North German climate from 30 years ago. 4 seasons, each about three month long. Not baking hot in the summer, but still a nice summer. Snow in winter, sometimes frozen lakes. But maybe I’m idolizing the past and it has never been like that here.

Cold*. You can always put on more but once you’re naked, well you’re naked.

*Limits apply.

Nothing above 20C, I can handle -30C with no problems, but anything above 25 is basically unlivable IMO.

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

Below 25C average daily temperature year round. Heat is just miserable.

Snow.

tropic semi-warm, i.e. 26°C and frequent rain

ideally it rains a lot (almost daily) but otherwise the air isn’t moist, sothat it still feels cool

Cool without snow

Cool to cold. Essentially a cold 3-month winter of sub-zero (0℃ to -30℃) temps and lots (1+m) of snow, a short “warm” summer of only 2 months with temps never exceeding 30℃ at the absolute worst, with most highs not exceeding 24℃ and most nights in the 10-15℃ range, bookended by long spring and fall seasons that are cool and moist with daytime highs rarely exceeding 24℃ and nights never dropping below 0℃.

Thanks to a heat exhaustion event when I was 17, I have become increasingly sensitive to heat over the last 35 years.

As an example, whatever comfort you feel at 24℃, I feel that same level of comfort - while wearing the same general clothing - at 14-16℃. Whatever comfort you feel at 30℃ is what I feel at 20-22℃.

So when local temps spike to 35-45℃ during our (much more frequent, hotter, and longer) heatwaves, imagine being forced to exist and do all normal outdoor activities in 60-80℃ temps.

Yes, it really is that f**king bad for me.

And I sweat just as badly at the lower temps as you would at the higher temps. For heat waves, think wet sauna temps at their dangerous extremes. It’s why I shave myself bald for six months out of the year… because I would look like a drowned rat during that time otherwise. And yes, I still have to carry a “sweat towel” with me during that time to avoid looking like I just stepped out of a shower. I have to wipe down my head and face several times an hour even when temps are in the high 20s, and especially when I physically exert myself.

Climate change is going to be a right b**ch to me as it ramps up into overdrive over the next decade.

≤1.5⁰ C total warming.

I’d prefer somewhere under 90F and even more preferably like at most 60F at nights. But mostly not humid. Fuck humidity, that’s the killer. I’d like some heat cause I’d like to continue gardening and some plants I like like the heat.

Overcast and cool. Not a fan of bright sunlight

Kind of humid, and cool (by cool I mean 17–21°C in winter and 20–26°C in summer), without much temperature variation. I don’t know if this climate exists exactly as described, but it would be ideal for me.

Edit: also, somehow, lots of sunlight. I love the sun but hate how warm it gets. Give me an LED sun.

One that’s not warming world wide.

Sustainable and survivable.
