Considering here in Winnipeg, Canada, where it reaches -35C or even colder, it was pretty wild having weeks on end of +30C to even +39C temperatures, and so soon into our summer.

I never want to complain about the heat when we have snow for 7 months, but that was ridiculous.

    Hi Winnipeg. Come join us in !winnipeg@lemmy.ca -- it's in need of an infusion of complaints about the weather ;)

    I think the link to communities needs to be !c/winnipeg@lemmy.ca

    The way yours is written makes causes my app to search for a user instead of a community.

    Edit: Nevermind, that format also didnt work, sorry :(

    I genuinely don't understand, no disrespect intended but why do you remain there? Could you not just move south to a warmer climate? -39c just sounds uninhabitable.

    I will gladly, cheerfully, trade any 39c day for a -39c day. Cold is easily manageable with more / better clothes. Even when dressed for the heat, it still saps your energy like crazy and makes you feel like shit in the process.

    I guess it's down to the environment you grew up in and a bit of personal preference too. I love the cooler months of spring and autumn but both the heat in the summer and the very cold winter make me sluggish, I prefer the heat though over the cold; get the loungers out, some beers, bbq time

    Moving south to a warmer climate usually means either significantly warmer summers or a significantly higher cost of living. Or both.

    Yeah it sucks dealing with extreme cold occasionally and long winters, but it’s a lot better than living in the south where it’s unbearably hot and humid for 8 months of the year. And any place with a temperate climate such as the Pacific coast is prohibitively expensive.
