Not too good for everyone on holiday. Typically, the sun will return in August when everyone is back at work. This has been a pattern for years now, along with the climate changing. Some people have started to suggest moving the holiday month.

nostr:npub17sha6ku2fxgt7k268u5kedl5pn25dqrd6v9eqem7kj3s2248mnfs7x6e06 Yep. There was a huge debate in the UK press about it last winter, because the gas prices were so high and people couldn't afford the heating bills. One of the things mentioned were that they really have to start insulating houses better.

Interesting observation

nostr:npub17sha6ku2fxgt7k268u5kedl5pn25dqrd6v9eqem7kj3s2248mnfs7x6e06 Everyone I know who have lived in the UK were horribly shocked at how cold their buildings are in winter. And their winters are a lot milder than ours😆

nostr:npub17sha6ku2fxgt7k268u5kedl5pn25dqrd6v9eqem7kj3s2248mnfs7x6e06 The big difference between Norway and UK is that our buildings are very well insulated because of the harsh winters. A side effect of that is of course that they don't let in much heat in summer either. So it's usually enough to have a draft going through the apartment and the temperature will be ok. Saying that; when the climate change gets even worse, air conditioning will probably start becoming normal here as well. UK buildings generally have terrible insulation or none at all!

Yep, that's true. Most of the Scandinavians who moved to North America ended up in the northern climes. And it's because of that genetic difference. I hadn't thought about you having that for some reason.

Fans are something that you get used to. You just have to use them for a while and then they don't bother you anymore. Turns out AC is the same way.

nostr:npub17sha6ku2fxgt7k268u5kedl5pn25dqrd6v9eqem7kj3s2248mnfs7x6e06 I blame my ancestors. Us blue eyed vikings aren't genetically prepared for heat. Snow storm? That's fine, no problem at all😂 I do actually have a fan, but it just gives me sinus ache🤪

nostr:npub17sha6ku2fxgt7k268u5kedl5pn25dqrd6v9eqem7kj3s2248mnfs7x6e06 We had a maximum of 35C in June, I think. Terrible🥵 July has been around 15-25C.

A chat with a friend in the UK on Ham radio. Five nights a week typically and I don't think they have hit 20c all summer. Their highest has been around 18 or 19C

It's been so hot and dry here that I've been having to water my trees because they're beginning to drop leaves.

Nobody does well at 40c temperatures. I do great at around 30-32c.

JMB cracks up! Well said, my friend.

nostr:npub17sha6ku2fxgt7k268u5kedl5pn25dqrd6v9eqem7kj3s2248mnfs7x6e06 🥵🥵🥵 I would not do well in that heat, I'll take rain and 20C any day😆 The eastern parts of Norway got it really bad yesterday though. 45mm of rain in one hour!😳 That's like the normal average for two months around here.

I'm using it to send this reply; seems to work for me.
