My best Christmas ever was in Belgium. We were supposed to go to Germany for the day to visit distant relatives. A blizzard closed everything and instead I got to stay in a bathrobe and read.

Now I would have to go and pack a bathing costume. I am not a fan of climate change.

My city is expecting the first rainy Christmas in recorded history. The Earth is so screwed.

[-] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 39 points 10 months ago

Forget White Christmas, the next generation will celebrate Wet Christmas instead.

I love seeing these comments that completely ignore the southern hemisphere

I love this bit:

There is apparently no suggestion that South America is fictional nor has the existence of New Zealand so far been questioned.

It's just fuck Australia in particular, everything else is fine. :-P

Santa on water skis always looked cool

[-] Carter@feddit.uk 50 points 10 months ago

Same here in the UK. Far too warm.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 36 points 10 months ago

It's storming and 60 degrees where I live.

It should be cold and snowing.

I'm glad I never had kids. Can't imagine how bad it's going to be in a decade or two when the shit really hits the fan.

[-] kn33@lemmy.world 29 points 10 months ago

These are the temps in the notoriously cold Minnesota as well. I'm unsettled and upset.

[-] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 18 points 10 months ago

Yup. I'm Northwest of you in Canada and I can see my lawn. I'm not supposed to see my lawn...

(At least until March at the earliest. We have a little bit of snow but not much, most of it melted)

[-] PumaStoleMyBluff@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

Same in Wisconsin, lawn is greener now in December than it was in June because we had a drought this summer. It's really uncomfortable.

As Global Warming slowly kills us all, try to enjoy it!:-) 😭

[-] Hyperreality@kbin.social 29 points 10 months ago

And reconsider if you want to have kids given the worst is almost certainly yet to come.

I'm living on the south coast of Ireland.

Normal temps this time of year should be between 0° and 10°C (32F to 50F)

It hasn't been less than 10°C all this week, it shows on my car on the way to work. Fucking scary how this is only the beginning and we are in no way prepared for this.

[-] militaryintelligence@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

True, but think of the shareholders

I live in the NW of the US. We've barely gotten to fall yet, let alone winter.

[-] DingoBilly@lemmy.world 28 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

? This makes no sense without further context. Where are you? Is this normal? Why is this infuriating?

Are people really this self-centred they just assume everyone lives in the same place as then and should know? It's 35 degrees celcius here in Australia, a temp of 14 degrees looks amazing to me.

[-] localhost443@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 10 months ago

Yeah, bad post.

This is the current temp in south UK, been 14-15c last 2 days. Usually would be less than 0c now, often around -5 or lower in the past.

First Christmas I've seen people going from car to shop/garage in t shirts

Just wait for Easter either with -10°C or with 30°C...

It is 20C where I am. I don’t remember it ever being over 5-10 in this area, during December. I’m still wearing shorts, while usually going outside without a thick hoodie and a scarf used to be a stupid idea.

And on the flip side of that, the summer was so hot, that we all had to bunker inside, to avoid high humidity heat.

[-] PinkPanther@sh.itjust.works 15 points 10 months ago

This is the coldest Christmas you'll have from here on... It'll only get warmer.

[-] june@lemmy.world 43 points 10 months ago

Not really how climate change works. While the average global temperature will trend higher, there will be colder and hotter seasons, each getting more extreme as they go back and forth. There will be hotter heat waves and colder cold snaps.

[-] highenergyphysics@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Wanna know a fun fact?

Air conditioning stops working effectively around 120F and decreases in efficiency as it gets hotter because the condenser cannot effectively discharge heat into the air.

Freshwater sources are drying up worldwide with absolute proof and nobody cares.

Take a serious look at moving somewhere moderate. The ultra wealthy are all building fortified compounds in the Michigan peninsula. Why?

[-] Naz@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

It's possible to engineer a condenser that outputs 60-80°C using exotic gases/coolant blends, but you're right, the standard residential A/C is going to be operating at around 48°C.

[-] PinkPanther@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

Oh, of course, no doubt! I'm a child if late middle 80's, growing up in a western coast in Norway. There was always snow during winter. The last 15 years has shown MAYBE a day or two of snow, then warmer again.

And then we had the sudden cold for a couple of weeks, which postponed the construction of a new parking lot with about two months due to the frost in the ground (there was something like a sudden 2-3 weeks of -10 Celsius).

Then we have the summer of 18 in Europe. Even Norway was so dry everything turned yellow.

It happens, but I do think that in some climates, like Norway, it'll mostly get warmer with the freak occurrence of cold/heat (depending on the season). My previous comment is for the general term, not to be taken literally.

And thank you! I've missed having a constructive discussions on the internet. Happy holidays!

[-] gndagreborn@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

It's 70 F here in Houston, Texas. It is also wet and disgusting outside.

It’s been like 10 degrees Celsius in my town and my parents‘ basement has been collecting water all day. Seems like perfect Christmas weather.

It's ~20C year round where I live. There are Christmas lights on the palm trees. That's how we tell the season. Welcome to SoCal near the coast where the deep water shelf and upwelling dominate a microclimate within a couple kilometers of the coast while technically a desert with only a few weeks of rain in total each year.

[-] wildwhitehorses@aussie.zone 8 points 10 months ago

27°C at not quite 8am xmas day heading for only 36° thankfully.. Standard not a cloud in the sky,

Its a reminder to exercise to lift that bottom, the sweat has begun

[-] numberfour002@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Where I live in the USA, that's not a particularly unusual day time high for this time of year. I always like when it's not bitterly cold at Christmas and New Years, and some of my favorite childhood Christmases/holidays were spent in shorts and t-shirts. I don't think I've ever experienced snow on Christmas, perhaps a flurry at best around New Year's Eve is the most I can recall off the top of my head.

Granted, I live some place where that's been the norm for the past such and such number of decades since the age of the brontosaurus which is what they were called back then.

I feel bad for you, hope you have a nice Christmas anyways. But here (Gutenberg, Sweden) we have ~0°C and snow outside. That's not exceptionally cold, but we still have snow *-<|:+)

[-] elephantium@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Thank you for writing 57°F instead of 57.20°F :)

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 10 months ago

Well its 30°C here yeah.

Need context about how much your area have temperature usually

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Today I'm working outside in a t-shirt. Comfortably. It's even fucking raining and I still don't need a jacket.

[-] Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi 5 points 10 months ago

Try the same temp on Christmas day...

Where's my Australian Scorcher of a Christmas?
