And that's one of the warmer parts, being so far south, right?
Yeah, it's a bit warmer than the rest of the country, although it apparently gets more rain. And it doesn't get as warm in the summer as the southeast, for example, although the winters are milder. It was basically somewhere between 45 and 65F (7.2 and 18.3C) the entire time I was there (October-June). I like it a good bit warmer than that, thanks, although I enjoyed not having any snow at all the entire year. :)
I grew up in the frigid north, and that's where you see the really terrifying denial. You are cold. Yes you are. Look, your skin is blue. No, really.
Meep. I was in Stirling in Scotland in June--late June--and I was wearing a coat, scarf, gloves, and hat. I had a small "WTF, it's June, I'm not wearing all this!" moment, but then quickly came to my senses. I can see how years of that kind of weather would make one a bit loony with denial...
Heh. Excuse me while I find out how much 80F is
Sorry. I usually convert when talking to more metrically-inclined folks, but I was lazy. *g*
Twenty-six degrees. Yes, it doesn't get much hotter than that - yesterday was twenty-four, and it's got cooler again today.
I remember a couple summers ago hearing about the "record-breaking heat wave" that shut down trains and such for a while...and it was 86F/29-ishC. I practically fell of my chair with the laughing. Please don't hate me.
I could not cope with anything higher. I'd just lie on the grass with my tongue hanging out. *g*
Hee! This is why we all have air conditioning down here, and don't go outside during the summer. (Well, that and the bugs that will suck out every bit of your blood, but whatever.)
