Rain on me. / myLot

Ireland

I don’t do well in the heat. Yes, I spent most of my childhood in Africa, yes I have spent a lot of time in India and other places prone to high temperatures, but once the heat gets above the low 60sF (15C) I begin to wilt like a dose of spinach tossed onto a plate of cooked potatoes. I need constant watering, inside and out, and plenty of shade. This is why I’m best suited to Ireland, but on a day like today (24C) I’d really be in the other hemisphere, somewhere like Buenos Aires where it’s 4C yet sunny.

24C sound ideal to me but I hope it cools down for you soon.

I understand very well, I refused to move to the Caribbeans, I cannot stand the heat. South of Switzerland in summer is almost too hot for me.

@Gillygirl It rained during the night and it was cloudy this morning, but now it is too warm and humid, it is unpleasant.

I hate the heat, which is unfortunate considering I live in Oklahoma, a part of the United States that frequently gets to over 100 degrees during the summer. My ideal temperature is 60 degrees, Fahrenheit.

I like warmth more than cold. It was 100 F here yesterday. It felt good on the porch. I grew up in hot places in the southwestern USA and got used to warm temperatures early in life.

I don't mind the heat but it is the humidity that gets to me. Constant sweating even in the shade.
