What do I do when there's no bus route anywhere near my work? I cycle when it's weather appropriate but I ain't cycling to work in 20°C heatwave.

20 c is a heatwave? Isn't that like 68 F? I'd think 30+ is heatwave territory.

[–] WhiteHawk@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Nah, 30° is hot, heatwave territory is 35+

20 is enough to be generally uncomfortable all day.

I think you've become confused?

Fair enough. I start to get grumpy at 24 but I grew up in the desert SW USA but have acclimated to our temperate PacNW weather. I'd say similar to Manchester and Liverpool but summers definitely get hotter.

And here my air conditioner settings are set to 24C°...

20° heatwave? It's 33° tomorrow and I'll be cycling.

Campaign for better bus routes?

You're quite picky. Appropriate for a 1st Worlder, I might say.
