Nintendo starting the month with a bang!

Ok? Pretty sure this has nothing to do with the topic. xD

I prefer Spring/Autumn around the 18c is ideal for me, when it starts getting into the high 20's in summer I die.

Oh! Didn't realize that its just about the weather

Sickness makes you cough and sneeze, not cold. And cold doesn't cause sickness.
Sun is stronger in the summer and burns more. You get way faster sunburn in summer than in winter. Also because in winter you can put on clothes to protect from UV, which you can't in summer.
Heat Stroke is a real thing. There is no such thing as a cold stroke.
Let me see you take off more clothes when you're already naked and boiled alive.

Most flats are not built with air conditioning in mind and you cannot just install air conditioning without permission. If I could get air conditioning I would.

The point is, cold is very easily solvable while heat is not and also brings a lot of other problems.

Dunno where you live if it's so hot you're boiling alive. But if you're going for the extremes then at least heat doesn't cause frostbite

Heat can be solved fairly easily as well. Don't do any strenuous activities, poor cold water on yourself, solved! And it's not like cold doesn't bring other problems too, snow and frozen roads can be pretty dangerous!

Sure, that completely drenched body just feels great on my dry couch. What an easy and comfortable way to cool off! Face it, other than expensive air conditioning there is no comfortable way to fight heat. When it's cold I just put on a second layer of clothes and that's it. That way you are always and everywhere warm. Try to have air conditioning wherever you are.

That also happens when I open up VGC but that never stopped me. I never understood the problem with cold weather. I mean sure, it's not pleasant but it's not like you have to endure it for hours. It's a slight inconvenience for a few minutes. It doesn't matter if it's 0° or -40°, cold is cold. 

Lol, it doesn't matter if it's 0 or -40 degrees? Yeah no, it does, quite a lot. 0 degrees is a bit cold, -40 degrees is painful.

Cold does make you cough though. What makes us cough is mucus stuck in our respiration system, and the system that's supposed to deal with the mucus stops working in the cold. Thus forcing us to cough to remove it from the respiration system.

Norway is the country in norway with the highest rates of malignant melanoma, which is the cancer that you get from UV rays. We certainly don't have the hottest summers in norway.

How can you say cold is easlily solvable compared to heat? In the heat all you have to do is to go find a shadow, or maybe a windy area with a lush breeze. Not saying it's easier to deal with than cold, but I think both of them have them problem and none of them are easier to deal with than the other.

I congratulate you for your godly body that can deal with 30° and above with a small breeze. Also your godly powers that let you carry a breeze around with you at all times. No. If it's cold I put on more clothes, that I can carry around with me at all times. It costs nothing and is comfortable. You can even just move around a little to increase body heat production. There is no such thing you can do with heat. So of course it's a lot harder to deal with.

They both suck. The best temperature is the one you don't really notice, so like say.. 22-23C.

Thank you! The secret it actually just using white t-shirts, they make everything a lot easier to deal with! I also must congratulate you on your godly powers that enables you to carry around a heated house at all times, must be amazing!

To deal with the heat you can wear less clothes, thinner clothes, you can drink cold water and you can abstain from "moving around a little to increase body heat production." Now cold water I can get from a tap, hot drinks for wintertime I need to heat myself. Clothes do cost quite a bit where I'm from, a winter jacket costs roughly the same as my monthly housing payment. A tshirt costs fractions of that. Even the best winter jackets does however not make you feel warm in proper cold. Furthermore you're never really in a position in your daily life where you can use pants that are even close to making your feet feel anything less than freezing. I think you are underestimating what real cold is like.

Fuck your summer. It's already at a point where I can't sleep without having a fan blast at me and it's only going to become worse. The only good thing here is that we're another month closer to Winter.

Ha! Don't have this issue, at all. Bedroom towards east and living room towards south. So while the living room is heating up, the bedroom is cooling down. One issue I have is..when the sun is rising....I will go up in flames at 6 am.

You... like winter? How? How is it even possible to like the most cold, wet, depressing, sickness ridden season?

I like Winter too. In the summer heat my brain melts, I can't do anything without sweating, work is horrible because of missing focus and sweating, I can't sleep because of the heat, I have to close windows to keep the heat out.

I do like decent negative temperatures (in Celsius naturally, Fahrenheit is just wrong). I can wear clothes to ward against frost, but not against heat, eating hot soup and drinking hot tea feels so much better if it is cold, my senses are sharp and I can concentrate. Winter is better.
