    Is going to? It actually is. We are rn putting alarms to open the house on the half an hour where the temperature drops below 23°C. We have 31 days and 24 nights. The usual here on hot season is 16 nights and 24 days so we don’t even have air conditioning. We literally are strategically airing the house to cool it a little bit…

    • Of course, the current El Niño is in the early stages of formation and might not live up to the hype. But if the forecasts prove accurate, it would be a whopper (NY Times)

      It’s still spooling up. I’m afraid to experience this thing at full force.

        We are not even on the same continent. Nice default Americanism I guess. I intentionally put the Celsius degrees to que people that it wasn’t the US they are right, I’m the one that ignored context.

          You’re on a chain about El Niño, and commenting as if you’re effected. That implies America’s, or the Pacific broadly at most. Regardless, what they said is perfectly relevant to the thread. If you were speaking of hot climate in general then you’re the one putting yourself somewhere you don’t belong.

          People in north america use celcius. Let people talk from their own perspectives, what’s wrong with that? You can talk about how it’ll be from where you live, but how dare they?

      It was 36C where I live last week. If I didn’t have AC I’d be dead. Luckily, we’re only looking at ~30C this week. But I’m still gonna be running the AC.

      If you have an attic, pop it open and stick a deck of cards in there. Hot air rises, so it should help.

      I only just heard this recently and tried it today. 🤷‍♂️
