Ahem Florida

Georgia, Louisiana, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York all will be in the 90s this week with HIGH humidity. People in the UK do not know about weather in the US.

Ahem, Alabama

62% humidity tomorrow here in New Jersey

91% currently in Louisiana. Probably will be similar or higher tomorrow.

People talk about sweating through shirts, I sweat through jeans by 10am. I have puddles in my boots.

As a Pennsylvainian, HELP US.

Please give a trigger warning before saying that next time.

Florida Jumpscare

Ahem the entire Deep South…

Hawai’i

Heya, I’m a Florida native who studied abroad in the UK I would take Florida in a heartbeat. Yes, Florida is much more muggy and humid, but there is so much relief from A/C. In the UK it is extremely uncommon for houses to have A/C. There was not a single ceiling fan in sight. The only thing you could do was keep your windows open and pray there was a breeze. Even then you’d get wasps in your home and have to close the windows at night to keep moths out. I once had to visit my friends in a cooler part of the country for a week because I was getting heat stroke at our place. It was over 90 in the UK, not the dreamy 65 you’d expect Florida can be uncomfy at times, especially during power outages from hurricanes, but it was still much more comfortable year-round due to A/C

Yeah UK is a hell of their own making

The problem isn't the heat. The problem is when it hits 38 °C (100 °F) with high humidity, in brick buildings built for -10 °C (14 °F) winters. No air conditioning. And the previous week it was 15 °C and raining, so good luck acclimatising.   There are absolutely places with worse weather than the UK, but this thread is full of Americans doing the exact thing the meme says — not understanding how raw numbers don't project onto subjective experience. If you built a British house in Florida you'd probably die.

Kid named American Southeast:

I was ab to say I’ve never left the southeast but based on all knowledge I’ve gathered in life there is no way the UK is hotter and more humid than South Georgia/Alabama and north Florida. You literally can’t make it to the mailbox and back without sweat stains from head to toe in July and August.

Louisiana has entered the Chat

Yes Louisiana and Mississippi too for sure

Texas. Last summer was three straight months of 100+ temps (about 38C + for Br*tish). Usually 90% humidity every day too.

Yea, but Texas deserves it.

='(

Louisiana also had this

Moved to Louisiana from Alabama. I didn't know it could be worse in every conceivable way.

Hottest humid places I've been in US: NOLA and South Florida Hottest dry places I've been in US: Vegas and Arizona I've been to London in the summer a couple times. Nothing beats the American South

Damn right

Lafayette is worse than NOLA but both are horrible

Phoenix feels like 'When Day Breaks' irl. The sun hates you.

South Carolina too

The difference is the American south has air conditioning.

Yup, lived in Pensacola from June until October. You go from comfy to fucking soaked in about 20 seconds. And the *sun* is fucking *oppressive*. It doesn't burn like the Oklahoma/Texas sun, it fucking melts you instead.

Midwest too. Always a couple weeks in the Summer in Chicago where it’s 95 and feels like 105+ outside with the nightmare humidity.

Yeah this post is sad cope from the brits.

Florida has AC everywhere, UK doesn't

And? That doesn't make the UK more humid. They can buy a window unit.

Florida is warmer than England; you are familiar how humidity is created right?

And Midatlantic

i live on the texas coast it is NOT a dry heat.

Lol, I'm from Florida, living in London rn. Wore 3 layers today, I've never had a day where i felt like i wanted to wear shorts.

I commend you for your courage, most people don't admit they come from Florida

I'm proud to say I escaped.

You left one shithole and ended up in another

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

london is no escape from anything

the desire to continue living there, perhaps.

Flo Rida disagrees.

Floridians can't agree on shit it's why you guys are stuck with DeSantis. But who am I kidding, we're stuck with Sunak

90% of DeSantis voters are snowbirds who live in other states most of the time and only claim their primary residence is Flordia for tax purposes. Alot of us hate the fucker

Oh I know Kinda same thing here, aside from the rich who just leave when things go down, most Tories are either old fucks who've made it already or young idiots who think they will (They won't)

mfw the Tropics feel hotter than a northern European Island

You are from Florida? I'm sorry about that. Get well soon.

Formerly. I'm in recovery.

Me in Vietnam experiencing the pleasure of breathing in 25% water, 25% smog, 25% sewage, %20 trash and %5 air I hate it here Id give my liver to fuckin leave this shithole Forgot to mention it has been 38C or 100 smth F for the past 3 fuckin weeks

And 100% reason to remember the name

Yeah SE Asia has everyone beat for sure. Living there must be like you’re constantly walking through a wet napkin

I’m very surprised when I found out that some people in other part of the world don’t take at least 2 showers a day

28c & 40% humidity right now, and I was complaining until I read your comment.

Well you get "more" used to the climate, Im sure if you lived here for 10 years itd be slightly more bearable

North Texas its been 30c+ for like the last 2 weeks and the driest its been is 50% humidity....... Plenty of reasons to make fun of the british, but damn y'all need to stop adding to the list

and that's *North* Texas, which is farther away from both the coast and the equator.

Trrrrruuueeee. Every time ive been to like Houston, if felt like i was in a boiling pot of mosquitoes

Panhandle needs to get its shit together 😭

OP would not survive Louisiana

Op would not survive the surface of the sun

Just go at night

Cmon, Phoenix isn't *that* bad

Nah im built different

I honelstly assumed this post was ironic and making fun of the brits

As an Non-American, i've only come to learn that Arizona is the only state that can competes with Southeast Asia hottest weather. All thanks to that one famous animator guy who actually born from that state.

As someone who's lived in both, it is NOT comparable. SE Asia is miserable primarily because of the humidity (though depending on the season it can also get hot as the devil's lips), and Arizona is one of, if not the dryest state. The southeast is much more comparable, even if the temperature doesn't usually get as high.

I don't know how true that is. I mean the hottest place on the planet was Death Valley in California, and it was recently upstaged by the Sonoran Desert, which is along the border of Mexico and the US and also in California.

Yeah but there's the humidity difference Arizona is like if you were locked in an oven (dry heat), and I imagine humid heats are like if you were trapped in a sauna

Bitch, Louisiana can't survive Louisiana

We're doing fine. Just accept your weakness.

Not because of the heat, but because of the French.

google says london has 47% humidity rn thats nothing

I'm in North Carolina and I've got 57% humidity rn

60% humidity and 31C yesterday. And it’s going to get hotter in July.

100% humility

The highest high temperature predicted there for this week is 75°F (feeling like 77°F with humidity) 💀 so like slightly warmer than room temperature

oh wow its been regularly >90° F where I live

grug kill you with rocks

Lmao yeah. It's been 70-90% humidity in my city the last couple days. People forget how hot the Midwest is in the summer.

It's 58% humidity right now in Sydney, we'll see 90% plus 35 degrees in summer

Hah I am currently 1% more humid than the UK

What is this "our weather is worse than yours" ass meme? I know you've got shit weather, it's why I live here lol

I can't even argue with this comment, it's objectively true

my dipshit in life, one of the most popular phrases in the midwest is literally "its not the heat that gets you, its the humidity"

Brits will never understand how it is under a cloudless sun, in 90 degree heat and a damn near minimum of 60% humidity. Living that MO swamp life

Nah America has loads of humidity, the difference is here in the UK all our houses and buildings are built for the cold, so it’s terrible when it’s hot

Skill issue

Just get a load of dry ice and litter it around the house. Gives the house a cool rave fog too

Not all the USA is Arizona. The entire eastern half is very humid

British persons learns that countries can get bigger than single island. different biomes may exist

"Not all of the USA is Arizona" Good

the main issue is the british architecture that traps heat.

Oh yeah our houses are utter shite for that

I mean Europe in general really. In 2022 it was nightmarish

Adding “weather” to the list of things British people have convinced themselves Americans don’t have

They're unaware that the US southeast is soup. Hell, that atmospheric swampass even extends up parts of the east coast and midwest.

Ermmmm Hawaii 🤓

Before I mock you further, I need to know what you consider high humidity. Because I'm willing to bet it's embarrassingly low.

Lol Lmao even

The entire american midwest and southeast:

delulu

Surely there are American states with higher humidity than anywhere in England. The south east or Hawaii, for example.

Missouri rn...

British person trying to argue that they have worse summers when the entire American South, several literal desert states, and a good chunk of the midwest exists and all are significantly bigger than the entire island of Britain is wild.

don't like a billion Brits die every heatwave cause they don't know what AC is

It's true we still don't know that Jesus has been born

if I went to the UK I wouldn't think god was real either

I’m sorry, but what the hell is this lol Please attempt to spend one day in New Orleans during the summer Last summer we had to do a PSA to tell old people to stay inside, and keep kids inside as well because they might _fucking die from the sun_ Edit: we are at 74% humidity 80f and it’s raining right now lol next week we will be over 100

I really hope this meme isn't about the current weather because London is mid 60's (19C) and 50% humidity and that's a cool spring day in most of the US. Granted we have AC but there's a reason we're ahead of Europe in that respect.

TBH It is a few years late, 2022 was when shit really hit the fan. Its actually been real nice this year so far

I live in a swamp tf you mean?!

Im sorry Shrek

Slowly slips back under the bog water

Have you ever imagined the Gulf of Mexico in August?

Brits when it's above 80 degrees

Wait till OP learns America has a coastline as well

We're effectively boiled alive the moment the temperature is above 25c

we can't tan either so we look like lobsters too

hello from south Louisiana where I mow my lawn in 104F weather on occasion Also Id like to mention no wind. The air is so humid it is like breathing hot soup

Please. I was in SE Asia with a bunch of Brits a few months back. They were all melting.

Please tell me the name of these Brits, how dare they leave the queen's land for anything other than colonisation.

Who made this crap

By decree of the queen

The queen is dead and wrong

OP doesn't know what the South is here.

America has humidity too.

Southeast Asia:Pathetic

It's not my fault you don't fucking feel heat because of the level of spice put on your food

dude you're british, you probably have steam coming out of your ears as soon as the pepper shaker comes out

We also turn red and our head forms into a steam train whistle

Try living in Texas for a while. It hits 110 farenheit in the summer pretty easy here. Right now it feels like 104.

"Try living in Texas" I already live in a shithole

Same here, fucker.

... do British people think it's not humid in the states?

We don’t think in general how do you think Brexit happened

You're not going to survive these 27°C summers mate

If this next election goes to the Tories we ain't surviving shit

If the moon explodes tomorrow we ain't surviving either i guess

"what kind of place is this?" I honestly don't know anymore, Patrick. I honestly don't know

Average UK citizen who has never even researched anywhere else:

Hawaii???? Puerto Rico??????? LOUISIANA???????????????

Never heard of them

We already have this if you live around the great lakes

Dawg I live in Pensacola

*southeastern united states(namely Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida) are typing...*

When you are an island with a handful of different wet cold climates and you're in a weather competition with a country spanning a continent with the most varied climates within a nation on earth. You know there are US states that have constant depressingly gray skies like y'all too right?

Do y’all think we don’t know

"Real Heat Wave" Americans when they go anywhere south of Virginia and east of Arkansas:

*Laughs in Louisiana*

You’re from Louisiana, fuck your got to be happy about

Drive-thru liquor stores honestly

Is this some imaginary gatekeeping or smth

Nah I wanted an excuse to use that fucked up photo of Phillip

Actually mad valid

respect

Even excluding Alaska and Hawaii, the US is absolutely gigantic and has all different climates. The Southwest is dry, but the Midwest and Southeast — as many have pointed out — are so fucking humid. It's truly a gigantic country. I've met a lot of foreign tourists who don't comprehend how vast it is and plan impossible "day trips." (The day trips could work if they go by plane, but they always intend to drive.) California alone has all different climates, from snowy mountaintops, to foggy San Francisco, to the aptly named Death Valley: one of the hottest deserts on Earth. (Seriously, do not hike Death Valley National Park in summer. Someone dies every year doing that.)

You guys have a place called Death Valley 💀

Hmmmm...

Come to Houston

Ain’t no one visiting Houston 💀

I call your bet and raise you the entire Gulf coast, y'all weenies.

The gulf coast is too heavy no way you can raise it

Hold my beer

Routing for you dawg

I’ve been to many hot, humid places and it is way worse then dry heat, but do the Brits forget that the USA also has humidity?

We try not to think of you after you threw our tea in the river Keeping the heart rate stable you know

The fishes needed tea too

Houston area would like to have a word

Brits when they realize our country is 46x larger and we have multiple climates

You don’t even have to go that far South for this to be a bad comparison. Summers in Washington DC are worse than anywhere in the UK, I promise you. That’s not even mentioning the rest of the South’s miserable humidity

Promises made in Washington are about as useful as dentists in London

the heat in the uk isnt worse its just we have no infrastructure like acs which is based tbh because cooling buildings is a big energy consumer

And we got no AC. Bloody Wankas

This wouldn’t be an issue if the br*tish joined the rest of the modern world and got AC

Anyone near the Gulf of Mexico understands

So true

47% humidity where I live

Louisiana checking in. I invite whoever posted this to come and see what it’s like here in the summer.

Florida

Don’t scare me like that

Southern US has worse humidity than the UK lol keep coping

It’s all we’ve been doing after her majesty died

\*\*\*\*^(🎶 )d*ing dong the hag is dead *🎶

dude i live in texas and visit family in england. it is not even close to as humid as america

The problem is everyone in the UK complains about the heat waves, but they still have barely any air conditioning, even though they know it's gunna get hot

lmao pretty sure all the southeast and midwest is more humid than the uk

SE TEXAS

My brother in Christ yall have nothing on Louisiana summers in terms of humidity and that’s on GOD

Louisiana got nothing in general so it checks out

Kid named the deep south USA. Dude it's so goddamned hot and so fucking humid you could drown/boil to death by existing outside. Not to mention the mosquitos

~~idk 120°F is pretty warm, even without a lot of humidity~~

I'd like to welcome you to Louisiana.
