[โ€“] 44 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Maybe this is from growing up in a place with seasons, but 30C to 30F is a comfortable temperature range and I would be quite pleased to live in a place where those are the extremes.

    That's not that unusual. In the Midwest it can go from 0f in the winter to 100f in the summer, which is beyond this range anyway. 30c is about 86f which is nice weather to me. I wish we only peaked at 30c. So yeah, 30f to 30c would be just dandy

    Just imagine it. A few days a year where it's cold enough for ice/snow, long enough to enjoy the novelty, and since it's just a few days nobody is prepared for it so society shuts down. Then in the summers sustained highs in the 80s. Heavenly.

    american continent has more temp range than continental europe does.

    except the west coast, which has a more mild climate with a lower temp range.

    climate change is causing europe and the west coast to become see the more varied temps than the rest of the north american typically sees.

    I grew up in the American Midwest. Average Jan low 17F, Average July high 89F (-8C to 31C). Those are averages, with plenty of days well outside that range especially on the cold end. Summer were not too bad. Now I live in hell and it gets over 35C every day for months on end and it's a wet miserable heat.

    30C is normal but slightly annoying, 30F sucks.

    30F isn't even cold. Maybe -30F.

    Oh okay, then 30C isn't even hot. Maybe 50C or 60C.

    The hottest temperature recorded was 56.7C and that was in the US back in 1913. So yeah 50 is hot. 40 is hot. 35 with high humidity is hot. 60 is almost food safe.

    Oh we're pivoting away from personal, subjective opinion and towards objectivity now?

    30F is literally freezing, which is obviously below "cold."

    I don't know, when you're living in Minnesota and it was -40 a couple of weeks ago and it suddenly hits 30F, everyone is in shorts and T-shirts, it feels warm. And if you're in Florida and it hits 30F ever, it feels cold. It's definitely subjective. But it remains true that the US southwest has the record for the hottest weather recorded on earth, so far. That is objective.

    30F is definitely hotter than -40F, there's no argument from me there.

    I also do not dispute your similarly new point of the US southwest having the record for the hottest weather recorded on earth, so far.

    We appear to disagree on other things, though.
