Where I live, if you factor in windchill and humidex, we have an ~80°C swing in tenperature. Its crazy.

Not only do I live where the air hurts my face, but now I got to deal with being constantly sweaty for ~3 months of the year.

You know, I'd never thought of it that way, but same. I had to buy an AC for the first time a couple years ago.

What gets me is that like, where I live, we used to wonder if we'd be seeing a white Halloween. Now we're lucky for a white Christmas.

Shiet, i'm sorry for that. Even I, that lives in a pretty mild place (normal summer not above 35c and normal winter not below like 10c), had summer in april nd that shit went up to 38c this year. The changes are definetely being felt lol.
