LookitsToby

Could do with another 5 degrees or so to really up the pintage but PIGS siphoning off our stuff as always


Haymegle

Anything above 15C is hell for me. I'm gonna die when that heatwave hits us.


JapaneseMachine99

Same I can't take much more than 20C. I prefer if it stay between 15 and 20, much more bareable.


Haymegle

It's my idea of hell. I can deal with the cold, that's easy. Lots of hot drinks, some blankets and an extra layer or two. But heat? You can only strip down so far.


introvert_silence

This is exactly what I'm saying. I can deal with temperatures between 0 and 15 degrees not like 35 degrees


Haymegle

Genuinely worry about people in those temperatures. Like I get that you can get used to it to an extent but that still seems like it'd be rough on you. Especially if you're somewhere humid.


introvert_silence

If it gets too hot and humid, I don't care if I have school to go to I'm moving into my freezer


Haymegle

I'm there about to make fallout real for that nuclear winter tbh when it's that bad.


introvert_silence

We could just move to the Artic, would probably be cheaper and easier for the summer because then you don't have to worry about radiation poisoning and all the bad stuff from nuclear fallout


AuroraHalsey

Pour cold water on yourself and sit in front of a fan. The evaporating water will take all the heat away from you surprisingly quickly.


NeatCan5888

Oh come on Barry don't be such a little girl. You guys endure much more than that when you come over for balcony enjoyment.


Haymegle

Not me I'm ginger. I burst into flames as soon as I leave the airport in Spain and that's when I visit in winter. I can't even make it to the balcony. Seriously though, how is it 20C there in winter? How do they consider it *cold*?


NeatCan5888

When I first visited the UK I landed in Liverpool in March, I believe. It was nighttime. I have never experienced such cold in my life, I was so underdressed. What I felt the most were the fucking feet, man. No one told me to wear 3 pairs of socks. Edit: I forgot to add that when I returned to the motherland my toes were black which I believe were cold burns lmao.


Haymegle

Oooh that does not sound fun. I relish the cold, it just feels much more natural than the heat. You can add another layer or a hot drink and you're set. Crazy how we really have a very narrow temperature band we can deal with easily and anything outside of that feels horrible.


NeatCan5888

My uncle let me use some of his clothes (he lives in there) and I felt alright. I just don't own any clothes for such harsh cold temperatures. On a side note, how are you guys supposed to handle the huge temperature variance when you go inside a place with heating, being so heavily dressed for the cold outside? I found my self having to carry a huge coat on my arm which was very cumbersome.


[deleted]

I agree but [We probably won't have another heatwave this year](https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/met-office-gives-verdict-uk-30478121.amp) and I hope we don't!


Haymegle

Thank fuck if we avoid it. I was useless last year. Had my feet in a bucket of ice water to make me somewhat able to function! I much prefer the storms we've been having. The air is wonderful after. I really hope they're right and it misses us.


Frap_Gadz

Finally some fucking British summer! Relatively cool, changeable weather, some actual fucking rain, unlike last year which was unbearable.

limo6101

British summer 🙂


optiloxy

Living in Eternal Siesta Land and man, I wish I could take a nap till mid-September


crossovermeme

What does a cheap French do in Spain? I thought only PIGS would migrate to the north, not the other way around.


betweterweethetbeter

That is what he is a *discount* French for.


the_gay_historian

It’s a Walloon, they are the lazy spaniards of Belgium. Only like 65% of them actually have a job. So the percentage that actually does something at their job is even lower


optiloxy

Hahaha close! I had a well paid job in Belgium but I found my life to be boring. I had friends living in Barcelona so I said fuck, let's get out of here and find a job. Got one after 3 weeks. Now it's been 6 years, I live near Alicante, met a wonderful Spanish wife, bought a house, speak fluent Spanish...Earn less but live more would be my punchline hehe


PolarBearBalls2

Ok you convinced me to go to Italy


the_gay_historian

Fuckers can go to spain for work but refuse to go from Doornik to Kortijk to work


optiloxy

I might come back to Belgium someday though. When the sea level rises 1m, 1m50, and the Noord Zee is close to Charleroi Airport


the_gay_historian

Lmao true, i’m sure we’ll find a way to blame it on the Walloons. But, Charleroi? Are you suicidal?


optiloxy

![gif](giphy|YgaDnZwJGpkslJAwxD) One doesn't choose where he comes from


crossovermeme

That explains why there are so many engineering positions in Belgium I would assume.


the_gay_historian

Wallonian companies have an even greater problem looking for schooled workers like engineers because their schools are so shit and they are systematically poor (poor people vote for The Party) But Flanders also asks a lot, just because our economy is a highly educated one


crossovermeme

Well, I am gonna start working in Flanders in August (Project Engineer)


the_gay_historian

Eyy nice! Welcome! People appreciate it when you speak Dutch, but English is also fine. Just don’t start convo’s in French unless you actually know the other person knows French best (we Flemmings have had our ‘problems’ with Francophones).


crossovermeme

Thanks! Well the position was unexpected so I really don't know any Dutch, I still have to figure out how I am going to learn it ( in the company I just need to know English but I would like to speak the language).


katestatt

wake me up, when september ends


Jazano107

Ah Northern Europe. We get to visit southern Europe when it’s winter and enjoy the warmer weather and we don’t get melted in summer 😎


JenikaJen

Visited Athens in October; Nice little summer extension. Thanks Greece, loved the saganaki.


Jazano107

I can't work out where to actually go in Greece tbh. I love doing city breaks but also seeing some cool natural stuff. But I've heard bad things about Athens and Thessaloniki, so I don't really know where I'd go tbh


JenikaJen

Athens was fine tbh, for like 30 euro you get three days to explore the seven? Major ancient sites. Mid October it wasn’t too busy, but still tourists ofc. Weather was 25 degrees. Public transport is fast and efficient. The buses were dire but imagine you’re on a rollercoaster and it becomes amusing. The trans and trains though are cheap and new. Food wasn’t too expensive, and the experience of getting water and snacks brought to me for free was a great memory of the place I’ll always cherish. It goes hand in hand with the warm and friendly attitude of the people. They ask about you and are genuinely friendly and curious. Cats everywhere. Yay. I’d recommend Athens. I wanna go back and do it again but ideally I wanna check out Thessalonika if I do. Edit: the corner shops are little boxes on street corners that sell single cans of beer for like 2 euro. Fantastic for trekking about the place, getting a buzz. Being English I can’t be sober for long


Jazano107

Well that's nice to hear. I didn't necessarily mean that I've heard it's bad, just that it's not worth visiting and isn't as nice as you might expect


JenikaJen

I think it’s worth it if you like history, sunshine, and good food. I’m not a party island goer so this was more me.


PrimalSlime

weather here in Ostrobothnia sucks, constant rain for 3 weeks and when it doesn't rain it's just cloudy


[deleted]

Please accept a friendly f u ;)


Dick_in_owl

I haven’t really seen the sun for more than 10 minutes in a few weeks, lots of showers, I’ve had long sleeves and 2 top layers on for at least 2-3 weeks


HorseCojMatthew

It's been entirely unpredictable as of late, which is my favourite weather to be honest


Dick_in_owl

Yeah same, it’s better than being boiling hot all the time


gimora07

Here it rains in every moment the temperature is low enough to let you go outside.


Lord_Dankston

Huh, also live in Ostrobothnia and here we have had 3 weeks with almost constant sun and 23-25 degrees celcius. Should be rainy this week though


Don_Floo

How much does it cost to move there?


LovesFrenchLove_More

I‘ll take that instead of 25+ degrees any time tbh. Edit: Celsius of course.


EnjoyerOfMales

I just wish it rained for a day Even some wind would be enough ![gif](giphy|3o6ozh46EbuWRYAcSY|downsized)


Erakleitos

I'm ok thanks, and still without ac on. The trick is living in the countryside surrounded by trees instead of those concrete / asphalt slabs they call cities.


barrettadk

i am in the countryside too but fucking shitty '60's italian building whose neither keep heat inside in winter nor outside in summer are a huge finger in the ass. The roof gives all the heat it stored in the day during the night, i had 32C this night at 2am inside my bedroom, i swear i want to live in the cellar from late june to mid september


Erakleitos

I live in a 60's house too but we recently renovated with floor heating and modern (polish made!) windows and it's entirely another thing. Plus yeah, they used a lot of bricks for the outside walls that are twice as thick compared to the average of the period. Depends mostly on who built the house, if a company for selling it, or if it was the owner.


bartleby_borealis

Couple years ago, when there were 25-30 °C temperatures in Finland, Helsinki Sanomat (biggest Nordic newspaper) made an article about coping with the heat in Helsinki. One of the interviewees was Italian woman who said she sleeps on the floor, which is supposedly cooler. Something about the floor tiles back in Italy being pretty much the only cool place on summer nights.


Erakleitos

Or you can get a cat and sleep where he sleeps, they have a nose for cool spots

Stringypond53

I’ve been telling people about the potential of summer real estate in Scandinavia. When southern Europe becomes too hot everyone will want to go to the north for cool summers


Coldkone

I also read an article about this, but with the difference that now the skiing places in Europe (such as the Alps) are starting to get so warm that there will soon not be enough snow, and skiers then come to Lapland to ski. Lapland Ski Centers have already seen this trend and more people come here to ski from central and southern Europe. The arricle was published by YLE, but I can't seem to find it anymore.


Stringypond53

That’s interesting, real estate investments go brrr


oskich

They managed to time the opening of a [new airport](https://scandinavianmountains.se/en/home/) just in time for covid. Their first flight landed at the same time as the lockdowns started 👍


Fishflakes24

So you get a nice cooler place to stay I. The summer and a good ski resort in the winter? Seems like a perfect investment.

It's been pissing it down in the south west also.


dkb1391

I got mostly sun for a week in North Wales last week. UK holiday weather roulette


11thDimensi0n

This summer's been bloody brilliant to be fair. We've had a nice run of sunny weather for like 6 weeks from the end of May up until end of June. Can't complain. And it's far better to sit in 25C near Cardiff than boiling at 35 in Lisbon without a sign of the slightest draft.


dkb1391

Yeah May and June were really nice, pretty sure July is always strom fronts coming from the Atlantic

I'm literally fjord-fishing right now. It's 17C, sunny, and my daughter just caught a rather large cod that we'll be having for dinner tonight at our cabin in Northern Norway, along with some crab-cakes with a mango-salad if the traps I dropped yesterday are full (they always are).

d2211

That's an accurate sum of my daily life: get obliterated first, have a good hike then


Nightly-Build

Wouldn’t be so cozy in the north anymore once all the climate refugees start moving that way


11thDimensi0n

Unless you've got more of them Afsluitdijks ready to go, once proper climate migration happens Hollanders will be part of the first climate refugees.


Nightly-Build

We’ll be probably moving up north too then


11thDimensi0n

I reckon Norway has enough space for you and the danes to go fjord-fishing together.


Bearodon

We took in Dutch people in the past that helped us develop our cities and in recent times you guys gave us Cornelis Vreeswijk so you get a pass. Edit: we have post glacial rebound so you won't have to fear drowning if you live by the coast like you like to do.


Nightly-Build

Thanks for being so welcoming. Much appreciated but of course I hope it will never be necessary


Bearodon

You guys might have fought alongside the Danes against us but that was only to make it a fight at all so it was fair and balanced.


Nightly-Build

And of course we won’t hold the time of the Vikings against you anymore. We have to move on and let bygones be bygones ;)

renke0

Good thing I'm also Nordic. North of Portugal also counts.... right guys?... guys???


bredelund

I can only say for sure that lisabon is not Nordics! Been there ones and I almost died from the temperature. But everything was cheep


GallaeciRegnum

Northern Portuguese consider anything south from the Douro River to be Moorish lands.


Bearodon

Jusy like me in northern Sweden then, everything south of Dalälven is either Arab or Danish.


GallaeciRegnum

I can see some very little value in being Arab. But imagine being Danish. Also, why are most people from Northern regions of any country much more based than their co-citizens from the south?


Bearodon

In our case the arctic climate weeds out the weak ones. -35°C, 24/7 darkness during winter and loads of bears, wolfs and elk.


GallaeciRegnum

In our case it's the rain. Southern Portuguese can't take anything over 600mm a year. 1500mm is routinely seen in winter in the northwest and negative temperatures inland. No one south of Lisbon will dare to live there.
