It rained earlier and now it's overcast and about 22 degrees. This is more like it! Warm enough to get away with wearing a T-shirt but cold enough to be comfortable in a hoodie. It's meant to get hotter over the weekend but hopefully not as high as earlier in the week.

Glad y'all in the UK are back to better weather, though

On weather: how it's experienced has a lot to do with how prepared you are. I live in the Midwest US, and it's not uncommon to see us make fun of places like Atlanta when they're rendered helpless by two inches of snow. What is usually missed is that cities to the north have plows and such on standby, so the roads are usually clear quickly.
Our temps have been right around the same as London's but almost every building in my city has air conditioning of some stripe, so it's not a great burden to most people - with the exception of some poor folks, especially the elderly, who routinely perish when it gets that hot. (We tend to forget about these - they aren't as dramatic as shootings.) In London, AC is less ubiquitous since it usually doesn't get that hot, so it's a bigger deal.

Yes Stu. Being from Ohio half our year is snow and the other half is 95+ degrees.
When i moved down to Alpharetta Georgia it was like entering a new world. We got snow one day that actually stuck to the ground and the entire state went into state of emergency and you weren't allowed to go drive anywhere in it... meanwhile in Ohio driving through a foot of snow in January is just a normal expectation and god forbid if it makes you late to something haha.
I guess we get used to all climates here. I've had jobs outside where you are working in a -15 wind chill in the middle of winter as well as been a roofer in the middle of july where its 115 degrees up on the roof all day. I guess its a benefit that our bodies see the wide range of weather instead of just one constant all year long for the most part

It depends on humidity, honestly.
40C + in South Australia is far more bearable than 40C+ in Queensland. 40 degrees plus in 75% Humidity is ******* unbearable and kills people. I've been at the Brisbane Airport when it has been like this, and have watched people from Europe walking through the car park wearing looks like 'Oh god...what ******* Hell is this'? It also causes horrifically violent storms, but you're grateful for them because they break the heat. Unless they bring hail.
Most of the roadworks that happen here happen at night now. Pouring hot roadbase, in overalls, and spreading it in Summer isn't work, it's a form of torture. It basically cannot be done by a human being for extended periods of time on really hot days.
If you want to visit Queensland, don't come in February.

yea thats true. Ohio fairly humid in the summer but man down in Georgia in the summer the humidity and heat combo was nasty. You'd start sweating while drying off from getting out of the shower it was so humid.

GA native, can confirm. I'll never understand why anyone chose to live in the South before AC.

Nice. I was in Alpharetta. The exact area has been since renamed Johns Creek once i left. Great area. My foster parents moved me there in my teens
07.22.2022 | 3:53 PM ET
I grew up in Lawrenceville right on the edge of Suwanee. Used to see Johns Creek High School all the time in quiz bowl competitions. The houses in Johns Creek usually have great holiday lights around Christmas time. It's fun to drive through and check them out.

Well that's true and untrue. Most people in Australia live on the coasts. Pro tip: If you want to see the most beautiful parts of Australia and don't want to go to cyclone territory, go to the Tweed coast or really anywhere that's coastal Northern NSW apart from Byron Bay, because it's a trendy ****hole. Hire a car, drive it. You'll hit the most beautiful place you've ever seen every 20 minutes.
I have been out west, to the NT and Catherine regions also. Some of it is bad, awful. Some of what I saw could be aptly described as third world, I **** you not.
Also on the convicts thing, it's true but overstated. Basically the vast majority of people sent to Botany Bay and other penal colonies were petty/common thieves forced into being that due to socioeconomics. Most of them were sentenced for stealing food. If you were a murderer or a ******, you probably hung and didn'[t get deported. The Brits were looking for a way to depopulate London of all the riff-raff choking the streets to death and causing a crime epidemic, and this was caused by the industrial revolution drawing everybody from the countryside and counties into the capital. Industrialising London was a ****hole of nigh-indescribable proportions. So they were basically able to kill two birds with one stone in the sense they could get rid of hordes of the great unwashed and colonise a new territory through deportation.
It was a big level up for a lot of deportees. Compared to dying slowly of rickets and malnutrition, getting by bonegrubbing and mudlarking, baking bricks in the sunshine for two years then being told to go on your merry way to eat crabs the size of serving platters in paradise probably didn't seem like a terrible trade after all.

It was great while it lasted. Couldn't take the Hindu **** so i grabbed a greyhound ticket back to Akron and that was that. Went from living in a gated community to the woods in Akron Ohio lol not my brightest decision but what teenager makes bright decisions. Georgia was awesome though. Id love to go back now as an adult and have some fun.
