Is this Celsius or Fahrenheit? In Brazil it's late spring now, since it is on the southern hemisphere.

    me happy about the cold winter, happy earth can cool down for a moment

    Am I missing something here or is OP not aware that winter isn't everywhere at the same time, and that tropical regions don't follow these "classical" (for lack of a better term) seasons at all?

    Obviously climate change is bad and all that, but the upper caption makes no sense.

    The comments under this post are a great indicator of how much U.S. defaultism has ruined online conversations. Fucking Fahrenheit weirdos.

    The heat index — a combination of temperature and humidity — hit 58.5 degrees Celsius (137 Fahrenheit) Tuesday morning in Rio, the highest index ever recorded there. Actual temperatures dropped slightly on Wednesday, but were forecast to rise again to 40 degrees Celsius (104 F) on Thursday.

    Yeah, that's Celsius.

    Brazil is so tall it has like 6 different climatic regions. 5 of them are currently a burning oven and the other one is drowning in constant rainstorms and cyclones.

    I was a bit confused before checking the comments and thought that the meme is saying that 60° F is considered too cold for Brazil. I didn't even consider 60° C as a possibility.

    I blame Ryan Gosling.

    Also, it would be late spring in Brazil right now, since it is in the Southern Hemisphere like Australia.

    Late spring in São Paulo is supposed to feel comfortable, at most 30°C and mild rains. We're experiencing summer temperatures of 38°C+ and torrential storms. We're fucked.

    Cold winter? We used to get blizzards in October here, now we barely get any snow at all throughout the entirety of winter, and it's frequently warm enough to be comfortable outside in nothing but a shirt and shorts.

    I swear every single year people forget how actually mild winter has become. It got down to -50F here once years ago thanks to the polar vortex and ever since most everyone starts on how "it's gonna be a really cold winter this year" everytime it drops to the fucking 40-50F range. When you point out they said the same thing last year and it was even milder than when they said it 2 years ago, they often just double down being willfully ignorant and insist last winter was "soooo bad" despite it being warmer on average than Fall was 15 years ago.

    Why would you be hoping for a cold winter in brazil right now? We're nearing summer.

    Our summers aren't supposed to be anywhere near this hot, and it's still spring.
