People who claim that the South feels much hotter because of the higher sun angles, and that a 90° solar angle is much stronger than 70°. In reality, solar radiation doesn't get much stronger once solar angles get above 70°—a summer solstice angle that can be found at ~43.5°N/S, thus, being out and about in the U.S. South mostly feels hotter because of the warmer temps, and NOT the higher solar angles.

- When people think latitude is everything. When I told people I found northern Italy colder than London and Paris in winter, they looked dumbfounded.
“But how could that be? Italy’s further south!”
Also I was only in Europe briefly so my experience really depended on the particular weather patterns at the time.
- When they think if a place has warmer/cooler winters than us, their summers must also be warmer/cooler.

How the fuck is that? The less clothes the better. Why do you want thick and heavy clothing affecting your mobility? Wrong again, ignoramus  Less clothing makes you look & feel GAY, so winter clothing (jackets etc) are much better and more comfortable. Anyone who wishes for colder temps just to wear heavier clothing is a weirdo |

Anyone who wishes for colder temps just to wear heavier clothing is a weirdo Strewth!!! This Fagler take is horrible even by his standards. Fuck heavy winter clothing. Even in temps below freezing I don't wear it, as it's uncomfortable and I just choose not to go out at all, because being out in the cold is just depressing and shitty. I just wear hoodies in cool/cold weather, with a raincoat in the case of rain.
Ideally, weather should always be comfortable to be outside in without heavy winter clothing. That means sweatpants and a hoodie/raincoat in winter, and mostly shorts and tshirts in the other seasons (or better yet swimsuits in summer).
Angler's take about less clothing being gay is just also plain wrong. Hotter weather = girls wearing less clothing = hotter girls. There's a reason why girls from Brazil and Spain are hotter than girls from Minnesota and Russia.

People who have an account on Netweather (or some other weather forum) to then spend 90% of their time moaning about any kind of interesting weather that happens. It's a weather forum for weather enthusiasts; of course people are going to be interested in extremes, records and the like. Why are some of these people even on there? Just log out and go away.

When some random dumbass on social media says "our heat is a different heat" or "it's the humidity. The UK is surrounded by water, so has 100% humidity all the time".
No, it doesn't, you fucking idiot. I remember some of the humidity we had in the Middle East, where literally everything was soaking wet, despite there being no rain. If you left any paperwork outside, it would end up ruined because of the humidity! These idiots haven't got a clue what humidity is.

That's actually a smart tweet. Fahrenheit is perfect, especially for temperate climates like Europe and the US Mid-Atlantic Coast. It's pretty easy to convey heat/cold, whereas with Celsius it makes an extreme heatwave just seem like an average winter day (40 degrees, for example). At least for here, the absolute temperature range in an average year is 9F to 97F. So you know, 0F = extreme cold, 100F = very hot, and 50F = cool. Simple as. Fahrenheit >>> Celsius. Humans like perfect 0 to 100 scales, which Fahrenheit mostly is for temperate climates. |

In that case Americans should love the Metric System...

I agree that Metric is superior to Imperial. Most of the units in the Imperial system are inconsistent and have stupid conversions. However, Fahrenheit will always be far superior to Celsius for the reasons I mentioned above. The combo of Fahrenheit for temps and Metric for everything else would be perfect. |

Stupid old people on social media insisting that their summers back in the 1970's were hotter than ours, even though the heat records are currently not just being beaten, they're being destroyed. They think their nostalgic personal anecdotes matter more than the actual data.  www.bbc.co.uk/news/62212604 |

They think their nostalgic personal anecdotes matter more than the actual data. Aussie social media weather pages are awash with these sorta comments....triggers me to respond even though I know its swimming upsteam and ya cant change long held beliefs...you know the reporting of the record equalling 50c temps in WA back in January, and all the numpties climbing on the, "its summer, happened every year, temps over 50c at Woop Woop Station when I was a kid...." Er, no champ, it didn't...then they launch into a diatribe about the BOM fudging the figures to make the climate look warm so it fits into the Climate Change narrative.....fucken spare me.... Then the floods this year on the East Coast and some very cold July temps, they come out with, "so much for global warming", and "climate change ? pffft." Triggers me as well....gotta answer the dumb fucks, but does no good. Oh and PS: fahrenheit better then Celsius ?....yeah right !....keep thinking that you dopey backward Imperial measurements bastards....make the Great Leap Forward into the 21st Century.... Even the Brits who invented the Imperial system ditched it for something the French invented ie metric. So fpr the Poms to take on a Frog system tells all about how bad the Imperial system is !  |

That's exactly what the stupid mate Angler always said, ie "but muh BuM is boteving the temps to fit the Gorebull Warming AGW greenie agenda"
2. Fahrenheit is superior to Celsius. I agree that Metric is better for pretty much everything else (conversions are much easier, Imperial conversions are dumb and inconsistent), but I will stand by my position that Fahrenheit is superior. Like I said, humans like simple 0 to 100 scales, and 100C is the boiling point, so it's not useful for an everyday life. Also, 0C being freezing is problematic, as you need to use negatives. With Fahrenheit, you rarely have to use negatives or temps over 100, for example an average year has absolute temp ranges from 9F to 97F, so it's like a 0 to 100 scale. Furthermore, Fahrenheit is more precise than Celsius, as in 37C could be either 98F or 99F, we don't know. Less need to use decimals with Fahrenheit due to its precision. No one is ever going to convince me to switch on this, sorry mate. Metric is better indeed, Imperial does suck, but Fahrenheit will forever be superior.

If you left any paperwork outside, it would end up ruined because of the humidity! These idiots haven't got a clue what humidity is. Mate I literally replied to someone earlier on social media in response to a post about how hot the UK is going to get. Someone said how do other countries do it and her response was that the heat in other countries such as Spain is much drier lol. No it isn't. The reason why Spain has lower humidity in summer than the UK generally is due to it's higher temperatures. 38°C today in London will have the same relative humidity as 39°C in Seville. When temperatures rise relative humidity drops. You aren't getting a 40°C day at 90% humidity especially in the UK. It's just temperatures in the UK are usually at a level in summer (20's) where relative humidity is moderate to high |

Sounds like you've come across Angler, and his pals with similar views. While the summer of 1976 wasn't the hottest it was one of the longest and brought with it severe drought. There were over 5 days where temperatures were over 35°C with 35.9°C being the hottest and it lasted for 2 months so I definitely feel that would have been more intense as it was a hot summer that would have lasted for quite a while. This heatwave is merely lasting two days and then going back to the 20's. It's definitely been blown out of proportion by the media. This summer has been nothing like 76 regardless if records are matched or even broken by a degree or two |

Temps forecast in Celsius are always in whole figures, but when measured are recorded in 10ths of a degree Celsius....very accurate I would say. Everywhere in the world does this....oh, except in the US of A. Countries like AU, UK and NZ, former Imperial and therefore Fahrenheit users are au fait with this. It is so simple, water freezes at 0c and boils at 100c....how more simple is that ? In AU -10c is a real hard frost, -5 is a hard freeze at low altitude, 0c common in winter as an overnight min in half the continent, a 5c max temp in any inland town might mean some sleety snowfalls, 10c is also a cold day max temp wise, 15c is sorta cold too, especially in the North, 20c is warm in Hobart but cold in Cairns or Darwin, 25c is warm, 30c is very warm, 35c is hot down south, pretty normal in Northern AU, 40c is hot wherever one is, 45c is fucken really hot and makes you wanna quit ya job and never go back to the Outback again, 50c is record breaking heat and thankfully rare as rocking horse poo. But like I say all measurement are in Celsius to the 10th of a degree...ie was 50.7c in Onslow WA back in January, and dropped as low as -9.9c in Liawenee, TAS back in late May. So simple and easy.... |

Most informed Reddit comment. This must be some reverse SophieLL:
“Especially not in Tampere…..”?!?
In the 8 years I’ve lived here now, I’ll guarantee you that we had 2 weeks of close to minus 30 and at least a full month of not above minus 20……every year!
