13°C? seriously?

[ratcreature]

I know weather whining is boring, and it's not that I'd want scorching heat, but I woke up earlier during the night because I was so cold (I haven't yet caved and turned the heat on in August). So in the spirit of inquiry and commiseration, a poll:

Poll #7737 is your weather fulfilling its seasonal obligations?

So, how's your summer so far? (provided you are in the northern hemisphere)

16°C and raining. And they told us August would be better than July. Ahahaha.

16°C would be an improvement here. But at least right now I have a blue sky with just a few clouds. It was drizzling yesterday though.

The forecast is a whopping 23°C on Sunday.

I am not holding my breath in anticipation, though.

Also 16 degrees and raining...and it's winter! Fortunately, this is normal for here. Unfortunately, summer will be much, much hotter and I like about 16 degrees and raining.

Well, I'd rather have this than 30°C or worse, but I wouldn't mind pleasant 20-22°C highs for a while with maybe a few days of a warm 25° thrown in. And while I'm at it, all rainfall ought to be scheduled during the night...

30 degrees in the daytime is the top of my comfort zone. 30 degrees at night or 40 degrees in the daytime (or worse) is not okay! I live in one of the coolest areas of mainland Australia (there's colder areas inland but they also get hotter in summer) so to get better weather I'm going to have to move to Tasmania. Or New Zealand.
