If it gets too cold I can bundle up. If it gets too hot theres only so many clothes I can take off before that bitch Brenda goes to H.R.

    See, my problem is that being too hot is just uncomfortable to me but being too cold is physically painful no matter how many layers I put on.

    You need better layers then. If it’s your face that’s a problem get a good scarf and angle it so your breath blows back up over your nose and cheeks.

    I’ve been out and comfortable in -30°C/-20°F, but much below that and it get tricky without goggles, and boot and glove warmers.

    I can put on 3 layers of clothes but i cannot take off my skin to get cooler

    It's also easier to add heat in a room than to remove it in my exp

    This is only how a cold weather person thinks about heat. That's not how real life works.

    One light layer of linen is amazing. Your body does the work on its own. Touregs in the Sahara wear a light layer of light fabric. Look at Saudis and the traditional outfit. Italy in the summer. All similar. All perfectly comfortable.

    Every time I've been to Italy in the summer, north or south, everyone is in summer uniform. Same in Greece, but obviously the Italian version was fancier.

    Unless... Are you an 80 year old man wearing polyester and wool and a vest and a hat in August on the farm?

    Seriously, though, any search online for summer Italian wear is usual light clothing.

    Tell me you have been only in turistic areas where everyone tries to strut and show off to turists without telling me you have been only in turistic areas:

    A mix of both, really. Had to spend a week in some random part of Milan for a conference at a university some the space was free.

    For real, tough, even Eastern Europe dresses in light summer clothing during the summer. You can't be telling me that people in Tirana or Sofia do this and Italians don't?

    And sure, we're both just one data point of information. But so what would you say is the most common summer wear if not light clothes?

    Me saying a light layer of linen is great isn't also being applied to everyone else.

    Touregs in the Sahara wear a light layer of light fabric. Look at Saudis and the traditional outfit. Italy in the summer. All similar.

    My friend, Touregs don't wear linen. Neither do Saudis. Let's try this:

    Cherry pie is great. Touregs in the Sahara enjoy beef pies. Look at Saudis with their empanadas. Italy and lemon tarts. All similar.

    I wish USA would go metric so I could instinctively understand what 45⁰C is without consulting a conversion calculator. I'm guessing 45⁰C is 90-100F? BRB lemme verify ... Oh jeez it's 113⁰F! 🔥

    What I did, was I just switched my phone's weather app to Celsius and spent a year walking outside to work. It rewires your sense of temperature.

    Yeah, F is just more accurate. I know you can use decimals, but I never see anyone post C temps as 20.2. It's 20 or it's 21, which is anywhere from 68-69.8F, expressed as 70. We've got a whole extra degree in there!

    People round out time all the time, why is that different. C is more accurate, people round out of convenience. How accurate to a tenth of degree is almost never relevant. A cloud moves in front of the sun and you feel it change... so you ballpark it.

    Technically people should hate me most cause i offend everyone. I like very continental climates so both hot summers and cold winters, i just like seeing the seasons and the smell in the air change, having a dip in a cold lake or sea during summer, having the perfect weather for outdoor activites during fall, being able to ski, build snowmen, chill inside during winter, etc. I know i have bias cause i was born somewhere where the climate is like this but i just love it. Everyone has their preferences.

    Autumn and spring are better than both. Both of the extremes are getting less fun every year.

    I don't like it when it's so hot I want to take off my skin

    I also don't like it when it's so cold I have to somehow instantly magic another 4 layers on/off me when walking through a door to not freeze/sweat to death.

    Give me comfortable 2 layer weather where I can wear the same thing indoors and outdoors and feel fine

    It's not one thing, it's multiple things together.

    Cold is okay alone, but add wind and/or rain and cold sucks.

    Heat is okay without humidity, and as long as it still gets cool at night for a break. Heat with wind and/or rain is okay, but heat with wind and dust sucks. Dust always sucks.

    The sunlight makes up for it. Having like 6 hours of real sunlight fucking sucks. I also hate having to put on like six layers to take out the garbage without having the air hurt my skin

    Sunlight isn't worth much when it's too hot to leave the house without fear of heatstroke.

    The alternative is it being too cold to leave without fear of frostbite.

    Also unless you're wearing a full Arctic exploration suit then the air is gunna hurt when it's -35c (with windchill) which fucking sucks for doing small errands. I'd rather just be a little hot and not need to put on a whole 10 layers to bring out the garbage or recycling

    edit: I'd also rather die of heatstroke enjoying my 12 hours of sunlight than die frozen in the 3:30pm darkness

    Come live in the hellscape of Texas. You cannot go outside from late may until mid October. It was 103F+ from mid July until 3 days ago. I paid almost $700 for my electric bill last month. The house is stale and hasn't had fresh air in months. I have a huge list of projects that I very much want to make progress on, but ten minutes outside takes me multiple hours to recover from. The temperature in the parking lot in front of the grocery store was above 120F a few days ago.

    Seasonal depression occurs in the cursed summer here. As soon as my family members pass on, I will never return to this god forsaken, scorched wasteland.

    I am thoroughly depressed all summer. The first cooler, shorter day I’m like a happy new person. I’m a redhead and can easily get sick being in the sun. Fuck summer, bring on the cooler, shorter, stormier days and I’m all in for snowball fights, sledding, soups, sweaters, cozy fires, and a good scotch.

    For runners, the difference between 60F and 100F (~15.5 - 37.8 C) is about 2 minutes per mile at the same effort. That's a huge difference. Humidity makes it worse because your body's main method for cooling itself doesn't work, but sweating, comfort, and preference aside, its literally harder to do anything in the heat.

    No flu, no sickness (maybe once), no runny nose, no stiff joints, wanting to actually do stuff, having more productive time to do stuff, being able to go into nature and hang out all the time.

    Winters are absolutely depressing and miserable.
