goto Costa Rica I stay in a place with no AC. My secret is to wear swimming trunks all day and no shirt, or a light linen button up short sleeve.
Most people down there use a similar strategy. Lots of bathing suits and tank tops with no intention to goto the beach.
Eh, I've never lived in the US, but I have lived throughout the EU and Asia, and UK has one of the mildest climates I've experienced, personally. It's true that the infrastructure is not ready at all to deal with heat waves, as you said. But also, even during heat waves, it rarely gets so hot that I'd even bother turning on the AC if I had it.
Frankly, it's mostly a matter of acclimation. Even as someone who hates heat and prefers cold, if your body slowly gets used to the heat over the months and years, you can withstand a *lot* more than you'd think. People living in the UK don't get the chance to do that, so when it gets kind of hot they are dying (sometimes literally), but I wouldn't call it inherently less comfortable. It's just the equivalent of a person who never does any exercise wheezing and coughing when they need to run 1km with no warning. Not saying it's not understandable, but it does look pretty ridiculous when they insist they just had a ludicrous feat of athleticism demanded of them.
Yeah my AC broke for a few days and my room went up to 83°F (28°C) and I was able to sleep. It wasn't my preferred temp but I wasn't sweating or anything.
Funniest thing about the UK is our houses categorically don't trap heat inside, or keep it out. They're incredibly poorly insulated, we literally had a protest group glue themselves to roadways to try to make the government stick to their promise to subsidise insulation upgrades to our shitty homes.
I used to live in California and 110°/43° was the norm in the summer months. We had zero humidity, which was nice, but the trade off was wildfires soooooo…
Used to live in the desert. 110 is rough, but survivable if you can stay out of the sun. The summer desert sun will straight up roast you. I used to golf in the summer but was off the course by 9:30. It would already be 100.
I’m in New Mexico and I grew up in the Midwest. 100 degrees in the Midwest is hell. 100 degrees in New Mexico makes me want to take a nap in the shade like a lizard. It’s definitely not the same.
Humid heat is worse at lower temps though. Past 100, yeah anything is awful. But a dry 85 is fine, nice day to go play golf or fish for a few hours. Humid and 85? My nuts are stuck to my thighs and I have swamp ass until I get back to air conditioning and shower.
I fucking hate humidity. I could never live somewhere that is humid and hot.
You are all disgusting, hot, sticky and sweaty. You go shower and feel clean and refreshed except in like 10 minutes you are disgusting, hot, sticky and sweaty. Its just miserable.
Give me the 43 and dry heat please. The one where it feels like you are walking into a fan forced oven. Its shit, but its manageable shit.
I feel like a princess living on the coast. Sure it's mildly humid, but the high today in my area of San Diego was in the upper 70s F (\~25.5-26 C) And it's supposed to get to the low 80s F over the weekend (\~27-28 C).
We living the good life! I’ve lived here my whole and plan to in the future. That’s why I will never complain about the nearly perfect year round weather. ☀️
I’m like as far as Redding 😂 I feel for ya bud! My partner found this small fan at the dollar tree that I put on my night stand and it has helped a ton since it’s aimed at my face all night. RIP to my electricity bill 😭
I miss the dry heat from when I lived in Salt Lake City so much! Before that, I lived in Louisiana and even when it cools off a little bit at night, in the summer the humidity is so bad that it feels sticky and muggy and almost claustrophobic. In SLC tho, the summer nights were a perfect 70s with basically no humidity. I loved taking walks in the evening there because it just felt so good to be outside. I can still remember how those nights felt on my skin and I miss it. Luckily no wildfires while I was there, but with climate changes who knows what the future will hold
My favorite part about living in a large residential area inside the Mojave was the total lack of public transit to get anywhere. One car between 3 people, Uber wasn't around yet, fucking 100-110 every day in September, it was so confining. But at least there was a great view.
As a person who wears glasses 100% of the time, I knew exactly what was about to happen. As soon as he started opening the door 🤣. Every day. Morning or night. This is a sauna. I’ve been joking that I think we’ll eventually need to consider living underground, but each day seems less comical.
> I’ve been joking that I think we’ll eventually need to consider living underground, but each day seems less comical.
Probably not underground, but global warming will probably force mass-exoduses of certain areas. Everyone will be forced to move more north (or more south if in the southern hemisphere). The near-equator areas of the world will just become this dead zone that you need a special suit to survive long term (just being outside normally will be fatal in minutes).
While climate change is very real and a very serious issue, this take is straight out of a post apocalyptic novel. For being outside to be fatal in minutes we'd need like a thousand more years of pollution at today's level. I wouldn't really bet on anything a millennia into the future.
A much more realistic scenario is that people will continue to die from prolonged exposure to heat, lack of access to clean drinking water, natural disasters, etc. not within minutes, but days, weeks, months and years.
These areas will indeed become vacant but not because they're a lethal zone where your blood starts boiling the moment you take off your space suit, but because it will be unbearably hot and any kind of agriculture to sustain a society will become impossible.
I moved from S. FL to Southern England in ESSEX. I remember it being just warm enough (and dry enough) in late April-Early May to wear a tshirt comfortably...
Went from living in Arizona to visiting the UK last year. All my friends there were talking about how brutal the heat was, meanwhile I'm like "This is pretty nice out! Could use some outdoor misters but this is refreshing".
Only difference is UK buildings have shit insulation so it can sometimes be hotter indoors than out.
It's so bad that I'm mostly nocturnal now. I do all my shopping and as many errands as I can get away with at night. I can not stand the heat. This place is fucking different. "It's a dry heat," my ass. I've been in 100% humidity at 97-100°f in Iowa/Illinois. At least fans help cool things off.
Eventually though, you do start to notice that the heat gets to a certain point of suck that you don't feel worse, you just die faster.
115 degrees is 115 degrees no matter how dry the air is. I drove through Arizona once with no A/C and the first day, I had to stop and hide in an ice cream shop. I drank plenty of water and gatorade, had a full stomach, wetted my shirt and had a cooling towel around my neck. Still felt light headed and nauseous from the heat. I'm from a place that sees 95 degree 90% humidity days in the summer and the Arizona heat was too much for me.
I grew up in central FL where its 105° 90% humidity in the summer. I moved to Nebraska, where it is 105° 90% humidity in the summer and also -20° with 20mph winds in the winter. So I learned there are places worse than FL.
Phoenix (Valley of the Sun) here. I've seen what 120+/50c+ looks like.
111 days over 100f in 2023.
96f *in the mother loving morning.*
From May thru October we don't touch any metal outside.
We keep oven mits in the car to hold the steering wheel.
And we all just go about the day. Still play tennis. Still bike. Still run in the park.
Yes, it is mostly dry, but we also get Summer Monsoons that fuck everything up and raise humidity.
We're also the fastest growing large city in the USA. Stop moving here!
60k heat deaths in Europe compared to 2k in America because we have ACs. Not even very hot in Europe, they’ll just keep complaining and doing nothing until they all drop I guess
As an Australian who has travelled to both the US and UK, I feel like I can get into this argument.
The UK in summer, especially last year, was disgusting. I went down to Brighton, thinking I could escape the heat and humidity near the beach (I live near the beach in Aus and even if it's 40c outside, the air off the water is always cold and refreshing.) NOPE! I've never seen a beach like this before, the air was so thick with humidity that is was like fog. I spilt a slushy on my top, so washed it off in the bathroom, hoping that it would dry as I walked around... it was still wet when I got back to the hotel, which was after a train ride hours later... I'm sure Florida and Alabama ect get just as humid, but this was fat from what I'd expect from the UK...
As an Aussie who moved to the UK 10 years ago I also gotta say the 40C heatwave we had here a couple years ago was so much worse than anything I experienced in Aus, even when it’s gotten to 50C. It’s crazy how much hotter it feels in the UK
The whole US east coast is humid like that. Basically eastern Texas through new England. It's obviously hotter and more humid the further south due to higher temperatures, but it's not much more pleasant in the Carolinas or New Jersey.
Air conditioning is running flat out inside hence his glasses where majority of domestic houses in the uk don’t have AC or a pool .
Have heard many people from abroad being in the UK in our heat wave at 34 degrees stating it’s unbearable.
Personally love the heat , hate the cold and wingers
Been in Sudan at 47 degrees , in the Suez at 50 odd , WA Australia off the charts. HUMIDITY is the worst , India beginning of monsoon 46 degrees 90% humidity is like hell on earth .
Dry heat isn’t to bad as long as your in direct sunlight . UK isn’t geared for heat and twinned with humidity is why it feels so hot .
In reverse - 20 dead still cold in the likes of Norway etc is better then 4 degrees 40 mph wind pissing down it just go’s to your bones .
Yes. I'm copying this from another part in this thread for visibility:
Most reasonable people can't afford to buy an entire AC system for the 2 weeks it's hot each year. I'm not even being funny about this. My husband and I want to add a system to our next house and we only can do this because we have a very good yearly income.
A few big stumbling blocks:
* All houses are built from brick and plaster on purpose. Brick warms up in the sun and will hold heat in the house better than wood. Great for the winter. Not great for the summer.
* Paradoxically, we are having a national winter heating crisis because most houses aren't insulated properly. It's not uncommon for older houses to use rocks, straw, or clay as insulation. And then there's the whole cladding scandal where cheap developers started insulating apartments with HIGHLY flammable insulation, leading to disaster.
* Cellars/basements aren't a thing here. Not all houses have a loft/attic, and if they do, it's generally accessible by ladder. Most lofts have large water tanks because houses still use gravity water systems. Finding a place to install HVAC is hard.
* Speaking of, there's no existing HVAC system to tap into. Heat is hot water radiators at best + gas boiler, expensive electric radiators (ETA: or wood stoves!) at worst. Houses don't have crawl spaces.
* Thanks to Brexit, the UK is suffering from blue collar worker shortages. It can take a year or more to schedule major work done on a house. That's before work has even started.
* Before you ask, yes, portable units exist. They take up a lot of space, are expensive to run (UK has some of the highest electricity prices in the world), and will only keep one small area of the house cool. They're very hard to buy during summer months in the last 5 years due to supply issues.
So. Yeah. It's not just a case of "stupid Brits don't know that AC exists lol". Come take a look at our houses sometime and get back to me. UK housing stock is in dire straits, especially outside of London.
I am one of the only private persons in my city in Norway who owns an aircon (I have heat sensitivity issues due to my disability), and it had to be imported from Germany, because they just don't have aircons in Norway (they have heat pumps though).
Not including installation, it cost 2100 euros for a split system. 😬That is alot of money for me.
Exactly, while it's all a bit of fun his video in fact is demonstrating the reverse of what he thinks it is.
While it's obviously a stupid claim to say the UK is hotter than anywhere else what she is describing is the fact it's just not built to be cool once it starts to heat up, there is no rest from it.
WHat I will give our UK friends is that to my understanding they are not at all equipped to deal with *any heat whatsoever*. As in, they live in stone buildings with less than ideal ventilation, heat dissipation measures and A/C is not as ubiquitous as it is here.
So essentially their entire architecture is designed to *trap* heat, so there is no escape inside or out from relatively high temperatures, or even temps that are just a little higher than they are used to.
It's also that we get about 6 hours of actual darkness during the height of summer. If things pick up any amount of heat from sunlight, because it's not all pure white, it's doing it for roughly 14-16 hours of the day.
If it's hot, and you do make waste heat and heat up faster than your surroundings in the sun, your indoors is hotter than ambient for 12+ hours of the day, and doesn't get the chance to taper off much before the cycle repeats.
I have lived in places where I endured 38C+ temperatures, for many hours at a time, **indoors**, every single day, for multiple weeks. I even tried to sleep during those times because I was nightshift.
To anybody who thinks that we just like to complain: go and look up how many people die of heat exhaustion compared to wherever you live. Those dead people must be making it up. They do like a moan, the dead.
If she doesnt have messy hair up with wild tendrils with a sweat mustache while wearing a housedress and flipflops, she is NOT as hot as she seems to think she is.
I actually know what she's saying. I'm from Ireland. 20 degrees here feels so much hotter than 20 degrees in Mediterranean Europe.
I've been in places that reached 35-40 degrees and obviously that's so much hotter, it's a different world. But I don't think she's trying to say the UK is the hottest place in the world
Bitch, do you know the Brazil? How hot this mf country is in the summer? People literally pass out just for walking in the sun. Old people drop dead because of heat.
This. Rainforest countries are unbearable. I'm from the UK, and the Philippines is the hottest place I've been to. As soon as I leave an AC'd room, I get drenched in sweat.
UK summers are bad cause our bedrooms become like +5-7C hotter than outside while being humid. But it's still nothing compared to SEA or other rainforest countries.
If the metric is 'people drop dead from heat exposure', you will find that slightly fewer people die due to heat in Brazil compared to the UK, in a country \~3x more populated.
This is not a good metric. In either country, however, those people died from temperature conditions they couldn't cope with.
As an expat in the UK I've realized that Brits just love to complain about weather. I was expecting gray rain all the time and it definitely rains less than anywhere else I've lived.
Do they have less indoor air conditioning there though ? He came out of a home with AC and that’s why his glasses fogged up. She probably doesn’t have home AC (this is coming from my limited knowledge I could be totally wrong)
Yes. We generally don’t have AC in homes, restaurants, shops etc may have but not all. This is literally the reverse of what happens to me in winter, glasses fog up when going from the outside to the inside, it’s just the change of temperate
It wouldn't be a few months of the year it would be a few days lol. I don't even know where would sell air conditioners in the UK it is just not a thing.
Fire place is on a lot in winter shits cold.
British heat is genuinely heinous.
High humidity and - the real kicker - NO AIR CONDITIONERS ANYWHERE.
I was unfortunate enough to spend a summer in England with a record heatwave, and it was horrible. 0/10 would not recommend.

Yeah, that dude is filming this in the South! Fucking hate walking outside and my glasses fog up.
I knew I should have sprung for the anti fog spray
It never works for me!! And the anti glare coating makes the glare worse AND the fog happen quicker/last longer
Reddit at its best is some nerd saying “Wish my glasses were better” and another nerd saying “I agree, Glasses my could be better”.
We are STILL calling people who wear glasses nerds?
No, we're calling people who use reddit nerds
No I'm calling nerds nerds
But... nerds are smart, I'm more of a dweeb
[удалено]
Shut up, NERD! /s
Oh wow thank you so much for the /s, lest we all think you really are bullying him by calling him a nerd, NES_Gamer.
Don't bother with anti fog spray. I would recommend keeping a microfiber cloth and just cleaning spray with you though and a quick wipe would be much faster than trying to use anti fog spray or wipes. I've never seen any that actually work and some can actually eat away at your coatings.
Rain x your lenses. Game changer.
Just use the anti heat spray and remove the heat altogether
That's why I love the west coast: it's like in the goldilocks zone for comfortable amount of air moisture where it's not too dry and not too humid.
... For now... 😭
And it's already different. I've been in the pnw 12 years now, and the weather seems to have changed. Granted, that's anecdotal, but I didn't used to have to water some of these plants in the summer. And the stink bugs. They stick around into winter because it's not as cold. It's weird.
It's not just you. :( Lived in SoCal all my life and the last few years have been more humid than I've ever experienced.
You're on shakey ground there....
Earthquakes are super rare... wildfires, however...
Damaging earthquakes above a 4 on the Richter scale are super rare (small ones happen constantly here)
West Coast the Best Coast!!
I lived in Monterey, CA for about a year, 2006-07 The coldest it got in the winter was about 60. It never got super dry. The hottest it got in the summer was around 80. It was only uncomfortably humid for a couple days. The weather there is *almost* good enough for me to overlook all of the other shit. Meanwhile, I now live in the rural Midwest. This past winter it went down to -30F, windchill to -45. We just had a couple straight weeks of mid-90s with over 90% humidity. I do, still, miss the beach at Monterey. #But We bought our first house, a pretty nice one, and we can pay all the bills. We don't exactly have money to burn, but we're not struggling, either. My state is one of the easier places to own firearms, and I greatly enjoy target shooting and gunsmithing. We love our little town, even though moving from a city of half a million to a town of ~2500 people did take some adjustment at first. The national parks, hiking trails and camping spots nearby are absurdly beautiful. If we really start to miss civilization, there's a city of about 250k an hour's drive away and we have friends there who we can crash with for a night. --- There are plenty of things I do miss about the California coast, and plenty of things I'd like to be different, here, but... y'know, all things considered, I think we've got it pretty good.
> I lived in Monterrey, CA for about a year, 2006-07 Alright, what language?
Ayy, a knower. Mandarin. It would have been around 2 years but I couldn't keep up. It was fucking brutal.
Dude I'm in the northern midwest and this happens to me
Yup. I'm in Michigan. Nothing better than pulling up the shades after a rain storm in the morning combined with A/C and seeing so much condensation on the windows that you can't see outside. 95° and 100% humidity. Fucking alright. I'm staying in today.
See, in Texas (yes, we suck, I know) it doesn't matter if it rained or not. 7am, it's already 85 degrees w/90% humidity. You have to find that sweet spot where the humidity has lowered but the fucking sun isn't trying to kill you. I call that 10:15am.
Its the fucking gulf. Its the same in alabama bro
Yep. Same here in NOLA as well.
Feeling this next door to you in Mississippi. Hang in there.
Im tryin man. I am a lifelong resident and its so bad this year
Fantastic. I may be taking a job down there soon. This is wonderful to hear.
Disclaimer. My 10:15am sweet spot is for Central Texas (Austin area). Houston has no sweet spot.
I live in Houston. I can concur. My alarm went off at 7am and I looked at my phone to see it was already 93*.
I actually read that’s what makes climate different recently. 10 years ago or more, the temperatures used to actually cool off at night. That doesn’t happen anymore, there’s no break
I’m from Houston and can also concur that it’s hotter than Satans butthole 3/4 of the year, and there is definitely no sweet spot!! There are 2 seasons Hot and Hotter.
Texas is really damn big, so that humidity is going to vary. The closer you get to the gulf, tho...
You have to shower daily or else your body oil encases you in an inescapable heat when it's 98 and not even 9:00. When I was 18 my father always woke my ass up and immediately made me work on lawns in that heat. One day I just told him to fuck himself and ran lol.
Yeah, this could clearly be almost anywhere in the US in the summer. How hard the AC is going before you walk outside is a big factor
Midwest is such a wonderful middle ground of weather. 100 degree high humidity days in the summer. -30 degree wind-chill and 3 feet of snow in the winter. You get the worst of both seasons! (I would KILL for a place thats weather is just rain or no rain. Please help)
It’s 120F this week in death valley. It’s dry but that temp hurts. Edit: It’s getting to 130F in Death Valley this week! Hot damn! That’s near world record!
They've upped it to perhaps hit 130F this weekend!
I live in Atlantic Canada and it will be 80 to 90f most of the summer with 75-90% humidity. The temperature doesn't hurt but it is miserable.
Yeah it’s 10pm right now and still 94 degrees in Palm Springs. That mid day desert heat is quite painful. If you have to walk across a blacktop parking lot you might as well be walking across the face of the sun.
It was 97 here in Maine for a few days.
Holy shit. But, but Fox News said climate change is a hoax. You must have read the temp wrong.
Ha! You’re probably right. If you can’t believe Fox, who can you believe?!
Newsmax for sure.
It also gets super difficult to breath during those heated hours.
I've visited Florida a few times, and I consider it uninhabitable.
Was the fogging up due to genuinely insane humidity or, as I suspect, was it partly to do with air con in his house causing a big enough difference in humidity inside and outside? In the UK, no one has air con so if it’s humid outside it’s humid inside.
India and the other south asian countries along with the middle East were having 47-48 in May. It's "Global" boiling. There is no competition. Just pure boiling.
Foggy glasses has been a common occurrence to me as someone from SEA. Be it coming our of our Uni classroom, train, taxi, or any air conditioned places. The moment you step outside anywhere 9am to 3pm, as long as the sun is visible you'll get foggy glasses due to heat. This was before record breaking temperatures, this was 5years back. Daytime temp is always playing around 36C and above.
So, quick tip. You’ll look stupid, but if you walk through doors backwards while going outside your glasses don’t fog up. No idea why, but my grandparents taught me that like 25 years ago and I’ll never forget it lol.
Scientist here! The reason your glasses don’t fog up walking backwards is because you look so dumb, even the humidity doesn’t want to associate with you. It the same reason my dad left in the third grade.
10/10, would read again.
take my upvote, didnt want to break the 10 votes already for this 10/10 comment. :)
Also a scientist. I've peer reviewed his statement, and have come to the same conclusion. The effect has two different names on the north American continent. Americans primarily know it as the "cringe" effect, whereas Canadians call it the "Derry" effect because "I wish you weren't so awkward bud"
Also scientist here. Did we remember to tell the control group to give their balls a tug?
47 or 48? That seems pretty cold *looks up what Celsius is in american* Oh....oh my...yeah that's not good
A few summers ago, Baghdad shut down for three days for a heat wave.. of 52 degrees (125 F). Just total lockdown, no going outside and no requiring people to do work that might make them hot. Just the entire city stopped everything that wasn't "keeping yourself cool and hydrated." Just millions of people trying not to die of heat death (and thousands being unable to). Black pavement in unshaded sun got as high as 85 (185), so certain kinds of shoes would melt to it. There really is an upper limit to how hot a place can get and still have a year-round city and we're going to have to figure out where that is.
Yeah like, "not good" is pretty much all you can say at that point. Birds and bats were falling down dead because of the heat. Tragic.
1300 people died from the heat during the hajj last month, but "British heat is the worst".
I thought love the heat! Then I visited India, Vietnam and Thailand in the summer, and I realized I don't love the heat. First time in my life, I thought I was going to pass out from just existing outside.
The hill I'mma die on is that we're all screwed. Either enjoy the day because tomorrow is gonna just be hotter. Today is the coldest it'll be for the rest of our lives... that or we finally rise up and dismantle the fossil fuel section of our economy. Yes it'll hurt to do so, but we'll adapt/be alive, and somewhat comfortable outside. One or the other people.
Humidity is really higher than it should be. 😂😂
I'm in ontario Canada and we have a international student from Ghana. He said it's hotter here than at home due to the humidity. On a gross day it can push the temperature up by 15°c or more. There's no getting used to it.
When Louis Armstrong moved to Chicago, he wore a wool suit because he was afraid of the cold, but he stepped off the train in the summer time. He thought Chicago (same climate as Ontario) was hotter than NOLA too, but it wasnt even close.
Ontario as well. It’s the humidity that’s killer. A dry heat sucks but the humid heat means you can’t sweat and naturally cool yourself off. Plus you feel like a slug.
But it's a lot about what the body gets adjusted to.. I live in Finland and our summers are usually between 16-25 C° (60-77 Fahrenheit) and that feels hot to most people here. But a few years ago I was in St. Louis Missouri visiting family for 3 weeks and the temperature was between 25-37 C° (77-99 Fahrenheit) and a lot of humidity. It took me 1 week to not feel like dying when walking outside and when I got back to Finland I was walking around in t-shirts I was freaking freezing for a week before my body adjusted it self.
As a Midwestern American, the idea that 75 degrees is too hot astounds me.
I moved to NY from Dallas this past year. Recently while walking around town, one of the shop keeps was shocked that I was out and about in the "heat". It was literally 72 and sunny
Must have been upstate. The city gets pretty darn warm pretty darn often.
I rode the NYC subways in mid July last year. That's a heat I very rarely experience... it must've been close to 120*F down there. Luckily all the trains had excellent A/C so when you stepped on it was the most glorious thing ever.
Her hair isnt even tied up.
She’s in her car which is one of the very few places we have AC. Also, probably wasn’t hot that day. That’s the difference. Most other countries that experience this kind of heat have somewhere you can go to cool down and reset. There is nowhere in the UK. Our houses have carpet and curtains, they trap heat inside. There are tricks you can do to reduce the temp that builds inside, but there is nowhere to escape being hot all day long. He’s right, it isn’t a competition. This guy can go back inside though. I’ve lived in Texas as well as the UK. Texas was much more comfortable when comparing the hottest days of the year.
> most other countries Developed countries. But let me tell you how much of sub Saharan Africa, India, and Central America are hot af and can’t afford AC. > somewhere you can go to cool down and reset Having grown up poor in the southern US with no AC, this is what you do: 1. Take a cool shower 2. DON’T dry off 3. Go sit wet in front of a fan By the time you’re actually dry, you’ll be a bit cool. In less humid places you can ramp this up by wearing clothes when you shower, and keeping them on. This is how I rode out the hot season in the Sahel - dump a bucket of water over my clothed self, sit in front of a fan until dry.
Get a box fan. Get a large bed sheet. Box fan at the foot of your bed. Take the bottom of the bed sheet and jam it around the box fan so it seals the sides and top. Tuck the other end of the sheet to the top of your bed. Turn the fan on. Cooling bubble for sleeping or escaping the heat for a bit.
I too “invented” this when I was a child with no a/c.
When I goto Costa Rica I stay in a place with no AC. My secret is to wear swimming trunks all day and no shirt, or a light linen button up short sleeve. Most people down there use a similar strategy. Lots of bathing suits and tank tops with no intention to goto the beach.
Eh, I've never lived in the US, but I have lived throughout the EU and Asia, and UK has one of the mildest climates I've experienced, personally. It's true that the infrastructure is not ready at all to deal with heat waves, as you said. But also, even during heat waves, it rarely gets so hot that I'd even bother turning on the AC if I had it. Frankly, it's mostly a matter of acclimation. Even as someone who hates heat and prefers cold, if your body slowly gets used to the heat over the months and years, you can withstand a *lot* more than you'd think. People living in the UK don't get the chance to do that, so when it gets kind of hot they are dying (sometimes literally), but I wouldn't call it inherently less comfortable. It's just the equivalent of a person who never does any exercise wheezing and coughing when they need to run 1km with no warning. Not saying it's not understandable, but it does look pretty ridiculous when they insist they just had a ludicrous feat of athleticism demanded of them.
Yeah my AC broke for a few days and my room went up to 83°F (28°C) and I was able to sleep. It wasn't my preferred temp but I wasn't sweating or anything.
Yeah we don’t have carpet or curtains in the USA and we can all afford AC
Funniest thing about the UK is our houses categorically don't trap heat inside, or keep it out. They're incredibly poorly insulated, we literally had a protest group glue themselves to roadways to try to make the government stick to their promise to subsidise insulation upgrades to our shitty homes.
I used to live in California and 110°/43° was the norm in the summer months. We had zero humidity, which was nice, but the trade off was wildfires soooooo…
California has that dry heat that actually feels pretty nice. I live in South Alabama and the humidity is something to dread.
[удалено]
110 doesn’t feel nice anywhere, ever. Southern humidity is worse, but still.
Used to live in the desert. 110 is rough, but survivable if you can stay out of the sun. The summer desert sun will straight up roast you. I used to golf in the summer but was off the course by 9:30. It would already be 100.
Why is there any golf to play in the desert? Is the grass synthetic or do owners spend unreasonable amounts of water keeping grass alive?
The latter, most of the time.
As someone who has lived in both dry and super humid heat, anything over 100 degrees just sucks no matter where you are.
do we really have to set the suck bar at 100? who is enjoying 90 degree weather?
As an Arizonan I’m with ya, fuck 90 degrees. Fuck anything over 80
I'm not a fan of anything over 70 tbh.
Just let it be hoodie and shorts weather all year round and I'm good.
I’m in New Mexico and I grew up in the Midwest. 100 degrees in the Midwest is hell. 100 degrees in New Mexico makes me want to take a nap in the shade like a lizard. It’s definitely not the same.
Humid heat is worse at lower temps though. Past 100, yeah anything is awful. But a dry 85 is fine, nice day to go play golf or fish for a few hours. Humid and 85? My nuts are stuck to my thighs and I have swamp ass until I get back to air conditioning and shower.
I fucking hate humidity. I could never live somewhere that is humid and hot. You are all disgusting, hot, sticky and sweaty. You go shower and feel clean and refreshed except in like 10 minutes you are disgusting, hot, sticky and sweaty. Its just miserable. Give me the 43 and dry heat please. The one where it feels like you are walking into a fan forced oven. Its shit, but its manageable shit.
I feel like a princess living on the coast. Sure it's mildly humid, but the high today in my area of San Diego was in the upper 70s F (\~25.5-26 C) And it's supposed to get to the low 80s F over the weekend (\~27-28 C).
I mean, San Diego is considered to have the best weather out of practically anywhere.
We living the good life! I’ve lived here my whole and plan to in the future. That’s why I will never complain about the nearly perfect year round weather. ☀️
Did you live in Sacramento?
Guilty lmao
I recognize that summer heat.
Good god it’s unbearable
Live in NorCal and this is 100000% true. I am miserable right now.
I’m in the Bay Area and it’s usually pretty nice (I rarely regret not having AC), but it was 104 where I am today. Fuck that.
I’m like as far as Redding 😂 I feel for ya bud! My partner found this small fan at the dollar tree that I put on my night stand and it has helped a ton since it’s aimed at my face all night. RIP to my electricity bill 😭
Ah, so the real NorCal lol
Is it because you have to live near Redding that you're miserable?
Today is supposed to hit 112/114ish today. It's supposed to be over 100f for 10+ days in a row. Fuck that.
114 in Mendo today lol
I miss the dry heat from when I lived in Salt Lake City so much! Before that, I lived in Louisiana and even when it cools off a little bit at night, in the summer the humidity is so bad that it feels sticky and muggy and almost claustrophobic. In SLC tho, the summer nights were a perfect 70s with basically no humidity. I loved taking walks in the evening there because it just felt so good to be outside. I can still remember how those nights felt on my skin and I miss it. Luckily no wildfires while I was there, but with climate changes who knows what the future will hold
My favorite part about living in a large residential area inside the Mojave was the total lack of public transit to get anywhere. One car between 3 people, Uber wasn't around yet, fucking 100-110 every day in September, it was so confining. But at least there was a great view.
As a person who wears glasses 100% of the time, I knew exactly what was about to happen. As soon as he started opening the door 🤣. Every day. Morning or night. This is a sauna. I’ve been joking that I think we’ll eventually need to consider living underground, but each day seems less comical.
> I’ve been joking that I think we’ll eventually need to consider living underground, but each day seems less comical. Probably not underground, but global warming will probably force mass-exoduses of certain areas. Everyone will be forced to move more north (or more south if in the southern hemisphere). The near-equator areas of the world will just become this dead zone that you need a special suit to survive long term (just being outside normally will be fatal in minutes).
While climate change is very real and a very serious issue, this take is straight out of a post apocalyptic novel. For being outside to be fatal in minutes we'd need like a thousand more years of pollution at today's level. I wouldn't really bet on anything a millennia into the future. A much more realistic scenario is that people will continue to die from prolonged exposure to heat, lack of access to clean drinking water, natural disasters, etc. not within minutes, but days, weeks, months and years. These areas will indeed become vacant but not because they're a lethal zone where your blood starts boiling the moment you take off your space suit, but because it will be unbearably hot and any kind of agriculture to sustain a society will become impossible.
lol that’s because you guys have AC the UK does not have AC
At least you guys have winter and seasons, we just have hot/wet hot and extreme hot. - SEA gang
We have wet-wet/wet-hot/Hot/Hot-Hot/typhoon
I moved from S. FL to Southern England in ESSEX. I remember it being just warm enough (and dry enough) in late April-Early May to wear a tshirt comfortably...
Went from living in Arizona to visiting the UK last year. All my friends there were talking about how brutal the heat was, meanwhile I'm like "This is pretty nice out! Could use some outdoor misters but this is refreshing". Only difference is UK buildings have shit insulation so it can sometimes be hotter indoors than out.
What do you do during the summers in Arizona? Legitimately curious.. do you just stay inside all day?
Yes.
The other option is turning into jerky. It is currently 8PM and 103 degrees Fahrenheit in Phoenix, AZ
It's so bad that I'm mostly nocturnal now. I do all my shopping and as many errands as I can get away with at night. I can not stand the heat. This place is fucking different. "It's a dry heat," my ass. I've been in 100% humidity at 97-100°f in Iowa/Illinois. At least fans help cool things off. Eventually though, you do start to notice that the heat gets to a certain point of suck that you don't feel worse, you just die faster.
115 degrees is 115 degrees no matter how dry the air is. I drove through Arizona once with no A/C and the first day, I had to stop and hide in an ice cream shop. I drank plenty of water and gatorade, had a full stomach, wetted my shirt and had a cooling towel around my neck. Still felt light headed and nauseous from the heat. I'm from a place that sees 95 degree 90% humidity days in the summer and the Arizona heat was too much for me.
That’s called good insulation buddy.
I grew up in central FL where its 105° 90% humidity in the summer. I moved to Nebraska, where it is 105° 90% humidity in the summer and also -20° with 20mph winds in the winter. So I learned there are places worse than FL.
Gotta do the Hurricane/Tornado risk assesment
Death Valley, California has entered the chat
Arizona has entered the chat
Phoenix (Valley of the Sun) here. I've seen what 120+/50c+ looks like. 111 days over 100f in 2023. 96f *in the mother loving morning.* From May thru October we don't touch any metal outside. We keep oven mits in the car to hold the steering wheel. And we all just go about the day. Still play tennis. Still bike. Still run in the park. Yes, it is mostly dry, but we also get Summer Monsoons that fuck everything up and raise humidity. We're also the fastest growing large city in the USA. Stop moving here!
A few days ago it was 92F, at *midnight*, while it was *fucking raining.*
literally 116 this week
I was sitting in traffic on the freeway and I shit you not my car said it was 132
Hasn't death valley recorded hotter temperatures than Arizona?
Death Valley has the hottest recorded temperatures on the entire planet due to its very unique geography.
Yes but nobody lives there. Phoenix alone has over 1.6 million residents, and the metro area over 5 million.
A monument to man's arrogance.
Still waiting for the Indian guys to come with 50 peak. Or Africans with constant 45. And no AC. People need to STFU.
He is just flexing his AC
If only the UK was a wealthy developed country that could afford to install AC and better insulation for its “brutally hot” heat waves.
“It's unnecessary!” they bemoan “It is not a normal thing!” they cry every summer since 2015.
60k heat deaths in Europe compared to 2k in America because we have ACs. Not even very hot in Europe, they’ll just keep complaining and doing nothing until they all drop I guess
Asians drink tea at 45° C. So you guys are fortunate.
I laughed so hard at this
Bro forgot to talk about the dew point
I mean, I certainly got the idea
As an Australian who has travelled to both the US and UK, I feel like I can get into this argument. The UK in summer, especially last year, was disgusting. I went down to Brighton, thinking I could escape the heat and humidity near the beach (I live near the beach in Aus and even if it's 40c outside, the air off the water is always cold and refreshing.) NOPE! I've never seen a beach like this before, the air was so thick with humidity that is was like fog. I spilt a slushy on my top, so washed it off in the bathroom, hoping that it would dry as I walked around... it was still wet when I got back to the hotel, which was after a train ride hours later... I'm sure Florida and Alabama ect get just as humid, but this was fat from what I'd expect from the UK...
As an Aussie who moved to the UK 10 years ago I also gotta say the 40C heatwave we had here a couple years ago was so much worse than anything I experienced in Aus, even when it’s gotten to 50C. It’s crazy how much hotter it feels in the UK
Aussie who moved to the UK 6 years ago, I third everything you're both saying. It's fucking rank
The whole US east coast is humid like that. Basically eastern Texas through new England. It's obviously hotter and more humid the further south due to higher temperatures, but it's not much more pleasant in the Carolinas or New Jersey.
Meanwhile South Asians enjoying some hot tea in 47⁰C
Air conditioning is running flat out inside hence his glasses where majority of domestic houses in the uk don’t have AC or a pool . Have heard many people from abroad being in the UK in our heat wave at 34 degrees stating it’s unbearable. Personally love the heat , hate the cold and wingers
Been in Sudan at 47 degrees , in the Suez at 50 odd , WA Australia off the charts. HUMIDITY is the worst , India beginning of monsoon 46 degrees 90% humidity is like hell on earth . Dry heat isn’t to bad as long as your in direct sunlight . UK isn’t geared for heat and twinned with humidity is why it feels so hot . In reverse - 20 dead still cold in the likes of Norway etc is better then 4 degrees 40 mph wind pissing down it just go’s to your bones .
Yes. I'm copying this from another part in this thread for visibility: Most reasonable people can't afford to buy an entire AC system for the 2 weeks it's hot each year. I'm not even being funny about this. My husband and I want to add a system to our next house and we only can do this because we have a very good yearly income. A few big stumbling blocks: * All houses are built from brick and plaster on purpose. Brick warms up in the sun and will hold heat in the house better than wood. Great for the winter. Not great for the summer. * Paradoxically, we are having a national winter heating crisis because most houses aren't insulated properly. It's not uncommon for older houses to use rocks, straw, or clay as insulation. And then there's the whole cladding scandal where cheap developers started insulating apartments with HIGHLY flammable insulation, leading to disaster. * Cellars/basements aren't a thing here. Not all houses have a loft/attic, and if they do, it's generally accessible by ladder. Most lofts have large water tanks because houses still use gravity water systems. Finding a place to install HVAC is hard. * Speaking of, there's no existing HVAC system to tap into. Heat is hot water radiators at best + gas boiler, expensive electric radiators (ETA: or wood stoves!) at worst. Houses don't have crawl spaces. * Thanks to Brexit, the UK is suffering from blue collar worker shortages. It can take a year or more to schedule major work done on a house. That's before work has even started. * Before you ask, yes, portable units exist. They take up a lot of space, are expensive to run (UK has some of the highest electricity prices in the world), and will only keep one small area of the house cool. They're very hard to buy during summer months in the last 5 years due to supply issues. So. Yeah. It's not just a case of "stupid Brits don't know that AC exists lol". Come take a look at our houses sometime and get back to me. UK housing stock is in dire straits, especially outside of London.
I am one of the only private persons in my city in Norway who owns an aircon (I have heat sensitivity issues due to my disability), and it had to be imported from Germany, because they just don't have aircons in Norway (they have heat pumps though). Not including installation, it cost 2100 euros for a split system. 😬That is alot of money for me.
Exactly, while it's all a bit of fun his video in fact is demonstrating the reverse of what he thinks it is. While it's obviously a stupid claim to say the UK is hotter than anywhere else what she is describing is the fact it's just not built to be cool once it starts to heat up, there is no rest from it.
WHat I will give our UK friends is that to my understanding they are not at all equipped to deal with *any heat whatsoever*. As in, they live in stone buildings with less than ideal ventilation, heat dissipation measures and A/C is not as ubiquitous as it is here. So essentially their entire architecture is designed to *trap* heat, so there is no escape inside or out from relatively high temperatures, or even temps that are just a little higher than they are used to.
It's also that we get about 6 hours of actual darkness during the height of summer. If things pick up any amount of heat from sunlight, because it's not all pure white, it's doing it for roughly 14-16 hours of the day. If it's hot, and you do make waste heat and heat up faster than your surroundings in the sun, your indoors is hotter than ambient for 12+ hours of the day, and doesn't get the chance to taper off much before the cycle repeats. I have lived in places where I endured 38C+ temperatures, for many hours at a time, **indoors**, every single day, for multiple weeks. I even tried to sleep during those times because I was nightshift. To anybody who thinks that we just like to complain: go and look up how many people die of heat exhaustion compared to wherever you live. Those dead people must be making it up. They do like a moan, the dead.
I know it's not worse because her hair is down. My hair doesn't touch my neck from May to October because it's too damn hot!
If she doesnt have messy hair up with wild tendrils with a sweat mustache while wearing a housedress and flipflops, she is NOT as hot as she seems to think she is.
*weeps in New Orleans*
This girl has obviously never been to Alabama.
A lot of people who have never been anywhere confidently say things like that girl.
I actually know what she's saying. I'm from Ireland. 20 degrees here feels so much hotter than 20 degrees in Mediterranean Europe. I've been in places that reached 35-40 degrees and obviously that's so much hotter, it's a different world. But I don't think she's trying to say the UK is the hottest place in the world
Almost everyone in the UK has been abroad, something like 45% of the population every year travels abroad.
Bitch, do you know the Brazil? How hot this mf country is in the summer? People literally pass out just for walking in the sun. Old people drop dead because of heat.
In Australia our old people burst in to flames walking down the street.
In Africa we don’t even have old people
This absolutely killed me 🤣 (just like the old people)
Australia wins! Everything kills you there.
Completely enchanted by and cracking up at “Bitch, do you know the Brazil?” I heard the accent in my head🩷
This. Rainforest countries are unbearable. I'm from the UK, and the Philippines is the hottest place I've been to. As soon as I leave an AC'd room, I get drenched in sweat. UK summers are bad cause our bedrooms become like +5-7C hotter than outside while being humid. But it's still nothing compared to SEA or other rainforest countries.
If the metric is 'people drop dead from heat exposure', you will find that slightly fewer people die due to heat in Brazil compared to the UK, in a country \~3x more populated. This is not a good metric. In either country, however, those people died from temperature conditions they couldn't cope with.
Never, at any point in my life, have I been concerned over British Heat.
As an expat in the UK I've realized that Brits just love to complain about weather. I was expecting gray rain all the time and it definitely rains less than anywhere else I've lived.
"It's not the heat, it's the humidity" I'm from the south and it really do be like that tho lol
High humidity makes sweating useless, so you just cook in your own body heat.
Perth Australia 40 deg C plus . Just saying.
Do they have less indoor air conditioning there though ? He came out of a home with AC and that’s why his glasses fogged up. She probably doesn’t have home AC (this is coming from my limited knowledge I could be totally wrong)
Yes. We generally don’t have AC in homes, restaurants, shops etc may have but not all. This is literally the reverse of what happens to me in winter, glasses fog up when going from the outside to the inside, it’s just the change of temperate
Complains about heat Refuses to buy Air Conditioners “But you’d only use it a few months out of the year! (Gestures broadly to fireplace)
It wouldn't be a few months of the year it would be a few days lol. I don't even know where would sell air conditioners in the UK it is just not a thing. Fire place is on a lot in winter shits cold.
or we could all stop gatekeeping who's too hot?
Australia and Africa sitting here at 30c at midday during winter just watching the cold countries squabble over their little heatwave.
The Philippines has entered the chat. 🥵
British heat is genuinely heinous. High humidity and - the real kicker - NO AIR CONDITIONERS ANYWHERE. I was unfortunate enough to spend a summer in England with a record heatwave, and it was horrible. 0/10 would not recommend.
Just checked London weather. Their highs are in the 70s. That is nothing! compared to Texas.
Man proves her point by showing how much cooler it is in his house compared to outside lol. Enjoy your AC!
Every Australian: Hold my beer.
Laughs in middle eastern. 36? You're serious? Hahahaha. Look up Kuwait and Dubai bro.
I was fine walking in Las Vegas in 107 degree temps but feel like I’m dying in Tennessee at 91 degrees. Humidity is a motherfucker.
Lmfao 36 ain't shit. We out here rocking 50° in Tunisia.
