I actually like being out in the cold., especially camping in negatives (under 273°K) or snow. I spent most of my life beach bumming in the subtropics and after adjusting to the initial climate change, find winter in an alpine environment much easier than summer in subtropics.
In the cold you can just put another layer on or go inside and it's refreshing. As opposed heat where you're naked, but that's it you can't remove anymore, and the massive dehumidifier/aircon somehow can't keep up, the town water's gone warm so a cold shower doesn't help much. You just wait for around 5:00pm when the daily massive storm rolls through dumping back down everything the day sucked up, leaving the roads steaming so much you can't see, and giving the sun a last 90 mins to suck it all back up again for a bit of nighttime humidity and the impossibility of sleep.
I have tried to sleep in 46°C with high humidity and I've slept like a baby camping in -11°C dug in snow.
I 100% agree with you. I live in the southern US so most of the year is miserable to me temperature wise.
Also heads up kelvin is just notated with K no degree sign.
I just moved down to Miami last month. I know it's going to be brutal come May/June (I was just down there in August) but I've spent the last 38 years in the North East and having to put on a winter jacket and gloves just to sit in your car and drive somewhere while waiting for the heater to work gets old after a while. At least a lot of the places in the South (or at least the newer cities in Florida) are built for the heat, meanwhile the NE wasn't built for recent climate change. This summer was just as bad as Miami many days in a row, I was staying at my parents 100+ year old house in NJ (which doesn't have central air) and even with the window AC cranked down to 63 I'd wake up sweating because it was 80-90% humidity in my room.
You're the only one I've seen mention "normal" temperatures in Kelvin 😂
My dads company has been trying to move south for a while and my dad's been one of the few that refuses to move south. As a result he finds himself having a lot of southern coworkers and when he debate of why you love the north so much. This is what he always brings up.
