Gosh, I think I won't come there. I simply can't bear heat. Today we're under the 12°C (53 - 54 °F), with quite strong wind and clear sky, which is my favourite weather.

Very humid here, too. Sometimes 85-90%, unless it's windy (as today). Now, I know this question oughta be on Conculture, but since I'm not on it... Which climatic zone do your conspeakers live in? How many seasons do they have? My Vaiysi culture lives in a Mediterranean-like climatic zone, with 4 seasons (sorry, I haven't made up the nams, yet). Hot in summer (up to 35°C - 95°F in the hottest regions) and mild in winter, but cold in the inland and on the mountains (it can snow quite often). Interesting, my culture's climate's not made up following my own tastes! Luca
