Me looking at thunderstorms:

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 hours ago

It's the summers that we don't get thunderstorms that I worry about, because those are the years we end up in extreme droughts and those are far more miserable. As for the heat, people find a reason to bitch about every season. It's too cold. It's too hot. Eew there's bugs. Damned pollen. Fuckin' leaves everywhere. Ice sucks. Bird shit all over. Santa Claus is coming to town, hide your kids and hide your wife.

I love thunderstorms though. They are my favourite weather.

It's pretty clear that I have never been struck by lightning.

Um, excuse me. Thunderstorms are amazing! I'll take a good thunderstorm everyday of the summer over the heat and sun

The problem I have is that my lease requires me to keep the lawn mowed. Between work and thunderstorms keeping the grass wet, it's hard to find a good time to take care of it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Every time there's a thunderstorm, a town or city floods. Infrastructure is not built for the kinds of rain we're seeing now and it used to be so rare it wasn't an issue. Now everyone is scrambling to build water handling systems.

This is not the case everywhere.

They're fine if you don't care about leaving the house.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Is that supposed to be a negative? LOL

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

Well in the event that you have to leave the house at specific times, which I do, I'd say yes it is a negative. Having fun outside with friends or family like going on hikes, swimming in a lake, picnics and such are also significantly less safe during thiunderstorms and yes, I enjoy those activities so it is a negative for me.

My probtis i love in a tiny apartment with two cats. My windows were kept tight to keep on the pitiful amount of cold air from my window unit, but not being able to open the windows at night means my timy apartment starts to smell like cat real fast

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

This post is like one of those find the words puzzles I loved as a child.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Why can't you open the windows?

Edit: Ah wait I just remembered that German tilting windows aren't a thing everywhere

[–] [email protected] 23 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Forest fires and the terrible air quality they cause

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

Bingo. The second one should be wildfires instead of thunderstorms!

Swede here, there has been a lot of posts about a heatwave in Europe, so far the summer here has been very mild, and this is the weather I am seeing in the weather app for my two week summer vacation:

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

Your high is lower than my low 😭

Can you adopt me? I'll sleep in a closet.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I have no idea if 12° in non-freedom units is hot or cold.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

12°C is 53.6°F

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 hours ago

I'm using Swedish VPN so I'm having the same weather :D

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

That's pretty much our middle of the winter temperatures here in Australia right now.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Hehe, just be aware that like the rest of Europe, we mostly don't have AC at home, and our houses are built to keep heat in, so when it does get hot, it is not ideal

[–] [email protected] 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

In the north we are mostly marsh land too so the humidity is peak

[–] [email protected] 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

don't forget the endless mosquitoes!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

And no-see-ums (biting midges) I have such a bad reaction to those pricks

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

I'm German and I've got an AC but I never set it lower than 26°C because that would be reckless 😅

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

That's the dream temperature. Literally 20 degrees less than here.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 12 hours ago

Do not miss growing up in south Texas and having to deal with hot rainstorms.

And hail.

Do not miss hail.

Heat index of 107 and rainy today.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

1996 was probably the last time I said I can't wait for summer. Summer sucks.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 hours ago

We need some kind of international exchange program for people who hate the heat to trade with people who hate the cold. Last winter just about finished me mentally which contributed to losing my job. If I had to live somewhere it was 100F every day I would do it as long as I never have to see snow again.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 14 hours ago

Ironically that was my first summer in this world

[–] [email protected] 13 points 15 hours ago

I loved it in the tropics. 40C day, then right on 4pm, BAM!!! It's 25C, there's an epic lightning show,, 10 mins later it's gone, the roads are steaming, and a nice balmy 28C night kicks off.,

[–] [email protected] 8 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Yes but The Thing is: Mood is still much better because there is plenty light till night.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Oh yeah for sure. My fav season despite everything.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 hours ago

Yeah I find winter outright depressing
