Hot vs Cold Climates

lol, clearly we're not living in the same climate :D

The "cold" aspect is one I really do not miss. During the summer (in Austin where it gets to 100F regularly), I had to wear a sweatshirt and long pants, and I was still cold.

I’m sure it’s nothing like the south east, but it gets pretty hot, mostly in July and August. Living in a hotter but drier climate now (which is on the whole more comfortable than back in NH), I realize that the humidity played an important part in it feeling hot and uncomfortable. Mid 80s in dry heat is many times more bearable than mid 80s in humid weather, and the same thing goes for the cold too.

I really dont see how these hot climates are any worse than corresponding northern cities. I live in Chicago and we dont leave our house for 5 straight months in the winter and then there are 2 more months where the weather is consistently shit. Is a summer where its consistently over 100 for 3 months worse than the 6 ish months of not going outside that northern cities see?

I think because in most "cold" places the summer still gets pretty hot.

Well, you should really try living here.The thing is, you can really tell the difference when you have to deal with this heat everyday there are some days you just do not feel like going outside. The sun just burns, especially when you get down from your car you can feel your whole face burning up.See the thing is, growing up we never had an A/C in our house, no one complained, once in a while yes it would get hot, but a common table fan would fix the problem.But now, everyday we m

Not really an option in cities with consistent 100+ F degree weather (e.g., Houston).

I'm not saying it's as hot here as it is in Florida. But we've been breaking records left and right up to the point where I've purchased an AC (a crappy mobile one for lack of better options here for rented apartments) because we go through months every summer now where I can barely sleep without one anymore.My point was that people often don't realize how humid it is here. You apparently also can't believe it. And how our buildings are not made to keep heat out,

Only 3 months of the year are very hot, mainly jun, jul, aug. The rest of the year is quite nice. Also, due to low humidity it is much nicer, than say places like Florida, where it isn't just hot, but also extremely humid.

There's beaches, pools, lakes if you really can't be in the heat.Eventually you just get used to it.Cold sucks though, glad I left that lol
