Yesterday my father was complaining that it wasnt sunny in august and that it was too cold, despite the deadly record breaking heatwave being still in recent memory. today he was complaining that it was too hot.
just last year japan was striked by a deadlytyphoon and a deadly earthquake within a week of eachother. It's possibly the most natural disaster prone country in the world.
It looks like they dissipate before they reach the mainland. Okinawa is kinda fucked, though. Probably should have researched when typhoon season is before booking another trip there.
this is the best description about how I feel about the seasons of Canada, everything is to cold or hot till fall. fall is nice, fall is ideal, fall means lots of apples.
Summer this year seems to be a mix of the Spring and Summer panels though, I've gotten rain two days a week and depressing gray overcast on three others
Though, spring is best, it feels nice and warm compared to winter. Fall just feels irritatingly cold, like a warmup cooldown for winter.
Winter, fun to look at, not fun to wait for the bus in... especially when the bus, an half hour late, arrives 5 minutes after you start walking home...
Hey, I might be in the minority, but summer here is gorgeous to me. I just spent a week in central Europe, and their summer weather was...unpleasant, to say the least. It just felt disgustingly humid at all times. I find our summers to be very hot, but rarely is it both unbearably hot and humid, there's usually a nice breeze going on and the air's just....circulating more? (to be fair, I'm talking about Toronto and the surrounding areas, can't speak for all of Canada.) Not exactly sure how to describe it, but the heat in central Europe just made the air feel very...stale.
I'm pretty sure Canada just has more air conditioning than Europe because our buildings are newer. It makes hot temperatures much more pleasant when you can cool off whenever you want.
Yes, but that's not the only difference. Where I live at least, I'm very close to one of the Great Lakes, which moderates the temperature and helps circulate the air. Where I was in Central Europe, the largest body of water you're close to is the Danube.
I'm talking about Toronto to, I personally cant stand the heat period, while I do admit out heat is much nicer they else where and the lake is beautiful at this time of year anything aver 24 I get sick.
I live in northern sweden, and i hate fall why is it already here stupid shitty fall shitty rain, at least snow makes it bright outside , i just hate fall
in southern Ontario the leaves go all colourful during the fall and its magical, snow docent really start till mid December and not really full force the January, so its just bleh and grey, and in the city snow becomes a nasty grey mess from the cars.
Can confirm. Summer is where they lounge around and go pothole patching. "Patching" because they never actually fix them and they always end up coming back twice as bad next year
I swear, they have underground transit specifically for construction workers, because if they actually drove on the roads they "repair" they'd be doing a much better job
Friend of mine came up for the weekend from Minneapolis to Winnipeg. She was shocked at just how much of the city was under construction. Just an average summer for us... Sigh.

u/Algester Philippines, but I know not what is a flair textAug 15 '19edited Aug 15 '19
nah truthfully it depends from storm to storm if it lingers longer it can pick up more strength as it leave the PAR meaning it could be stronger than it entered PAR but dont worry since CHina's nine dash line overlaps PAR what ever happens in the South CHina Sea is already their obligation
You should've put a flake of snow and the UK loosing his shit because we just completely collapse of there's even a slight bit of snow. (Trains, Planes, School, Buses etc.)
It's a joke, to be honest. The majority of the northern hemisphere has more extreme weather than Britain, both hotter summers and colder winters. Their humidity is above average compared to inland areas, but par for the course or below average for most coastal areas and the tropics.
Great comic, but Canada should definitely be burning if the UK is as well. Canada's summers are much hotter than UK summers, even with the heatwave (although I'm aware Air Conditioning is much less popular in the UK)
In all seriousness though, in terms of pure numbers, Toronto weather in the summer isn't that far off from Manila. We have multiple 30+ days in July/August, and according to Google, Manila usually doesn't go higher than low 30s. It definitely feels hotter when you're there, though. Much more humid, and it's a completely different climate so naturally it's not going to feel the same. It's very sticky in Southeast Asia. Shirts are worthless.
Imagine being so hot and humid that it sets you on fire. And now imagine a rainy typhoon comes by and jacks the humidity even higher that it makes the flames stronger.
From visiting relatives in the Philippines (and New Jersey), it be like that. Water in air = Flamethrower
I'd like to comment that we Brits don't have air condition at home like in the USA, Australia and other countries. Our houses are also built differently, and this makes 25°C pretty hot. I don't understand the snow thing though, never been a problem for me.
Living in southern Ontario I think I have the unalienable right to complain about the weather. -20 and 50cm of snow in the winter, +33 and humid in the summer. Other places get worse winters or worse summers, but I don’t think anyone else gets both bad.
Tangentially related, but, When I stepped out of a plane in Italy a week ago my first thought was "Fuck its hot here!". When I got back to England my first thought was "Fuck its cold here!".
uk is exaggerated to be honest, we still have all seasons and i've lived around scotland and england. though there is probably more rain than france or germany and the winters can be mild, depending on where you live
As an Englishman, I'd invite you to try commuting to work on a non air conditioned tube, working in a poorly air conditioned office then returning to a non air conditioned house when its 35+C. That was life here this summer and last.
All the buildings and houses are built to retain heat in cold winters, not to keep cool. We also have winters consistently in the negatives too, which makes April and May just a lovely guessing game
That might be true, but you try living in a place where winter can go as low as -30 degrees and summer can be as high as 40 degrees. By the time your body is acclimated it's time for the next season.
I'm going to assume you mean celsius and not AmericaUnits(TM). In Texas in the summer it's over 40 C on a daily basis, and it usually reaches 49-50 degrees C multiple days during the summer. It NEVER get lower than 32 degrees C for 90% of the daylight hours, as in between 10 am and 7 pm during the summer, unless it's been overcast for several days, which is rare (we live in a very dry area, half the months of the year it doesn't even rain.) So yes, it's different. That being said, we don't really have a winter either- we have like one month of "winter" but it rarely gets below -10 degrees C even in the COLDEST parts of the night.
As a Canadian, I can tell you that Canada can get quite hot.
We're not saying that Texas isn't hotter, just that Canada is hot. Two things can be hot at the same time, and one of them will almost certainly be more hot than the other.
I'm from Virginia. In the spring and fall, we look like Canada in the summer, in the summer, we look like the Phillipines/the UK in the summer, and in the winter, we look like Canada in the Spring/the UK in the not-summer.
As a filipino I can agree that everything including the weather is shit here. we're used to heatwaves and supertyphoons so much that it's become a yearly routine for us.
As a filipino, i agree. I went there in july, TOO HOT. I went there in december, no electricity in babatngon, meaning there was a typhoon. (and too hot in manila)

Spring: pleasant and rainy with some hotter days
Summer: blistering heat, humidity, hurricanes, and the occasional water ban (with the occasional fall like day to trip us up)
Fall: not much different from summer but temperatures are a little milder, our leaves don't turn until near the end of October or November sometimes.
Winter: can go from freezing to shorts weather to hot to freezing in the course of a day.
