Guessing; but places where it gets cold enough to look like that also get dark early in the day. IIRC it was dark at 1.30pm when I was last in Finland in winter.
Here in Pretoria South Africa when I woke up it was 1°C real feel was -6 that's insane for us we seldomly have minimum temps below 10. It even snowed in some parts yesterday we never get snow. This video made me feel even colder
Yeah no heating. Houses are built for summer. We have gas heaters for indoor heating. And yeah some warm clothes help but we also don't really have what people in the northern hemisphere consider winter clothes here
They speak russian. "Я не готова, я не готова, я не готова!.. БЛЯТЬ!" ("I'm not ready, I'm not ready, I'm not ready! FUCK!), then "ТИХО!" (means "WATCH OUT!" in his context). Source: just look at this magnificent carpet. Also I'm russian.
Taking an ice water plunge on Epiphany has become a thing among the Russian Orthodox size the end of the Soviet Union despite not being a traditional practice.
The weather forecast for the next 2 weeks here in Austin, TX is 102-103 every day, no real chance of rain. That's 39C for the rest of the world. A dip in ice water is a luxury at this point.
This is today in Australia, nice sunny T-shirt and jeans weather - It's the middle of winter. We are going to be so fucked in summer around December/January and we know it ....
I adore winter. No sweating. Comfy temp to sleep in. You can always put on more clothes, pump up the heat, light a fire in the fireplace. Whereas in summer you can only take off so much clothes before you have to decide how much heat skin retains and whether you should shuck it off or not.
I would feel bad for you if I didn't know you guys have air con in every building. I live in the UK where no houses have ac (unless you're rich) and are built to retain heat.
We DO have AC. Around Austin at least, it's a required utility, like electric and water. Your landlord goes to jail if they don't provide AC/fix AC when broken. It IS nicer, but also without it, people die. Few building in the US were made without the presumption of AC, so they're extremely bad at being naturally cool.
Also, having AC doesn't always help, when the state's power grid is unreliable. Last summer, we were having brownouts and rolling blackouts in some areas. I'm actually surprised I haven't heard anything like that THIS year.
Luckily, I'm on the same power grid as like, 3 large hospitals (up here in Round Rock to be specific). I felt a little guilty at the time, but when we had those big ice storms, shut everything down? I spent most nights in the outdoor hot tub watching movies. I offered it to my friends & their kids, but they literally couldn't get here.
As someone who's currently in 30C in Prague, I feel you. I left southern Italy because summer there was normally in the 35+C, and I seem to have brought the heat along with me. I guess I should move to Iceland or Greenland, or maybe join some expedition in Antarctica...
Too bad your governor can't get your electrical grid up to snuff and removed the mandatory water breaks for the workers. I forsee a lot of heat deaths in the near future.
Ugh, don't miss that. When I lived in TX I'd stop at a convenience store on the way home that had a huge walk in beer fridge. Then I'd just.... browse for five or ten minutes.
The annual average for relative humidity in Austin ranges throughout the day from 84 percent at 6:00 am to 49 percent at 3:00 pm standard time. Currently at 79% at 9:49 AM.
Growing up in Santa Fe NM, these %’s mean nothing to me. 0% humidity is kind of the standard. Except for monsoon season, which is soon/nowish. Humidity might get above 2% for a couple hours. Maybe
It's hot enough that you're not only making crotch-flavored soup in your pants, but because every part of you is slightly damp and sticking to your clothing, you cannot adjust them without doing something that looks extremely vulgar.
It pisses me off that people love that sort of weather! That weather makes me so rational angry! It’s hell! Like literally how I’ve heard someone describe hell as. And people chose to live there! Like it’s understandable if someone doesn’t have the ability to move to a better climate, but the people that chose to live there and boil alive in a soup of their own juices mixed with whatever bugs landed on them and got stuck in their viscous sweat! Why do they prefer this to a gentle winter!!!!!!!!!
If you're actually overheated, cold water immersion is the best treatment for heatstroke. Yes blood circulation can go up, but only if you drop your core temperature below normal levels. And increased circulation is very healthy in and of itself. If you go down 10 degrees, and go up 1 degree in response, you've still lost 9 degrees.
I've genuinely encountered people who've their only lesson in American geography probably came from cartoons. So your sarcasm was not obvious I'm afraid.
Yes, i know our system is quite on ... diferent level. Like detailed history of American civil war, multi page essays when you are 13 year old and so on. You ofc could choose from several interesting topics: American Civil war, Beginning of Soviet Union, Spanish American wars of independence etc.. I chose Texas Revolution ;) Mainly because Crockett and Bowie were so cool.
Most of Texas isn't desert. We have pine forests, deciduous forests, a lot of plains and scrubs, and swamps. Austin's in the forest-to-scrub part. The part you're thinking of, with the cowboys, is mostly in West Texas and the Panhandle- and is /still/ not meant to get and stay this hot.
Austin looks like this, my dude. Texas is bordered by Louisiana on the east side, and that state is basically sloppy mud with trees in it. Austin is almost 600 miles from the western border of Texas and New Mexico.
Though to be totally 100% fair, most years at this time, all the grass is brown. Most of the trees are brown too. They rarely get above 20' anyway because they're stunted and weak. There's only a few years where a picture like this where everything is green is possible.
The sunsets are almost always incredible. Lots of dust and fertilizers from mexico blow in and result in the most amazing purples, pinks, oranges and so on.
Yeah, I work in logistics. Luckily I write the code, not move the packages, but even with Big Ass-brand fans, it's pretty bad. Worse when they make me stand out there to do less efficiently what I could do from an office, you know without trying to balance a laptop on a railing and searching logs, using a full sized keyboard and mouse and multiple monitors ...
I have a big ass fans hat from a trade show. And I 100% had 4 senior developers fly in this week to code from the floor because all I hear is “I need more detail” and “it’s a training issue” when their software doesn’t work. Normally fine to have the software guys at home, but part of me loves when they gotta come sweat with us. When the software causes an 8 hour day to be a 12 hour day I want them to have a little more skin in the game
In my case, when the operators on the floor and the IE who's supposed to be running the show keeps cutting corners in process and then reporting it as bugs and ends up just backlogging 30k packages for a week until it's suddenly my problem and I have to write custom software to allow them to presort 50 different trucks worth of parcels in a day on existing machines because suddenly NOW it's important...
Every time I bring up the idea that folks who are really depressed about the world or maybe just very old, and so do not fear prison or death, could come down here and ... help with some of our current problematic politicians, imgur deletes my message and threatens to ban me.
Likely not accurate to external temperature, fortunately. Cars heat up real bad when left idle. They can hit 120F inside in reasonable temperatures, let alone this.
Yeah. Lucky me, it looks like the indoor unit of my heat pump has a crack as well, so it's leaking a lot of condensation when it's actively running. Already came through my garage ceiling. It's either let it run and be reasonably cool or have a less damaged floor. First schedule for repairman: the 18'th, over a week away. *sighs*
Feel ya, Europe is getting roaste too right now. Yesterday 37C, AC is completely overwhelmed with this heat. Looking out of the window reminds me of a dessert. Everything is completely dry, even some trees are starting to go yellow and throw off leaves due to extreme dryness. Fire department is going crazy, one fire after another.
for water you can fill a bottle a third to half and let it lie down in the freezer. you now have a giant ice block to chill drinks into. and if you cant drink anymore water ( too much cold drinks can make you produce more heat) just put the bottle on your skin to cool down
And here in England we are forecast for 8C° with thunderstorms and torrential rain. Last summer was the hottest I have ever felt in my life at 40C°, that was absolutely unbearable.
The weather in much of the country was solidly lovely between late April and about halfway through June, though. Or maybe that was just Devon and I'm extrapolating. Either way, it's good we've finally had some proper rain.

Where the hell is it forecast for 8°? I'm in London looking at high teens/low twenties all week

The weather in much of the country was solidly lovely between late April and about halfway through June, though. Or maybe that was just Devon and I'm extrapolating. Either way, it's good we've finally had some proper rain.
RoutemasterFlash
I take it you're either in London or East Anglia to have been hit with 40 C, though, right?

I live in Watford which is just to the north of London.
RoutemasterFlash
Yeah, it's always the SE that gets the hottest.

Oddly, the highest temperature recorded in the UK was last year and it was in Lincolnshire, which is a good 100+ mile NORTH of London

Oh right, I knew it was in the east but I thought it was somewhere in Cambridgeshire.

Well, yeah, you jumped straight to full American. You should have tried a less American place like California first. /s
