[213/366] hot

[cosmolinguist]

31 If you had to choose one or the other, would you rather live where it’s hot all the time or cold all the time?

Hot. I think I'm the only person I know who has been perfectly happy in today's 32°C/90°F weather. I might not like it to be that hot every day necessarily, but it could be 70/80 every day and I'd be delighted. This summer of April-like weather is really getting me down; we're back to that again tomorrow. But at least, from that high today, it'll be back down to 59°(15°C) tonight, good sleeping weather.

I would pick cold all the time because it's easier to warm up your house and yourself than it is to cool them down.

If I have a house that I can regulate, then cold. But if I'm out in the elements all the time, then hot. 70/80F is very pleasant, but I'd consider that warm, not hot. Anything above 80 is hot for me, and midwest humidity makes it hard to bear. But still, sitting in the shade or in a room with a fan beats feet turning to ice blocks.

Another good reason not to live in Minneapolis.

It has many nice points, but there are definite downsides.

A temperature that hung around 80 all the time would be bearable, if not great. More than that is not great, and if the humidity is matching the temperature, that's not a good idea.

Oh yeah the humidity shouldn't be that high. Yesterday when Andrew was complaining about the air being like soup I checked the humidity and it was only 35%! They're so lucky here, compared to the Minnesota summers I'm used to: no humidity, no bugs!

Ugh, the bug clouds that came to feast on your sweat (and blood) are the worst. As were the days on end of feeling like the rain should be storming any minute now, but it not actually happening.
