        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?

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

          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 32°C here and I’m dying. I love my 15°C.

        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.

    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.
