I think you shoukd write "north europe" 'cause south always has really hot summers (talking +40 celsius)


Psyfreakpt

Yeah i live in south europe and right now is 42º at 6:02 PM


chaos_creator69

Bro in what county do you live?


_Mr_Egg_

In any european country with mediterranean coast that is the average for summer. In spain we reach 45 celsius or more at midday.

We? Hola amigo!


Ezequiel_refachero

Amigoooo!, en Sevilla hacen 40°C promedio en verano


AllstarsNinja

Estoy a vacaciones en Sevilla ahora y... Es calor... MUY CALOR


Daniel_Alfa

*Mucho calor


LJChao3473

Menos mal que vivo en cataluña, que aún está en 35C o por ahí. Si ya me estoy muriendo con esto, no quiero ni saber con 40C


Ezequiel_refachero

Si la verdad, pero lo peor es que son 40° de promedio, hay máximas de 44° y 45°, si te descuidas te derrites, y cuando te metes en el coche y tocas el volante que quema mas que las palabras de una suegra te entran ganas de cagarte en to los muertos del que hizo el Volkswagen en arameo

How are you still alive in that heat?!


jibri_V1

Easy. Dont leave your house (if it has a good A/C and its not a 4th floor of higher. Otherwise, don't leave the pool. Even with that you are pretty screwed up tbh.


Psyfreakpt

I'm half dead


TheButterknif3

It gets that hot here in the states too, at least here in the desert where I live


SexyButStoopid

Or Sevilla with 47° yesterday oomf

Do you really expect Americans to understand, that Europe is not one dot on the map, but actually has different countries and climates?

they ain't understand


FinnderRiegel

How would they, education is so hard to reach these days ;-;


Camalaro

Well, i hope reading this kind of answers maybe they start to get curious about and check it themselves. I try to keep ottimist


godzillalake2458

Yes we do understand, at least some of us.


FinnderRiegel

That's good to hear :)


TheCruelKnight

And also its Celsius


Locko-

Yeah 37C with 77% humidity isnt fun at all


Pollux_E

Me in south east asia dealing with 39° while raining.


Fledthehunter

Thats bs too here in finland we had 43 celsius once


RoviRktkiv

Damn i was just about to say that.


i_am_the_soulman

The heat feels different in these places, 30°C in one country may be way more unbearable than 37°C in another


Sougo2001

That is true. Humidity, wind speed and altitude alter your perception of heat.


i_am_the_soulman

Exactly, just let us complain about boiling to death in peace


[deleted]

In england our houses are brick and mortar, we purposefully built our houses to keep in the heat. If it's 30 degrees outsite it's most likely hotter inside.


i_am_the_soulman

I know that all too well, sat here in my little English hotbox


che2101

Yea it's at least 5 degrees warmer here

I've seen some ceiling fans in houses here (barely any tho), but I've only really seen A/C in commercial buildings


Skavzor

Hello, my name is humidity. I see you never heard of me. I have persian friends in Sweden that can't even go outside at +30 C


Mylastbreathgoing

Yes, it's like the thick leafy forest is jizzing boiling hot water on you 🌳💦 Central Europe have the same problem .

r/BrandNewSentence


Lonewolf953

The best way I can describe it is like this, you ever went into a bathroom after someone just took a really hot shower, and you literally feel the hot air sticking to your skin? it's pretty much like that except that bathroom is your entire house and the outside and you have literally no way of escaping it whatever you do


bkussow

30 C air at 60% RH has the same enthalpy as 49 C air at \~12% RH.


onFilm

Yeah even 20c in Lima, Peru can get fucking horrid with how humid it is. You'll go out with a hoodie and no matter what you do, you'll only get warmer and warmer, even after taking off the hoodie and shirt. Hard to get rid of heat when humidity is at almost 100%, without rain.


Notso_Pure_Michigan

**Laughs in South Florida** It was about 40C with 66% humidity here today


coolishmom

*Waves from Alabama* it's only 27C here right now but we're sweating at a nice 77% humidity 🥵


JesusStarbox

It was a nice cool day, wasn't it?


Loud_Ad_61

tbh i wouldn’t go out in Sweden no matter what weather (this comment was sent by the Danish government).


Bu5ybumbl3

same here in the uk


mop2198

Laughs in Korean (32 C 97% humidity)


It531z

In the UK the temperature itself isn’t that bad. It’s the humidity, absence of air con and the fact that the country isn’t built to deal with heat that gets everyone


the_exile83

Correct. Our homes are literally designed to retain heat for the cold winters so it's like sitting in a greenhouse. Plus, with our humidity at a fairly constant 65% anything over mid 20s Celsius is just horrible.


RootinTootinArthur

I live in Bahrain and our ACs are on 24/7 because its about 40 degree Celsius with 70% humidity


Drakojana

Good insulation isn't just meant to keep the heat in, it's meant to not let it in from the outside as well. The problem might be the lack of blinds in the windows so the air inside won't be heated up by the sun


[deleted]

[удалено]


Britishdirt

It's the same though when those people complain about the cold. Us northern europeans laugh at ttem (texans) for not being able to deal with snow


Anti-charizard

Other states are laughing at Texans, not just other countries (I’m from California)


Zevox144

Who isn't laughing at Texans though?


StillGalaxy99

Really out here gatekeeping the weather


another-Developer

As someone who has lived in Africa and Europe, Imma tell you that humid Air is alot worse than dry air. 35 degrees in Africa is nothing but the same here would fucking choke you


MVBanter

35 degrees in the Sahara is nothing 35 degrees in the congo rainforest is worse than Europe


another-Developer

Most of Africa is dry, that’s why I said that


[deleted]

Could those same countries normalized with super high temperatures handle super low temperatures? Because here in Canada, we are used to seeing -30 - 40 Celsius weather in the winter. If we normalize to that, then it's no wonder many of us see +29 Celsius as super hot.


Anti-charizard

I’m a Californian and I find 60 degrees F (16 degrees C) cold


_sneeqi_

As a Finn 15-20°C is the perfect weather. Not too cold or hot.

As a European I've worn shorts in such temperatures.

Aus gets up in the 40s for summer for sure but Vietnam blew my socks off it felt SO MUCH hotter


[deleted]

tell me you don't know shit about Europe climate without telling me you don't know shit about Europe climate


Il_finto_germano

You're right.


SirRavenBat

As a Midwesterner you're absolutely right. Unless you live in a place that doesn't get summer you can near guarantee that it burns literally everywhere on the face of the planet.


darthtidiot

Just to make a point, the English aren't used to high temperatures. Hell it's almost never this hot here.


Lotr_Queen

That, and our houses are build to hold heat because we’re used to cooler temperatures. It’d actually be a really nice summer if all houses had built in aircon.


V0ltzzz

I live in Scotland and all my clothes are long sleeves and jumpers. I don't even own any shorts.


Pleasurepain09

It's not the heat that gets you, its the humidity


BradleyBurrows

Exactly that’s what makes our summers hotter it’s because of humidity not heat


Bataling_Uncle

"The poor English with 30C" With 80% humidity for no apparent reason


ClumsyKlutz87

Plus our houses aren’t built for high temperatures either. They’re built more to keep heat in. Plus they’re smaller, don’t tend to have AC and pretty densely packed in some areas.


thebestspeler

Who’s laughing at our ac’s now! If I had any money I’d turn mine on!


Nekoma1a

in my country it varries between +30 in summer to -25 in winteritd pretty mild weather but god i hate it why cant it just be around 19degrees year round


oscarlovesme

Lol this is Windsor in Canada too - totally feel you


BombayMix64

I'm so bored of these... Imagine those same desert dwelling people in Canada during winter. It's so boring


HotPotatoWithCheese

It's almost as if we live on different parts of the planet and are built for different environments. Put a Mexican, African or Brazilian in freezing cold temperatures and see how well they do compared to the Scandanavians and Canadians. See? Works both ways.


xXItzyaboiXx

There are no A/C in north Europe and the humidity feels like it’s 10C hotter than it actually is


Imveryunoriginal17

We gatekeeping weather now?


SnackrificedRS

Inversely though, if it was 8⁰c in those countries they'd moan.


Zumbert

Yeah it's almost like people adapt to the situations they find themselves in the most, pretty crazy concept.


Jommy2317

No way you are saying people adapt to the environment they live in? Seems crazy


Casteist_hu

Would prefer that over 40°C


TheShonenShow

Nah bruh I thrive in the cold. I love it.


Zanclean_Flood

As a Brit there is no conceivable format of weather that we are not well versed in moaning about.


[deleted]

8c is literally t shirt weather here in england


BigHead3802

>they'd moan. Moan? Moan of pleasure you mean? Cold is the best!!! If it were up to me my country would be 8° C year-round.


Belluuo

It actually is 10 here where i live in brazil and i'm good. I like it


[deleted]

I would gladly accept that temperature over 47° head melting heat


[deleted]

Well, a better equivalent would be something like -25°C, that's not an abnormally cold winter for Northern Europeans.


Danitron14

you forgot southern europe, we here are at 38º


_Mr_Egg_

In spain we average 40.


shinymiana

same thing in portugal, we're all dying of a heat stroke


Danitron14

Ya ya por eso lo dije jajj xd


[deleted]

And Australia. 38 C feels ok here.


illiten

In North too. We have 38° today in Paris and for all the next ten day western Europe will have this "unusual" heat dome for the third time in 3 month...


TheTabman

Texans when one inch of snow falls: dead within *seconds* Yuropoor when 2.54 centimetre of snow falls:


AlkaliAvocado

Texas really did claim it could secede from the US and then forgot how to deal with 3 snowflakes huh


Oddlard29

Do people not understand we're not used to those conditions over here?


UltraFT

20° or 40° at the end it really depends on the humidity


GuNNzA69

You probably meant to say Northern Europeans, I live in the south of Portugal and we are used to have temperatures above 40C, for example yesterday we had 45C max temperature and anyway, I think even the most Northern countries have temperatures above that in the summer.


ShrekFanOne

Some places are hot but not everywhere. Where I live its 13 degrees at 2pm


StCreg

In uk it’s really humid and we don’t have ac, plus our houses are made of bricks and are designed to keep in heat, it’s so moist and sticky in uk during summer, plus British people can’t tan they just go red


[deleted]

>British people can’t tan they just go red or a wrinkly shitty brown


StCreg

Yeah we literally cook like bacon


Bob-BobBob

In my defence I’m used to 10 degrees Celsius. Yes I’m from Northern Europe


Plyad1

In my city in France it’s 40 degrees C. Wtf you talking about, 29 is what we have during the night


mrehm001

Can't speak for whole of Europe but here in the UK nearly every house is built to keep warm. No homes have AC. And we're in an island so we get the humidity bonus. 29c here isn't the same as 29c over there.


Cheeriodude_number2

Look in our defence its never usually this cold so our homes are designed to trap the heat


Bullinach1nashop

Honestly the heat is different for many reasons. The humidity is always high when it is hot in northern Europe which of course makes it worse, we traditionally aren't used to the heat and as such don't own suitable clothing for the occasion and to top it off our buildings are designed to retain the heat and rarely have AC. I was born in Africa and now live in England and I can tell you that I feel the heat so much more here.


Practical-Influence6

Yh but 29° in the uk is just unnatural


Royal-Masterpiece-82

It's gonna be 41 today here in California. Fairly certain I'm gonna die.

Me in India is thankful that it is just 40°C today :')

It's 45ºC in some parts of Portugal because of forest fires.

nidho_ggr

Also depends on humidity. Found a lot of heat in parts of US I've been to be dry heat. Whereas where I'm based its high humidity, muggy, clammy, generally gross anything north of 20c


foxleigh81

It’s so humid here when it’s that hot though. It’s awful and difficult to breathe in. Not to mention how sweaty it makes you.


[deleted]

meanwhile Portugal is at 45° and literally on fire 🗿


09chickenboy117

Dude. I have never left the netherlands for longer than 15 Days. We Arent made for this Heat. We are made to Walk to the Jumbo that's conveniently placed within 300 meters of home in the storming and freezing rain and still enjoy the good prices while secretly thinking the Albert hein near school/work has cheaper store brand. So back off when we cry about some heat.


Fit_Organization4552

It's not the temp, it's the ass blazing mother f sudden change. We get rain and it's all nice after a bit of a rise then BOOM! You're sweating whilst trying to sleep on the still damp grass because your mattress is too hot but your floor is too cold but you can't breathe because the air is hot and if you put the fan on you wake up feeling like you chain smoked a 60 deck because the air is so dry then the rain comes and it smells delicious on the plants and grass (and more so that you're not using a good 100L of tap water to keep your few garden plants alive whilst the weeds live happily) and you think it's over but no, it hits harder and longer then it's all over and you get a normal 19-23° summer and its lovely.

Australians being left out of all non upside down meme, source: I’m Australian


KingBenjamin97

I really hate the “oh it’s hotter/colder where I live” posts. Like ok go outside and just experience what those other countries are going through, they’re not complaining because they’re sat in air conditioned/heated homes they’re complaining because it’s not normal for their country so their homes aren’t built with those in mind. Example: You could take somebody from Texas drop them in the UK during a heatwave and they’d be bitching about the heat in an hour, it might not be hotter than at home but there is no escape from it and the houses retain heat constantly. Likewise with cold, you could take a UK person and drop them in Texas winter it might not be as cold as home winter but they’re gunna complain when the houses don’t retain heat etc. And that’s all before you even account for humidity.

Bro it's like less then ³⁰ degrees and I'm dying in the uk

ZeenoGT

Astrobwoyz

It’s 45°C in Spain right now xd


zombienekers

it's about deviation from the mean. People of those continents are used to those temperatures, people from North Europe are not. It's like speed and acceleration. You can feel high acceleration, not high speed. if one person is going 150kmh and the other is standing still, it wouldnt feel any different if the vehicle is going at constant speed. same with temperatures. you get acclimated to the high temperatures after a while, even us Europeans.


KORVENT67

Sir the only Europeans who think this is the British, the rest of Europe has been experiencing +40°C hot for like 2 decades

duck-duck-moose--

Europe isn't one country. Sure, I'm in the UK and I can't deal with heat like that, but people in other countries in Europe could. They probably couldn't deal with 8°C weather all the time, but I could (and do) because I'm used to it.


[deleted]

People climatise to their environment. 10c is a pretty mild day for me but my Maltese friend who moved here recently wears layers. Meanwhile my British friend moved to Australia years ago and now enjoys the heat like they do. It's all about adaptation.


Bi9_Un1T

Doesn’t matter where you’re from and your county’s climate, if it changes by just a few degrees a lot of health problems will branch out from it. A lot of people think if they live in Africa they’ll be ok if the temp rises by 5^o C, they won’t be. This is known as *thermal stress*.


LasagnaToes

Allow me to introduce you to summer in the American southeast. It’s not hot hot (though it did reach 102 the other day) but the humidity makes it feel like you’re breathing through a wet t shirt

Before people start saying "at least it's a dry heat", lemme just say this: humid and dry heats may be different, but in no way is one better than the other. Whichever one someone may be more willing to deal with is a personal preference, cause they both suck.

[deleted]

The problem is indeed more the humidity. Its like being in a hot moist swamp day and night. ​ I live in an old house, so as others mentioned, the warmth is retained. 30c outside, means 30+ inside.. at Night with no way to vent that out. Ive tried in desperation to open the outside doors during the night, but that wasn’t the smartest idea. I could get an AC but not even sure the electricity (the wires I mean - all non earthed?) handle it. ​ All I can do is close all the windows on the Sunny side, open the back door and windows and sort of vice versa or just leave them all closed till sunset.
