Me in Houston right now as CenterPoint Energy fails to restore our power. 1.3 million people still without power and it's like 95 and feels like 105.
- You guys have it bad. I know PGE likes to make us pay for every cent but at least it's mostly stable. GL!
- What's Abbot doing about it?
  
  I think I read he landed in Asia for a vacation or something just the other day. So typical Republican compassion: none.
Enjoy it while you can, it's only going to get hotter in the years to come.
Oh fall as in the season and not destruction of the modern human civilization
Always hate it When Day Breaks.
Except in England, where it is still largely grey and miserable. We are still patiently waiting for summer.
- I'll pray for you guys to get the sweet 40°C for a few days. The time for it is soon. Like last year.
- I'm not in England, but same. As I'm still waiting for the summer, I feel you.
Currently over 110. It's been an interesting year.
Crying in the Swedish rain and 15 degrees Celsius
- There's been a lot of sun so far this summer though. At least up north. Good to have a little rain to stave off the forest fires. 😌👌💧
  
  In Gothenburgian rain, I envy you.
- please can we swap? please, it's been 36C outside for the past two weeks (with maybe a day or two of 24C) in Poland. Leaving the house is just not a good idea survival wise, my flat can barely cool down at night to sleep, i'd kill for 15C and rain right now
Gotta say I love Wisconsin in the summer. 64 right now, high of 80 today.
Winters are long and grey tho. But on the other hand, the only natural disasters we see are tornadoes.
- You should try the pacific northwest. It gets up into the 90s a few days per year. Not really any natural disasters. Floods I suppose, but as long as you don't buy a house in a flood plain (why do people build there?) you'll be fine. No snow, if that's your thing. Just a lot of rain in the fall/spring/winter.
  I'm in Spokane currently and really like the climate, though I'm a weirdo who likes overcoming extreme cold and heat (cold more than heat), and I love the snow, driving in it included. I could honestly take colder and longer winters.
  
  Not really any natural disasters.
  We now have smoke season in the PNW. It gets really bad, and last for like a week or 2. I think since like 2018 we have been getting them. Then again, I live in Seattle, and Spokane is a lot further from the mountains.
- Sounds like Norway, except the tornadoes
- And floods, this year! I was just visiting Oshkosh, the rain is intense.
- Same in Ohio.
  To be honest, I find temperatures in the 80s to be perfectly fine. It's thoe 2-3 weeks of 90+ that suck
You're on the wrong northern hemisphere continent. Europe has been mild AF
- Yeah it's been nice in Northern Europe, NGL. No major heat waves so far. Good old 2000's summer.
Define MFW.
- My face when you don't know what MFW stands for and instead of looking it up asked strangers on lemmy:
