Ours are usually like that but this year it’s been more in the mid-to-high 80’s which isnt fun but isnt murder either. LOTS of thunderstorms this year though. Flooding and trees going down every week
They’re prob one of those people who refuses to get a good coat. Classic Southerner behavior, tbh. We hardly ever have a true need for good winter clothes down here, so most people don’t know how to layer properly to stay warm, so they think people living in colder climates are just freezing all the time. Because of barely having any inclimate winter weather, too, we don’t invest in much infrastructure to keep our streets clear of ice/snow, so the roads are always terrible after snow storms. People generally won’t shovel their walkways, either (even people who usually carefully tend their yards in other seasons!)
This leads to most people having a skewed perception of winter around here lmao
Not exactly. I live in a region with 4 seasons, hot summers and cold winters, yet when I go on vacation anywhere with 100°F/35°C and +80% humidity it just doesn’t get to me. I can walk for hours in that heat without collapsing. My only problem is that I love sleeping cold, like 40°F/10°C cold bedroom.
I mean where I’m from we do tend to just stay home for the 18 hours of snow on the ground we get a year, because it’s way cheaper than keeping snow plows from rusting 364.3 days out of the year.
I’m not saying it doesn’t make sense monetarily, I’m saying it leads to an altered perception by people who don’t think too hard about it in regards to how other regions live during winter

Like that here too. I hate feeling like I just stepped out of a shower any time I walk out my front door.
I live in similar conditions with dew points over 65° constantly and have to work in an open air factory.
Summer can go to hell… It’s already hot there so it will be fine.
“Rains every afternoon” Florida? I spent a year there and it was like clockwork lol

I’ve also seen at least one European refer to most of North America and our summer temperatures “uninhabitable.”
Honestly, looking at our forecast predicting a 104 degree week ahead (and this year has been mild so far, lol), I’d agree
Absolutely deranged
Come on down to the Carolinas, you’ll get sick of back sweat rolling down your legs inside a week.
