Cold*. You can always put on more but once your naked, well you're naked.

*Limits apply.

[–] PineRune@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Just peel your skin off when you run out of clothes.

I want to comment a gif of a collosal titan but everytime I try to upload a picture on lemmy it fails

Idk sometimes it just doesn't work for me either. Posting from Sync for Lemmy on Android.

[–] TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

I wonder if it's because I'm using voyager

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 6 hours ago

What limits? Really, that could mean anything depending on where you're from.

[–] moonlight@fedia.io 10 points 1 day ago

≤1.5⁰ C total warming.

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Overcast and cool. Not a fan of bright sunlight

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago

My life has been a series of moving to cooler and cooler climates and so far I have yet to regret a move. That said, cooler climates in Australia so maybe I just haven't witnessed true winter yet

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Same, but add in a some patches of rain and I'm golden.

[–] Libb@piefed.social 7 points 1 day ago

(any)One that would not change as quickly as ours is changing.

[–] CrazyLikeGollum@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Cold. 65F (19C) should be a once in an absolutely never heatwave. Average annual temperatures should be closer to 0F than 0C. Fuck the heat, fuck the Summer, and fuck that stupid ball of plasma it rode in on.

Bring back snowball earth.

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Me, a Brit, in the north, currently experiencing our version of 19°C:

I was in Berlin last month during the heatwave. In comparison, 35°C in Berlin is much more tolerable than 24°C in the UK.

[–] redlemace@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As long as it does not go over 20°C and does not rain 24/7, I don't have much wishes

[–] TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

There is no correct answer but this is the correct answer

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Anything that is low humidity. Sadly where I live is 50%+ most of the year

[–] RainDog@piefed.social 2 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

The avg. relative humidity here is 73% and avg. temperature 29C (84F). Summers (rainy season) do suck, but in the winter, when it's cooler and dryer, that's pretty pleasant. It's too bad the winter months are smog months. So enjoying the outdoors has become a real exercise.

I do hate wearing lots of (or layers of) clothes, so anything cold or where there's non-stop rain for weeks isn't really an option.

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 22 hours ago

-5 °C to 15 °C is perfect

[–] Fondots@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Temperatures in fahrenheit, because that's what I think in.

Winter should be cold and snowy, I'd like there to be about a foot of snow on the ground at all times between December and February.

Spring should be about in the upper 60s-mid 70s during the day, and rain maybe a couple times a week.

Summer, I don't ever want the temperature above the 80s, and humidity should be low with a nice breeze. I also want the occasional really good thunder storm, often enough to keep us out of any sort of drought or burn ban, but not so much that we have flooding issues.

Fall I'd mostly like to be in about the 50s, cooling off towards the end of the season so that it's in about the lower 40s or upper 30s for deer season

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Cold as ice

[–] JeSuisUnHombre@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

Four seasons the old fashioned way when people were complaining about a long winter and short summer. I think those people are wrong and it saddens me that global warming made their wish reality

[–] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

Temperate climate, specifically warm-summer Mediterranean (Csb) or Oceanic (Do). Cool, wet winters and relatively dry, warm summers.

[–] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

70°F to 75°F year round would be peak weather for me. Hell, I can go upto 85°F but it must be dry

[–] lucg@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

What'd that be in Kelvin? Asking for a ~~lord~~ friend

[–] Delvin4519@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

Below 25C average daily temperature year round. Heat is just miserable.

[–] lucg@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

25 AVERAGE?! So like 15 at night and 35 during the day is considered not "heat" where you're from?!

Moderate. Most of the year should be spring or fall, with a few really cold days in winter and very few hot days (28C max) in the summer.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

One that’s not warming world wide.

[–] 418_im_a_teapot@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 hours ago

Sustainable and survivable.

A climate of mild paranoia.

[–] themadcodger@kbin.earth 4 points 1 day ago

I'm more or less happy with weather here in the PNW. Not that cold and wet in winter, not that hot and dry in summer. Of course with climate change, ACs are now needed and it actually snows in winter, but traditional weather patterns agreed with me.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 3 points 22 hours ago

arid and cool on average but very volatile (ie. the northern Great Plains)

[–] Perspectivist@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago

I’m pretty happy having four distinct seasons. I don’t like winter and snow at all, but I think suffering through six months of cold and darkness is exactly why the warmth and sunshine feel so damn good when summer finally comes. Also, with climate change, the climate where I live has - so far - only been getting better. I’m not saying it’s good overall, but it’s not all bad either.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Cold enough to see my breath in the morning, with rainy and cloudy weather. Short and mild summers, long winters (mid november through march) with occasional heavy but manageable snowfall that brings things to a stop for a day or two, and sticks around for a while. Some nice thunderstorms in the spring, colorful foliage in the fall with some chill.

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

About 10 years ago I was happy with 12°C when I used to work outdoors. Cold enough to work hard without working up a major sweat.

Nowadays, given how it is constantly humid as balls here now, I lean towards 10°C being a similarly comfortable temperature, even 8°C depending on what I'm doing

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Cold. Always between -20 and +10C, probably. Of course, you can't grow food very well in such a place...

At -30 doing basic outdoor tasks gets a bit more complicated, but if it's still I'd prefer it to +30 even so. I haven't experienced anything below -40.

Edit: So many fellow cryophiles in this thread, wow.

[–] kelpie_returns@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Not so cold that it snows and not so wet that it floods, but I definitely prefer it cold and wet.

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 2 points 1 day ago

Southern California weather baby, at least when it’s not in climate change mode.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Cold. Our AC was down part of this week. It was 96° outside (35.5° C) and 89° (31.6° C) inside. I had to go sit in the car AC or I was going to be sick.

If it's too cold, you can always put on another layer or another blanket. If it's too hot, it's miserable.

AC should be fixed permanently tomorrow.

[–] brachypelmide@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

My ideal one is either 14C sunny or 16C overcast. Anything below kinda sucks and everything above is hell incarnate.

[–] remon@ani.social 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Moderate, preferably with no or very mild winters.

We're getting there.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 2 points 22 hours ago

I can't call 100°F+ temps for weeks at a time moderate.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago
[–] Lua@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

After living for thirty years in oceanic climate, and now the last two years in subtropical and tropical climate. I definitely prefer tropical. It's nice to never worry about being cold and not needing a dozen layers.

[–] crimsonpoodle@pawb.social 2 points 8 hours ago

Make it 40-60f all year round with lots of green and rain and mist.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

For personal physical comfort? Between 23-30 (75-85) with plenty of rain & humidity, not dry air. Am ok with hotter as long as it's not too dry.

For the world? Well down here before the warming the summers topped around the same they do now, just fewer days of it, so almost 37C, with daily afternoon thunderstorms, and winters were longer (not long, but longer) and likely to have a few days below freezing most years, so I guess for emotional comfort I'd take that, thanks.

[–] troed@fedia.io 2 points 1 day ago

San Diego's.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

Warm and humid, with regular brief showers.

So, tropical.
