I live in the northern hemisphere and just realized that when I'm ready for snow, Australia is dying of heatstroke. I'm 25. It's embarrassin
LifesLittleLunatic
I started work at 5.30 am and was sweating straight away. Gonna be a bitch of a summer
MrMcGeeIn3D
California low desert resident here. The struggle is real.
NotAPlant
QLD here, I find that its never really the heat but the humidity being like 80% thats bad.
Lulabel73
I don’t know how you can stand it. Melbourne is having a bit of a humid heat wave and I hate it!
Evenlymade
Once stepped barefoot into melting tar on the road, road became really hot. Jumped into the grass... Directly onto broken bottles...
cavedoge
If ya stand on the road too long you bust a plugger when you try to move cause that shits melted there
freoazz
When you contemplate installing aircon in the toilet because you sweat trying to take a shit...
ChroniclesofKT
TIL Dubai and Australia are one and the same...
Touchesthings
Used to live in Saudi Arabia. A lot of these hit close to home too.

Meanwhile in northern Germany: Oh, Rain and about 15 degrees. I hate the summers here...

When you walk barefoot to the milk bar for a Golden Gaytime, keep your feet on the painted lines.
DamagedButAdorable
High pain tolerance.Drove home with a burning steering wheel.Realised skin was peeling off my hands and it actually blistered and burned off
FeChefImgur
fuckin oath mate !
Kellieface
This is too real right now. Lying on my bathroom floor because it's the coolest place in the house.

Meanwhile I am sitting inside with a coat on, waiting for my hands to warm up so I can continue the dishes.
Summonsays
I had to walk my dog this morning >.<
izmi
I am so glad I live in New Zealand.
Deathsloveforcats
Meanwhile, in Brisbane we have had the coolest November on record. Nice change! Hope it cools down a bit there soon
Lulabel73
We are getting a months worth of rain in the next 3 days, that’s going to be fun.

Hey!! I'm a newfarmy
jayharrisbb6
So it's, Texas, with more stuff that wants to kill you
Lulabel73
And less cowboy hats.
jayharrisbb6
To be fair, I've never seen a Texan actually wear one. It's mainly the Hispanics
Lulabel73
Um to us you’re all Texans.
4thwalled
Yeah, today was hot. Tomorrow will be 36C+. Then we're expecting up to 250mm of rain. Then Sun temp is a top of 20C. No joke. Weird.
4thwalled
Sun=Sunday
Kellieface
Are you from Melbourne?
4thwalled
Latrobe Valley. 90mins east of Melbourne.
MrHobbes14
Perth is forecast like that. Rain on the weekend, but meant to be 30+ on Friday.

27) no need to hang the washing. Just take it out of the machine, walk to the line, walk back, voila
Linnywtf
I lived in Aus for a few months and it was pretty much fine most of the time but this one day I went outside and it was legit like an oven.
boofhead60
Yay #25
whyiseverythingupsidedown
It was 39° C (102° F) and raining today. The weather here can go and get fucked.
pandorafalters
Man, I love warm/hot rain. Hot humidity can suck rocks, but if it's actually RAINING then we good.

Imagine if fire could be on fire. Then add some steam for ambiance.

Hello from Arizona. Australia's little cousin. Almost all of these apply to us as well.
igreatlydislikechickens
Australia is super dangerous Arizona. Got it
camelman912
Or South Florida...
virgil592
Nah it's about 1:1 minus the magpies and the reverse winters.
boofhead60
naa thats our coastal area,, beyond the black stump is worse
Zerocool2319
As a resident of Arizona, can confirm. It’s one of the reasons I went to NAU.
MrYazzieYazz
Whoop whoop! I love my cold Flagstaff town!
MissLynnLew
As a Texan, we sympathize. We were wearing shorts the last weekend of November. So this summer our flip-flops will melt to the asphalt.
HalfThaiThiccyAllSheWannaDoIsBangkok
More animals less guns. It's like a safe Arizona.
MrYazzieYazz
Nah, I live in Flagstaff, Arizona. We have a ski resort and will be getting snow soon.
igreatlydislikechickens
Yeah, but it still gets hot up there in the summer. Love flagstaff.
MrYazzieYazz
Mid to upper 90s is hot I guess. I think we got to 107 at one point. We do have a 100 degree temp flux though. 100 in summer, 0 in winter.
catchmorehoneysbeingfly
That's not real Arizona. Source: Tucson resident
last1alive
Summer clothes when going to Arizona in January or February, got it.
Crustypeanut
It was nearly 90 F a few days after thanksgiving.

26) You burnt the soles of your feet walking through a carpark.
aussysadmin
Even though you were wearing shoes
Myowngrampa
I couldnt even walk in the sand when i was there for 4 35+ degree days
Fairdinkums
Wear thongs i hate seeing people in supermarkets barefoot. The ground is just gonna fuck you up when you go outside
TheDarkLordChinChin
I hate seeing people in public barefoot in general, it's like okay bucko enjoy your hookworms. It really isn't that hard to put on thongs.
MoneyGlazedClam
By thongs you mean flip flops right? American lingo.
TakeAFannyGallop
Yes.
Ctiyboy
the real term is Jandals, as our New Zealander friends would say.

Learnt that growing up as dad's a nz'er
bioshockisagoodgame
Are y'all Victorians READY FOR THE FLOODS, starts tomorrow (Friday) ... We're getting a month of rain in 3 days.. Fun.
BESTtaylorINAUSTRALIA
Bushfires 1st champ. You skipped a step
Kellieface
I don't think I'm ready, no.
TheNetworkGuy2
*you have a BBQ (Barbie) every day of the week because it’s too hot to go inside & you can’t be bothered thinking of something better.
JHawke
Mobile cooking plates, they are quite cheap... I use them all the time because my kitchen has no space for a proper one.
ShyNynaeve
89.6 degrees F.
RootEnoch
Why does America still insist on sticking with Fahrenheit?
PersonWithAPaintbrush
They teach us the American system, and then in every class we have to use metrics
AninOnin
Same reason we insist on sticking to racism, imperialism, and science-denial, I guess.
Lulabel73
Actually it got to 97.4 f :)
Cayde69
Adelaide here. 100F.
sealfury
I think they were translating that "it gets below 32 and you feel chilly" list item
lNeedMoney
You call that shit hot??
Ronners
Shit hot means you’re good at something or can be swapped for thank you.
dEXm64
Not really, that's about average for Melbourne during summer. Hot would be 40s. Thing you have to realise, Melbourne is SEASIDE, not desert
lNeedMoney
I'm used to 50-55 but in the desert. I haven't experienced that much heat in the sea side
dEXm64
We get 50. The other thing is we're practically under the ozone hole too, so the sun is literally different down here. Lucky I like heat
BlackThornDalinar
Can confirm. Worked with South Africans "whats wrong with thr sun here" it fuckin burns
Hyrkitekite
Meanwhile news is saying "in Darwin (where I live) ground temperature has been hitting 70c (158f)" I am like yah nah, then go outside. 1/2
Hyrkitekite
And it freaking was. Stupid equator, stupid monsoon. Love the storms though.
cutecharlieuniformnovembertango
I have to drive a three hour round trip tomorrow and I have no air con. I live in Australia. Wish me luck.
Alicat1194
Wet hair - built in evaporative aircon. While it lasts, at least.
Velvetdragon

cutecharlieuniformnovembertango
Yeah pretty much. Love the suggestions from people but it’s for an interview so I can’t be spritzing my face/my stupid frizzy hair.
followthewhiterabbit
good luck mate

Spritz bottle of water, with the windows down.
MrHobbes14
I worked as a postie (we ride little motorbikes) and heard a story of a newbie who collapsed from heat stroke. He had 3rd degree burns 1/
GoliathSkittles
I live in a posh cunt neighbourhood...the posties here ride pedal bikes...feel sorry for those poor bastards.
MrHobbes14
Bet they still ride over the lawns haha
MrHobbes14
From where he fell onto the pavement. Was a rough job.
bunnitos
Must have been a newbie if he was actually out delivering mail and not just dumping it all at the post office to be collected.
followthewhiterabbit
burrrn!
MrHobbes14
... We deliver letters. You're thinking about parcel contractors. People wanna bitch but aren't smart enough to know shit.
bunnitos
Touchy touchy. Going postal?
MrHobbes14
I was. Thankfully I left a few years back
