claiming the Midwest is a different world from the Northeast. Yea, the coastal Northeast is milder though still has some similarities. Interior Northeast? We're also variable, too even if our summers are a bit milder at the same laititude.

I'd love to see a place that can get 100 degrees and snow the next day, I don't think it would be possible.
There's a version of this dumb temperature scale for lots of places, this is the Minnesota version. Duluth and Bemidji are cities.
60 above zero:
Floridians turn on the heat.
People in Minnesota plant gardens.
50 above zero:
Californians shiver uncontrollably.
People in Duluth sunbathe.
40 above zero:
Italian & English cars won't start.
People in Minnesota drive with the windows down.
32 above zero:
Distilled water freezes.
The water in Bemidji gets thicker.
20 above zero:
Floridians don coats, thermal underwear, gloves, wool hats.
People in Minnesota throw on a flannel shirt.
15 above zero:
New York landlords finally turn up the heat.
People in Minnesota have the last cookout before it gets cold.
Zero:
People in Miami all die.
Minnesotans close the windows.
10 below zero:
Californians fly away to Mexico .
People in Minnesota get out their winter coats.
25 below zero:
Hollywood disintegrates.
The Girl Scouts in Minnesota are selling cookies door to door.
40 below zero:
Washington DC runs out of hot air.
People in Minnesota let the dogs sleep indoors.
100 below zero:
Santa Claus abandons the North Pole.
Minnesotans get upset because they can't start the Mini-Van.
460 below zero:
ALL atomic motion stops (absolute zero on the Kelvin scale.)
People in Minnesota start saying..."Cold 'nuff fer ya?"
500 below zero:
Hell freezes over.
Minnesota public schools will open 2 hours late.

"500 below zero" lol, not even a temperature that can happen.
I forgot to mention one thing that irks me: When people talk about the heat index or wind chill like it's the actual temperature outside. "Holy shit, it's 105 degrees outside!" No it's not. I don't get why people do this, 90 degrees with a 78 dew point is already impressive on it's own, no need to exaggerate it.
Or the opposite. "OMG it's -30 C outside!" nah, it's -18 C with 20 mph winds. Again, no reason to exaggerate. -18 C and windy is already damn cold.
Also, anyone who quotes the Canadian humidex should be hung by their nutsack from a chain-linked fence.

I think people have a skewed way of looking at oceanic climates - I find it odd how some people think having cold or snowy winters excludes a climate from being oceanic. That's fucking stupid. Obviously, a high latitude oceanic climate can indeed be prone to cold and snow. Longyearbyen is very clearly an oceanic climate at very high latitude. I've seen people call Tromso "humid continental" simply because the winters are cold  like no, just no.
In fact, I don't think oceanic should be a climate type, rather a climate influencer as oceanic is something that can exist in every climate sub-type from tropical to polar. "Oceanic" climates are really variable as well so to me it doesn't make much sense to group it all into one category.Well said. Classification and climate are fundamentally different, but that's a point lost to some.. Some people just love to regurgitate Köppen bullshit and written rules without any thoughts of their own, unfortunately. |

People don't understand dewpoints here so I usually refer to the heat index talking about Thailand (though I wouldn't pretend like it was actually 44'C) |

I liked this thread on C-D, we should keep it going here. 1.) Anything ABNW or LKJ say 2.) When people say shit like "only in New Jersey does temperature go from 70 to 40 in a day!" I.E. thinking rapid weather changes are unique to their climate. 3.) 100 degrees with 100% humidity 4.) Chemtrails LKJ1988 and YnOhTnA/Texyn take the cake |

And we wonder why the general public is so ill-informed in terms of weather. Weather is one of the few topics with such casual ignorance and no one bats an eyelash at it.

It is a stupidity to say there is now a heat wave in SE Estonia. The daily mean has been +1.3c above average so far, so this is warm weather with above average temperatures and dryness, not heat wave. (with other parts of E. i agree).

If you think Anhityk is having a heatwave, then I'm afraid you're mentally challenged. I mean look at these completely normal temperatures.  |

With the heatwave going on in the UK & reports about it on BBC News Facebook page, you keep getting comments from dumb fuckers in other countries saying stupid shit like...
"33C?! PMSL that aint no heatwave that's a cool spring day in Texas"
"You call that hot? My god here in Australia it's hotter than that in winter!"
"Try living here in XXXXXX where it is 120F every day for months on end"
Stupid .

Anhityk is not having a heatwave because Anhityk has had no 3 days in row with 30c or more (and not even 3 separate days with 30c or more degrees). As I already told- "warm summer" would be very correct to say.
Whose temperatures did you post, baba? if they are mine and you call them heatwave, well then it must be a very super weak "heat wave" then. These are just the summer's warmest temperatures what i have had in every summer, even in cheesy ones.

“OMG it’s 25 C! Unbearable heat! How do people survive this?  I’m burning up” ”OMG ITS 10 C! Unbearable cold! How do people survive this? I’m gonna freeze to death” “You have family in Norway? It must be like -40 f all winter there with like 800 feet of snow and no sun for like 6 nths there right?” People who think Arizona is extremely hot year round. Nice try, half of it is super hot in the summer but a bunch of it has summers only a little warmer than ours and everywhere has mild or cool winters. |

Where I live a lot of people say that it can't snow when it's too cold. That snow falls when temperature is around 0°C/32°F.
People say that because when it snows here the temperature is indeed around 0°C.
But it's the other way around. Snow = cloudy day = low diurnal range. When it snows in other locations the same is true, but winters in Quebec City for example are a lot colder. Hell, the average high for January is lower than the average low for July in Esquel. And yet Januaries in Quebec City are as snowy as it gets.
So, while there's a upper limit to the temperature required for snow to happen, there's no lower limit. It even snows in Vostok Station, it just doesn't snow a lot because it is bone dry.

"Try living here in XXXXXX where it is 120F every day for months on end" Stupid . You also see the opposite when the Southern US sees a cold snap. "LOL, 0 F???! That's a May day here in Michigan!" Yes Susan, I'm sure where the average highs are 65-70 F, 0 F is a perfectly normal day. "LOL, 11 inches of snow?! Those are snow flurries here in Upstate NY!" Karen, 11 inches of snow is pretty significant anywhere you go, but especially in the South. People are too idiotic, stupid, moronic and narrow-minded to have any sense of relativity. They always base things off where *they* live. Also, morons tend to exaggerate everything, so Michigan is -100 F with 98 feet of snow a month during winter. If you believe morons that is. |

"Helleinferno" in the tabloids. 'Helle' means heat in Finnish.

Easthome as usual with his mad sentence structure and no paragraphs. Why put quotations? Though he is wrong about no records breaking. The fact or shall I say 'fact' that the heat is long lasting is why its RECORD BREAKING DUMBO....
