  • 90+ is cute. ;) I once lived in an apartment without AC because a roommate and I were trying to get out on our own. I went up there early to start working during the summer, and the city set its record for longest period where it never (even at night) got below 90. I was working for some rich girls with horses, so the days freaking sucked, and the only relief I got was the short showers. I think we usually hit 90 during the day by february. I’ve moved away because screw all that. I can’t imagine what it’s like now as the average temperatures keep climbing.


  • It’s said in the same manner as a mild sarcasm. I’m not sure the word for it, but deliberate understatement that specifically plays on it being hotter than ‘warm’ is.

    As far as 20/68 being chilly, to me it’s downright hellish. During the summer, we would keep the house temps around 85/30, because you’d be so used to the sweat and heat of the sun that it wasn’t too bad with a light fan… and that was in the houses lucky enough to have heating/cooling. The rest just made do with shade and designs that promoted a breeze.

    Anyway, as I said, this is a hot climate’s weather terms. If you were able to keep the room temperature the same as the outside in spring or autumn, you probably aren’t in a hot climate.




  • Listen, I need to introduce you to any hot climate’s weather terms (done in american and rest-of-the-fucking-world-but-liberia units for funsies):

    • >90/32 = hot
    • >28/82 = stifling (if humid) / little warm
    • >78/25 = warm
    • >75/24 = nice out
    • >22/72 = okay
    • >70/21 = cool
    • >68/20 = chilly
    • >60/16 = cold
    • <16/60 = freezing

    You can be very cold and freezing. You can’t be very cold and not freezing. ;)
