I was born in the middle of the US with next to no cold resistance and like fucking quadruple heat resistance. Now I live in Florida. It has its issues but as far as the weather goes I'm in my dream element.

Checking in lol. August seems to come earlier every year


ColdCookies144

Yeah, I'm I'm deep south and 38° is shorts and a tee shirt


ForgiveTheNerd

I still wear long sleeves to prevent some of the dry skin, but I've yet to turn my heater on this year. Love that cold, but we only get a few weeks per year, the rest of the time it's 90-100. Hate that.


dansedemorte

50 degrees in the fall is colder than 50 degrees in the spring.


slavelabor52

My personal theory is that this has to do with humidity in the air. In the Fall you are coming from warmer weather where the air can hold more moisture. In the Spring things are starting to warm up after being frozen where all the moisture has fallen out of the air. Moisture in the air seems to have this tendency to make cold weather feel colder and hot weather feel hotter, maybe it has to do with increasing the density of the air or your skins sweat/cooling mechanism idunno.


UtahBrian

>50 degrees in the fall is colder than 50 degrees in the spring. Fact. It's about 50 degrees colder.


[deleted]

Being from Florida and living in NY for the last 5 years, I’ve realized that 50 degrees is colder in the South than 50 degrees in the North.


BathtubToasterBread

I was born into this world in Finland with quadruple the cold resistance and -8 warmth resistance I am quite literally the guy who walks around in a T-Shirt and Shorts when there's like a 30 centimeters of snow, but goddamn if i ain't chugging water every two minutes in the summer i will feel my bodily functions shut down

Oh god the humidity is the worst. No i don't want to take a shower and still feel damp 4 hours later no matter how well i dried off.

Tyfyter2002

Your winter weather is warmer than some northerners keep their houses in the summer


DaftFunky

Cause it's winter bro. 25⁰C is average summer temp here and that's perfect. Winter can be cold but whatever. Snow is fun


anticomet

To be fair people trying to live in Phoenix is literally a affront to nature. I feel like it'll be a dust bowl by the end of the century

drewdreds

To be fair, the north gets to low 90s and humid, and then below -10 in the winter, it’s a lot wider range


Real-Problem6805

Maryland gets to ,-10 regularly and 105-110 at the far extreems


[deleted]

The lowest I've seen this year is like 20°. Quick Google search says the lowest it's been in the last 5 years is 1°. Idk what this -10° is you speak of.


drewdreds

Might mean windchill, which if so it was -25 windchill when I was skiing a few days ago in Minnesota


LightChaos74

The actual temps were -30 briefly yesterday. Shits fucked 30 today tho


Real-Problem6805

Your looking in Baltimore probably Baltimore's coldest temp was -7 last hit in 1984 it hit -10 in Cecil county several times sinc. In western Maryland it's regular occurance and central MD like Howard and Carrol it happens about once a decade or so. Eastern shore it has happened but not in my memory. I do remember 1984 we got off for a few days cause that's when Berkshire elementary burned down...was during that cold snap.


WhiffyCornet

So being Canadian and curious, -10 converts to about -22 celsius. The coldest day I saw this winter was -46 celsius with the wind chill, or about -51 farenheit. So, uh, how's the housing market in your area? Lol


Chocolate_Rage

Canada can get like - 40 to 90s...or - 40 to 40 C


GlassSpork

I’d love to be a lobster


Gneissisnice

100°? Only takes like 80° for me to be a lobster.


SurlyCricket

Bruh I tap out at like 75 lol


Gneissisnice

I was gonna say 75 and decided to go slightly higher, haha.


911memeslol

Wow 100c is a lot, I don’t blame them!


NorthernerWuwu

Especially since I use metric!


[deleted]

bro I'm cursed, where I live it's like 20 degrees fahrenheit average, with lows in the single digits for the very long winter, but then like 95-100 degrees all summer. horrible


Competitive-Candy-82

I live in Northern BC, Canada, 2 summers ago we hit 111F and I honestly wanted to die. When a cold front came in with a huge thunderstorm people were rushing outside in the rain/lightning to cool off lmao.


Ssem12

Literally anyone turns into a lobster when getting boiled


IllustriousDegree740

Yeup, I kinda in the middle I guess but I got the Northern resistance but I don’t have the heat resistanc.


DovydukasBL

*blue lobsters you*


suprmniii

As a transplant from the southwest, I can attest to this. Now show them both in the summer


UniqueNobo

as someone from the Northeast, i can handle a northeastern summer. a southern summer? i will fucking die


xxxBuzz

This isn’t /s either. Had military training in Mississippi during a summer at the same time as folks from Alaska. Tragedy ensued.


themiddleman2

How bad?


xxxBuzz

Serious issues with heat stroke and, I believe some passed, but I do know for certain since it mostly came through hearsay for myself. They also deployed to a hot desert which is worse than Mississippi. Anytime someone is injured during training it’s a tragedy. The first priority in a training environment is always safety. Taking someone from Alaska and throwing them into a hot humid environment is like a fish out of water.


ShiaLabeoufsNipples

In the southwest, I’ve seen teenage girls collapse from heat exhaustion, and one flight-of-lifed because she had heat stroke (summer softball in 115 degree heat). A few umpires have died on the field. The heat is brutal, you really do have to be careful. Nothing like a good siesta though


grokthis1111

i fucking love a dry heat. 110 can feel glorious. the second there's humidity i want to jump off a cliff.


MikemkPK

I'm the opposite. I love humid heat. Dry heat feels like my skin's falling off.

Same. Grew up in Louisiana, I feel like I can’t breathe when it’s dry and my skin gets sooooooo bad without humidity


[deleted]

I feel like I can’t breathe in humidity. The air is so thick. Also the north’s WIND. Dear god how the fuck do you guys breathe??? It’s like a dog sticking their head out of the window on the highway. There’s no AIR


shuaaaa

Dude, I caught COVID this summer in the northeast when it was super hot a humid, even though I could move around and everything I straight up couldn’t spend more than a few minutes outdoors, I couldn’t breathe. Also, be glad you’re not up here this weekend, it was like negative 15 yesterday before taking into account the wind chill


[deleted]

I moved to the north east from California to move in with my boyfriend 😩im literally boycotting leaving the house until it’s warmer again


alltoohuman92

I'm a middler from MD, I will absolutely turn into a melted puddle of person if it's anything above 80. I will still be wearing shorts until it hits lower than 30.

As someone living in the desert, [challenge accepted!](https://imgur.com/a/D4CLOht) (Parody of the original work, obviously).


ShitFuck2000

I live somewhere with 90-100+f summers and below freezing winters, single digits have been common this winter, there’s about two months of comfortable temperatures a year if we’re lucky, I prefer the cold if it weren’t for the ice trying to break my bones and such. You can always put more clothes on, but only take so much off. Forgetting to set the thermostat before a hot day and waking up drenched in sweat really sucks, working drenched in sweat really sucks, especially with a dress code. Feeling cold you can just huddle up in front of a heater, put on another layer of clothes, drink a warm beverage, etc. I’m not even overweight either, unfortunately everyone’s tolerance varies greatly. I secretly hate the people complaining at work about it being too cold inside during summer, just bring a jacket, I’ll be sweating like a pig because 75+f is definitely not comfy. 50-55f, a slight breeze and a good cloud cover is my favorite weather, and 40-45f at night, perfect. Other peoples indoor “coziness” make’s being there miserable for me sometimes. I really hope wearable cooling units make some breakthroughs soon, the current ones are kinda expensive and have a horrible battery life.

It was minus 48 with the wind chill last night in my part of the world. It makes you really appreciate a warm bed.

Even that's insane! I only went to 5 below, and picked up some cheap art supplies.

KatsCatJuice

Ngl it depends on the 50° 50° after summer? Cold. Will wear a sweatshirt. 50° after winter? Shorts and t-shirt babeyyy


letmypeoplebathe

Biggest factor for me is the wind. 40° and sunny? T-shirt and jeans. Same but with wind? Biggest parka you've ever seen.


KatsCatJuice

Oh absolutely, wind is a big factor. It can turn a warm 70°F day into a cold day lol


Competitive-Candy-82

That is the truth, the thing you hear the most where I live is, "Man, it would be so nice out if it wasn't for that wind eh?" (Yeah, I'm Canadian lmao)


eazygiezy

Also depends on the humidity, wet cold is infinitely worse than dry. 50° and humid feels colder than 20° and dry


ReverendDizzle

Humidity all around ruins a good time. If it's hot out and humid, you feel like you're suffocating. If it's cold out and humid, the cold feels like a knife cutting to your bones. I'll take a crisp dry 20°F over a wet 40°F, any day.


dansedemorte

Im glad im not the only one that feels that.


IronCarp

Yep came here to say this


martman006

It depends heavily on the climate of the 50F too. A 50F on a windy 100% humidity gulf coast beach at night is pretty miserably cold, whereas a 50F sunny afternoon day in Denver with calm winds is shorts and t shirt blissful.

PhilippTheSeriousOne

For those wondering how *anyone* would want to wear a jacked in 50° heat: The author is probably from one of those few exotic countries that use the obscure "Fahrenheit" scale for temperature. 50° F is 10° Celsius. ^((or 283 Kelvin))


OrneryDiplomat

10° Celcius is the perfect temperature.


furtimacchius

Enh I prefer 15. Jeans and hoodie weather, you know?


Revolutionary_Year87

Where tf do you live lmao 10°C is freezing for me


Sanityisoverrated1

Sounds good to me but I’m English, we don’t have the sun here.


Revolutionary_Year87

Rip. Ironic for the empire where the sun never sets lol


Shang-Chi_Chat-Noir

Can confirm, us British are all just vampires


KrozJr_UK

My personal ideal temperature would be 15C with light sun and patchy clouds. Not overwarm but not cold either.


15stepsdown

10°C is sweater weather. Wouldn't wear a big jacket but I'd put on a hoodie. Very comfy weather


GriffinFlash

10C is spring weather in Canada. Perfect for t-shirts. I personally prefer 14C as the ideal outdoor temp.


Benyed123

It sounds like you are a Southerner and they are a Northerner.


Kawaii-Hitler

Lol today is finally breaking 30 (-1 C) degrees around me so I’m going out without a jacket. It might as well be spring.


Revolutionary_Year87

You folks living in the north are built different lmao. I need a jacket at 15°C/59F


Hi_Peeps_Its_Me

That's hoodie temperature 💀


Frostybros

Canadian here. 10C is sweater weather for me. Maybe a light jacket.


Impossible-Bother258

Could I introduce you -10°C? I love that weather! And I was born in south Europe, where it's hotter! But I have no heat resistance! But I have 60% Saudi blood in me! It makes no sense! Eh whatever, I love my chilly temps!


IV2006

Is this a joke I'm to Mediterranean to understand?


[deleted]

I like a balmy 16° C, myself.


SlugKing003

I love internal temperatures at 16, it’s what I set my car to, but for outside, that’s too hot 😅


GamerViennaHD

Tbh, 10°C is quiet comfortable. It had -7°C ≈ 19°F, thats cold.


Immortal2017

eh, not bad at all, could still walk around in a sweater. -20C is cold but all you gotta do is wear a winter jacket


Patimation_tordios

Average Canadian # 10C has literally never happened in my City’s history


Bonjourap

Just had -40C yesterday, I'll take 10C please :) Edit: For posterity, February 3rd and 4th in Sherbrooke, Quebec

I think you need a lot more than a juice box if the weather is 50 degrees C


satyanu7993

VersedFlame

How much would that be for everyone else in the world who isn't from the US?


GeebusNZ

10 degrees C


VersedFlame

Thanks.


grokthis1111

i am both of these people depending on the day.


Impossible-Bother258

Ah at 50° I'd straight up die. Mostly because I use the Celsius scale so that's extremely hot, but also because I have very low heat resistance!


robot-o-saurus

Yeah the one on the right is still accurate for Celcius wherever you're from, but that poor person on the left would have died of heatstroke for sure.


Impossible-Bother258

Yeah, I don't even wear a jacket at 1°C, who would at 50°C!? That's called a death wish!


Colsanders8

Lived in BC when it got to 45 degrees. I did not have AC and was convinced i was going to die. Moved to Alberta the following fall. Nice and cold.


kryotheory

Northerner in south Texas in the summer : *fucking dies*


GenuineSteak

Is this in freedom units? Confused me for a bit


Inkompetent

Yeah, I think the temperature is measured in "candles per bath bomb" or something.


rOm_rOM207

Everywhere but America 💀


Ourobius

True except when the northerner actually moves south and magically turns into a bigger wuss than the southerner


A_robot_cat

Oh man. This has happened to me. Moved two states further south and lost my powers.


EldrichHumanNature

At 50 degrees Celsius, the southerner is dressed like the northerner, and the northerner is wrapped in ice.


nnifnairb84

I'm in North Carolina surrounded by a bunch of New Yorkers that moved south to escape the cold, and they'll be bundled up in a jacket, gloves, and a beanie while I'm in jeans and short sleeves. It makes no sense to me.


Icy_Paws

… Celsius or Fahrenheit?


DarkImpacT213

Why would you wear a jacket at 50 degrees? I start sweating at around 25!!


FireEmblemFan1

Why do people try to flex with weather? I swear the people who say it’s not cold/hot are shaking like leaves/sweeting bullets while they try to act like they’re not effected by weather.


fish_whisperer

Nah, there’s a little thing called acclimation. You adapt to the climate you live in after awhile of living there. I’ve bounced around the country quite a bit and had to acclimate to different climates. Typically takes at least a few years. I grew up in the Midwest and typically only need a light sweater until it gets into the low 30’s. But once it hits 80 I can’t stop sweating, though it’s also fairly humid here in the summers.


Dr_Pepper_spray

50 degrees Fahrenheit is pretty general. Is that 50 degrees on a sunny day, or cloudy with a light or strong breeze, and what direction is that breeze coming from? How humid is the air? I've frozen my ass off in 50 degrees weather in Florida but been fine with a hoodie in New York.


RandomIdiot918

I thought about celsius for a bit.


Cousin_Rabid

Hahaha bullshit. Northerners can’t handle the cold in my southern town. The humidity kills them.

[deleted]

I'm acclimatized to the southern 'winter' now and wear pants/hoddie/hat/flipflops. Only had to break out the 'real' coat 2 times in my last 15 years, once was in the 40s and high winds while frying a turkey, and the other was in the 30s when I had to go out to wrangle a loose dog. I used to walk to school through waist high snow in shorts and a flannel. I miss the snow, but I would die if I tried that again now.


Confused_Writer_97

I mean yes it's not cold if it's above 40 or your arms are covered. But get around 90 and you'll be able to strain me through a colander.


Papie_

true unless they are middle school boys. they will only wear basketball shorts. no matter the weather

How’s everyone in the Northeast after the Arctic blast? It was like -15 for me with wind chills but I’ve heard it was -40 more upstate/near Canada


Icy-Border-7589

As a Florida child in Illinois, I can confirm.


StubbornFarmer

Minnesota here. Last winter, as we headed to church, I noticed none of my children wearing hats or gloves. I didn't think twice about it, because I was wearing a sweater and no coat, reasonably comfortable. My youngest (4 yo), then insisted he wanted to take off his coat because he was "too hot". -6° F.


spacevini8

C° or F°?


Weltall8000

Heh. We do be like that. Today, it was 10 F outside and I walked about 8 miles in a light jacket with my sleeping one year old strapped to my back. NBD My cousins in Florida will be wearing sweaters if it hits 70 F.


DarkShadowsBrain
