In Morocco, they drink scalding hot green tea, even at the height of summer. It sounds crazy, but drinking something so hot actually does help to make you feel cooler!Matthew94 said:

I'm currently getting rain from tropical storm Beryl, the upshot of which is that it's relatively cool; mid 80's and humid instead of high 80's/low 90's and humid. You can pretty much drink the air here.
As for how I handle the heat: shorts and air conditioning. If I'm outside during the summer, it's usually to read in a hammock or to sit on a dock and fish. People who do anything more strenuous are either construction workers or crazy.

Are you serious? That's comfortable. Anything below 80 is cool. Anything below 75 is downright cold. I have to run the AC in my house just to get it down to 80, and it stays there during the day to save money.Dudeman325 said:

I came to this thread just for the Anchorman quote.
In any case, I've been revising day in, day out for five days straight. Cramming full on. It all comes down to it tomorrow. Knowing my luck, the moment I step out of the exam hall, it's going to start pissing it down.
I love this weather. We Yorkshiremen can resist temperatures of up to 1500 degrees celsius, or as low as -30,000 degrees celsius. More frequently, we must engage in the latter. Which, when combined with sleet, we call "shorts and t-shirts, contact rugby on a muddy field, or tarmac" weather.
Tha' thar's a gert true story.
Exactly. Now, I'm off to wrestle dogs and shoot the Welsh. Ay up, lads!Toby Kitching said:

I live in Dallas in case that wasn't obvious.
what! 38! Don't you know that 32*C is the melting point of an Englishman?Shanicus said:
I had to venture out today (jobhunting yay! none shall escape without at least one copy of my cv) and after 20 minutes my eyes just hurt. It is so bright, off every surface! I had to leave the shelter of my hoody for the first time since August and my arms are turning red as we speak.
Give me cold days and grey skies any day.
I hate it. The heat is somehow sapping my strength. Its just too hot to do anything. My hands are radiating heat. My armpits are lubricated by so much sweat I reckon I could drown a man by putting him in a headlock.
The heat is oppressive. Why can't summer here be like Rome in March? Not too hot, just right. Why does British Weather never get it right?
It's honestly hot enough that I've decided to temporarily adopt the siesta to get me through the height of the day, much better than revising.
You want MORE rain? We had weeks of boring, unpleasant drizzle, I'm tired of it.Pebblig said:
I've been loving this weather, I can't remember the last time I enjoyed the sun here like this.
Of course this may have something to do with my heater being stuck on max all year, so I've been sleeping and staying in a 25+ degree room all year. It's actually cooler in my room now because the radiator's shut off and isn't venting hot air in front of the window.
It's not so much we prefer the cold more, but rather we hate the heat more. We prefer the term thermophobic.Bertylicious said:
This is the only time the country is at the Perfect Temperature apart from a freak 2 weeks in March where a spanish flume sucks all the warm weather from the continent. We should enjoy it for all it is worth.
People who like the cold aren't really people. They're some kind of otherkin.
