gemfyreJust been reading a lot about how it's unusually hot in the U.S. right now.
Well, people say it's "hot". Hot it seems is a slightly chilly 21C. At that temperature I have a jumper on and am getting cold.
Apparently 80F is scorching. Turns out that's a balmy 26C, pretty much ideal operating temperature for me.
Right now here in Australia, we're averaging over 35C (95F) and often we top 38C, which is 100F.
Then again I was talking to a woman from New Zealand who said 18C was perfect weather. By that time I have a heater running. If it gets too much below 16C (61F), I stay in bed under the covers and refuse to go outside.

Date: 2006-12-19 12:16 am (UTC)I like going abroad, but I don't like too much heat and humidity - I hate sweating! Swedish summer is perfect. The air is dry and it's usually around 25 degrees, sometimes up to 30 but that's a bit too warm for us, lol. When it drops below 15, I hide inside. Except when there's snow, I love snow. But we rarely get any here, just a whole lot of rain most of the year :(
