    I quite like the climate here in the Netherlands. Could do with some colder winters though because ice skating on natural ice is becoming more and more rare. The Dutch weather gives us something to bitch an moan about, but relatively speaking it’s very mild. No deadly heat or cold, no tornadoes or hurricanes. Though I think I prefer the “old” climate a bit more than what it’s changing into. The hotter summer days and milder winters are not ideal

      25 AVERAGE?! So like 15 at night and 35 during the day is considered not “heat” where you’re from?!

    Cold. Always between -20 and +10C, probably. Of course, you can’t grow food very well in such a place…

    At -30 doing basic outdoor tasks gets a bit more complicated, but if it’s still I’d prefer it to +30 even so. I haven’t experienced anything below -40.

    Edit: So many fellow cryophiles in this thread, wow.

    For personal physical comfort? Between 23-30 (75-85) with plenty of rain & humidity, not dry air. Am ok with hotter as long as it’s not too dry.

    For the world? Well down here before the warming the summers topped around the same they do now, just fewer days of it, so almost 37C, with daily afternoon thunderstorms, and winters were longer (not long, but longer) and likely to have a few days below freezing most years, so I guess for emotional comfort I’d take that, thanks.

      The avg. relative humidity here is 73% and avg. temperature 29C (84F). Summers (rainy season) do suck, but in the winter, when it’s cooler and dryer, that’s pretty pleasant. It’s too bad the winter months are smog months. So enjoying the outdoors has become a real exercise.

      I do hate wearing lots of (or layers of) clothes, so anything cold or where there’s non-stop rain for weeks isn’t really an option.

    Cold. 65F (19C) should be a once in an absolutely never heatwave. Average annual temperatures should be closer to 0F than 0C. Fuck the heat, fuck the Summer, and fuck that stupid ball of plasma it rode in on.

    Bring back snowball earth.

      Me, a Brit, in the north, currently experiencing our version of 19°C:

      I was in Berlin last month during the heatwave. In comparison, 35°C in Berlin is much more tolerable than 24°C in the UK.

        I was in Leipzig at -1° in snow, and you could still walk around in a t-shirt.

        UK is deceptively humid, and it both chills and soaks you to the bone

    Temperate climate, specifically warm-summer Mediterranean (Csb) or Oceanic (Do). Cool, wet winters and relatively dry, warm summers.

      My life has been a series of moving to cooler and cooler climates and so far I have yet to regret a move. That said, cooler climates in Australia so maybe I just haven’t witnessed true winter yet
