Thread: What an April

This seemed like a good place for a quote.

“Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.”-Charles Dudley Warner

When it comes to weather it is all about what you have become acclimatised to. Today it was about 50 F and I was out in a T Shirt because it felt warm after the winter we just had. By next fall when it hits 50 F it will feel cold after the heat of summer. You simply can't win.

Amen to that.

In addendum to that, we moved here from Atlanta when I was almost 9. It was June and that year the heat almost killed me. The heat was so heavy and so oppressive it was murder. Part of it was the latitude (I can even tell the difference between here and Tampa 2 hours southwest) but part of it was the altitude. We went from 1100 feet to 75 feet. After the first year though I got used to it and it was not as bad. Then fresh out of high school I went to LA for about a year. When I came back it was spring time so probably late February- early March. That summer also the summer almost killed me.

This cycle has repeated a couple of times and it is always the same thing with getting used to the heat. I imagine that moving away from the cold and then back it would be the same thing.

It is truly amazing what we are able to acclimate to.

This is why i spend so much time in my local pub. 22° and comfy all year round

When the temp moves into 3 digits I don't care what you be used to. Hot as blazes is just that.

Would you like a little humidity to go with that 3 digit heat?

Our furnace is running set at 64f here in southeastern Wisconsin
Latest I have ever run the heat, even in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Not that we are known for hot weather in the UK it does get up to 80c and even has on the rare occasion it can hit 100c, having said that the worst thing about hot weather in Wales is high humidity levels, I don't really do hot weather myself, 65c with a light breeze suits me just fine.

Same happening here Dave. It has been an abnormally long heating season.

Yes, high humidity is hard to take when temperatures are high and it also makes very cold temperatures chilling to the bone too.
