We always took jackets, jumpers, shirts, trousers off 
Well...maybe not the shirts
At 45C people would be dropping like flies.

well 30 is positively hot here. Hardly ever gets above that, and I wouldn't want it to either. 24 is nice, anything above (or below) is not.

It's about 96°F here, and I've skateboarded all over the damn city today! At least you guys get to sit in offices with fans or A/C. I'm in California, and we have to save 20% electricty, according to my parents. That means no A/C, all windows open. It's cooling off now, but it's not gonna go down too far. Let me get my little converter out here... 86° there?! That's like a warm day in winter time here! Not the middle of summer! It's 35.6°C on you weird British people's thermometers. hehe. British people are weird!

Blame the French! they came up with metric units. We were fine with pounds/ounces, miles/inches etc until they came along with their kilos and grams, kilometres/centimetres etc.

you yanks can talk! not mentioning that fahrenheit is totally screwed up, i hardly ever hear americans using fahrenheit when it goes below freezing, you end up using celcius instead!

hehe, here we go again! actually, pounds/ounces came from France, miles/feet/inches came from Italy, and fahrenheit obviously came from Germany. Britain can't do **** by itself. most of europe used pounds, ounces, miles, feet, etc. until metric came along.

That's because it doesn't get that cold in 99% of our country!

Hot?!? Hot, you say? Aw, quit your whining! It's all relative & could be worse.
When I first got to Saudi for Desert Shield, it was over 130F outside in the daytime. We didn't have thermometers that read over that, so don't know how hot it really was. There was no inside to go play or cool down in. And at night it would cool waaaaaayyy down to 100F.
After a week or so we aclimated to it. But then the night time drop in temp made us feel cold. I'll go to my grave remembering the look on the sweaty faces of the lads arriving at midnight from Europe (where it was 80F) and their seeing us running around with wooly caps and parkas on shivering because we felt chilled to the bone with night time lows in the mid-90's.
Of course, we were 101st Airborne (Air Assault!) and we were nuts anyways.
Round 2:
Got here originally, before I got out, via a "short tour," barrk.
Otherwise, like to keep my inside the walls visits limited to as
few as many hours as possible.
