Another reason would be you can’t use heavier blankets in summer
You let your blanket hang off like that?? You monster!
I’m so cold all the time. I think there’s something wrong with me. I’m comfortable in the blazing heat when everyone else is complaining.
My blood pressure and heartrate are always low, so I suspect that may be related.
Yep, I have blood circulation issues (POTS) and I’m perpetually cold unless it’s 25+°C out then I’m thriving.
This is a comfortable temperature range for me as well. It feels physically painful for me to be cold.
Ppl acting like it’s winter or summer when autumn and spring are right there
Here in MN we even get several Springs. I think we got 5 this year.
Spring is the worst fucking season weather wise. It’s perpetually wet and rainy, and the temperature is erratic. In the past 3 weeks it has been 55, 75, then 30, and now we are up to 80 in my part of Ohio. You cant accommodate for it, you cant plan anything outside, and my allergies go absolutely bananas. Summer is consitent, and the fall never really has wild weather changes, just a steady cooling down.
Nah man, rain is beautiful. It sounds amazing, makes everything look amazing, and makes the world look so much more vibrant afterwards.
If it rained two or three times a week until the end of time I’d be the happiest man alive.
Rain is fine, but we have been getting floods and everything was muddy. A light sprinkling is lovely. Thunderstorms are great to sleep through. But heavy rain all week is lousy.
I know I’m weird but that sounds like heaven to me.
Apparently you don’t live in Scotland (west coast at least). Spring may not be warm, but we get some clear dry days, and if you’re in the sun and out of the wind you can feel the heat. By summer it’s so muggy and humid that 15 degrees (Celsius) feels oppressive. I used to live in Australia but the (not-)heat here feels worse.
No, but my mom’s from Newcastle and i have spent a lot if time in Northern England.
And after all the time i having grown up in St. Louis and having spent years in Houston, humidity will never bother me again.
Those only last like 2 weeks around here.
*Cries in tropical weather*
Even when it rains, it can still be over 30 degrees. Life is pain.
Winter is about to arrive down here. It’s dry season, with “cold” (18-22º C) nights and scorching hot (29º+) days. Oh, and there’s a fuckton of heatwaves that might come around, which are totally not caused by excessive pollution and CO2 emission!
I feel you, man. I live by the coast. I’ll be lucky if my neighborhood doesn’t join Atlantis in the next decade.
i love wearing my slutty clothes tho
i see 20 year old gals bare legged in winter and wish i was that courageous with my sluttiness
Tougher than the troops!
I live in Florida, what’s winter?
Summer Enjoyers when they get 8th degree burns on their face after they pass out onto the concrete from heat exhaustion.
Autumn’s really where it is at. Best season.
Autumn lovers >>> all other seasons
It’s my favorite season, except this past year it was rarely ever cool. Winter was better this year. I feel like that’s only going too become more true as we go on.
It’s barely a season though. Summer and winter are months long. Any place that actually gets something akin to autumn anymore, itonly lasts for like a few weeks. If that. There are two seasons: summer and winter. They just have barely discernible transition periods which more often than not amount to a few days of back and forth weather, from nice for a day or two, back to the previous seasons temps, then lurching forward to the next, then back and forth with some median-“season” days mixed in mid swing.
Thanks Shell, Exxon, BP, Koch industries, Lockheed, et al
Yep, they fucked up the planet just to make more money. I’d rather buy an NFT made by an AI than give those people another penny, if I had a choice in the matter
throwback to the almost summer temperatures back in january, and now snow just a week ago in april, i love this timeline.
Sounds like climate change alright!
I would hardly run the AC if the hottest it got in summertime in Oklahoma City was 90°F. But last year, we had several instances where it got up to 100 or 105. And the dew point was 70-75 degrees all summer. So your sweat hardly evaporates. I run my AC all day to keep it 80 degrees and swampy indoors.
I would love to redo my whole house’s HVAC system where one smallish central unit cools the kitchen and living room and each of the bedrooms have their own ductless mini split. This is one way to achieve zoning. There’s no reason to cool the entire house to 65 degrees if I’m about to be asleep in the bedroom for the next 8 hours. There’s no reason to try to keep the whole house cool when I’m about to spend my day in my home office. Just cool the room I’m in and leave the rest alone.
I could also do window units, but for some reason, my wife is vehemently opposed to them. Her parents just put window units in all their bedrooms and one in their living room. They don’t use the central unit anymore. They only cool the room they’re in right now, and their power bills went from $400 to $150 in summer. They paid for themselves in one season.
Closing vents and doors helps.
You shouldn’t. Blocking vents is bad for your blower motor as your constricting the system and putting unwanted wear on the blower motor.
You can do it. But you may end up damaging your hvac system and wearing out some parts much faster then normal.
I have two types of vents:
- floor vents - to send central heat to all the rooms
- Ceiling vents - to send inside air outside
I can’t see any problem with closing one of those types of vent
Again you’re constraining your blower motor by doing so. It’s added wear and tear. It won’t break over night but you will require repairs faster then if you didn’t touch the vents.
Do want you want. It’s your property. But this is similar to someone constantly leaning on their breaks when they are driving.
I think you misread my comment. I wasn’t talking about closing vents attached to a blower
What other vents could you possibly be talking about if not hvac vents?
Vents that they used to put in ceilings in houses in Australia to ensure there was good air exchange between the inside and outside. They vent indoor air to roof space.
They seem to have come from architects who lived in places without winter
Window units are loud AF.
Running a dehumidifier has been the best thing I’ve ever done though. I believe I’m from a more humid environment though.
One of the best things about living inland is having indoor relative humidity over 30% being high
Sorry I don‘t spend enough time sleeping to actually care
man i wish it was summer already
I’m most cozy at an air temp of like 30°C :( It barely ever gets this hot here in Germany
learn to open your doors and windows in the nighttime (with bug nets obviously) and keep them closed during the day, nature’s AC.
That works now, but from June to August the nights aren’t all that much cooler and there is rarely any wind either. Still makes sense, but it feels so futile. I am Sisyphus.
I still like to, if I can, because I don’t want old-breath hotboxing CO^2 brain damage. My mom calls this fresh air.
The nights aren’t very cool in some parts of the world.
I wish bug nets for windows (or at all) were standard in Sweden. In some places in the country you will be bitten by 10 thousand mosquitoes just because you dared to open the window for a minute.
I keep my PC in my bedroom so it’s hard in general to keep the room comfortable but in the winter you can at least open the windows for a few seconds and nearly instantly make the room comfortable (and without insects). In the summer it’s fucking impossible to keep the room cool no matter what you do. At least the PC has good cooling so it survives; I just wish I would.
You can install bug nets yourself easily. There are some from tesa, its the net and a roll of velcro-like tape. I love them.
