Yeah, I noticed the temperatures. I've been following it around the country. We're scorching in Florida but then I turn on the news and it's even hotter up north. ****'s crazy.

And I lived in Portland and Seattle and loved the weather. **** sunshine. But when a heat wave hits Portland it sucks.

In Florida it'll be 70 and people bundle up like they're going to a Packers game.

Where in Florida are you? I was just in Fort Lauderdale and Orlando last week and it was disgustingly hot and humid.

Also, people in Florida are obsessed with thinking it has amazing weather despite the blazing heat, daily thunderstorms, and frequent hurricanes. I don't get it.

It's the sunshine state!!! lol

**** that humidity bro. That's 57% old people sweat.

Plus 20% bladder incontinence

12% crack smoke.

2% Rick Scott semen.

Rick Scott's dick snot.

Can you help? I'm in a ****er of a jam.

Yeah it is I guess what you'd call temperate. We seldom get any sort of real heat - an unseasonably warm day in Summer would be maybe 25 degrees C - and you can almost be guaranteed of rain, but if you hate heat and humidity then this is the place to be. Cost of living is high though, and rents are ridiculous, so I'm told, though I'm a council tenant and technically unemployed so mine is very low.

Can you get subsidized housing in livable neighborhoods in Dublin? Most of the projects I've seen in America have pretty decent quarters but the neighbors tend to be unpleasant to say the least. I remember some cities have rent control and I'm not sure who all accepts Section 8.

I really hate heat and humidity. Not really a fan frigid cold either. In Philly, we get both. A really hot summer day might be 38C and a really cold winter night might be -15C.

Y'all go metric up there without tellin us southern folk?

Only when communicating with a metric speaker.

I really wouldn't know. We've been living here in this house for over forty years My mam used to pay the rent, then when she passed on we became responsible for the rent, which was relatively high (about 120 Euro a week I think) until I quit my job and Karen became redundant, when it fell to 50. I know there's a bad problem with homelessness here, so unless you can pay the rent to a landlord or can afford to buy a house, you're on the Council's waiting list, which is pretty long, and you get points for having kids and such which (supposedly) moves you up the list. If you get into a decent council house though, like ours, and you keep up your rent, you're golden.
I'm a human, not a speaker. You can't play music through me. Well, I suppose you could try. Watch where you stick that line-in jack! :yikes:

Not saying this isn't true, but when it's grey 24/7 you get depressed. On the rare occasion it's sunny everything just seems way better and my mood improves loads.

my favourite as well

It's point of view I guess. You could wish to be in a climate where it was sunny all the time, yet those who live in that climate grow to hate it. To quote Genesis: "In the land of shadowless death they pray for thunderclouds and rain, yet to the multitude who stand in the rain, Heaven is where the sun shines. So the grass will be greener till the stems turn to brown."

I would just like some balance to be honest.

Spring - Sunny, a light breeze, occasional rain storm
Summer - Hot, sunny
Autumn - Sunny, cool, bit of rain
Winter - Snow, ice

I'd be OK with that. Not asking for sun every single day.

I guess the trade off might be extreme weather or something. I'm glad we never have extreme weather. We are very lucky that we don't have to worry about that or about dangerous animals.

I understand that some people get depressed by that but I'm not one of them. What wears me down psychologically is when I'm hot and sweaty 24/7.

I remember when it used to be like that. You could actually plan your holidays here and know what the weather would be like. Kids these days, don't know they're born etc etc etc.
That definitely would not be a problem if you lived here.

Me too. As soon as I open the door I'm like **** this **** and then the mosquitoes attack. It takes like 5 seconds, no lie.

It all depends on what kind of sunny to me. I lived California—where it was sunny, dry, and mild every day—and loved it. But I also lived in Florida—where it was sunny and humid and buggy and the sun beat on you like a hammer—and I was miserable.

Weirdos. I'd rather put on a jacket than sweat.

The latter sounds horrible tbh can see what you mean.

And summer lasts like 7 ****ing months

What's winter in Florida like?

I was looking at weather for Phoenix, Arizona a while back when it was hot here and Deej said that signs were melting and planes couldn't take off. Was like 40 degrees every ****ing day. Amazing weather.

Florida is big. I'm up north in country **** **** loserville Georgia Alabama Mississippi but even ****ing worse. We have like 2 days below freezing a year.

^ :laughing:

^ I live in a kind of south Florida climate: winter starts on December 21 - finishes around December 23

you would love canada then.

When the air is so humid that you literally start feeling very mild claustrophobia then you know it's summer in the South. Or Spring.

If there weren't so many of you people there I'd be totally happy living in southern Canada. **** the South.

i have no idea what this means but if you can live with the government being all up in everything you do then Canada is one of the best places in the world to live. but cigs and beer are hella ****ing expensive so be prepared. all part of the big bad gov here.

on the brightside you’re covered when all those cigs and beers finally start with the aftermath

****. That.

Are you kidding? That's my ticket out of this hellhole.

i bet the obesity does the trick way earlier

I never put all my money on one horse.

you could fit all your money on one pug

Yes, I could put my debit card on a pug.

Don't talk about his mother like that.
