    Default Temperature wimps

    Hux and I are temperature wimps. It's been cold in England, but when it hit a bit over 60 degrees a few days ago, we couldn't stop complaining about how hot it was. I feel like a wimp compared to Californians. Anything over mid-70s and I'm reduced to a sweaty whining mess.

    I'm also not very tolerant of cold, though I'm much better with cold than I am with heat. I think I thrive best in the range of 50-60 degrees. I'm oddly specific.

    What about you? What temperatures do you like, and what temperatures can you not live in?

    I grew up with winters that hit -40C or lower. With consistent weather, I can adapt to -20C and last for a short amount of time before needing to warm up. The key thing is consistent weather. :/

    Heat? Not so good but I can manage it if I can not think about it. Working in a kitchen during the summer helped my heat tolerance.

    It was 110 yesterday afternoon and I was thinking to myself that the weather was awesome. Then it gets down to 80s at night and I freeze so much my teeth chatter.

    I was born and raised in California and I still cant stand the heat. Summer here is awful. 90+ and I start to complain... but I will say, I prefer California to some other places, whereas here it cools down at night (usually). If it's hot I cant sleep, I toss and turn and often have very awful nightmares.

    I dont know how I'll do Burning Man :[

    California heat is much better than Kentucky heat, but I love Kentucky weather this year! It's great! Perfect spring, summer, and autumn! I'm hoping for a snowy winter, too.

    I don't have much cold tolerance, but I love the cold.

    I adore the cold weather. My optimal temperature is anywhere between 40 to low 60 degree weather. I even love when it falls below 0 degrees here.

    I can't stand the heat though, once it hits 70 degrees I start to complain and heat will wake me up faster than freezing. I'm waiting for a new Ice Age that would keep my part of the planet in permanent overcast for a few centuries. Stupid life giving sun...

    We have really cold winters here (some days around 0 degrees fahrenheit), and the summers can become quite hot as well - sometimes upto 85-90 degrees fahrenheit. - and then there's everything in between.

    I can cope with most temperatures I think. Not really that much of a wimp, but surely extremes are extremes and not really that enjoyable.

    I'm usually fine in cold weather in Britain, it's just hot weather I can't stand. It's easier to do something, clothes-wise, about being too cold than too hot. I might complain it's cold, but that's just because I'm British and I have to complain about the weather.

    I can stand cold better than most people, it seems. Not quite as good with heat.

    Cold weather is my thing. Back in high school, I once walked to the bus stop and stood outside waiting for it in weather that was -51C with the windchill. This is the point where I mention that I didn't have a hat, gloves, or even own a winter coat (still don't actually). Everyone else huddled for cover where they could find it but I toughed it out by the road.

    Then there was the time I biked to Taekwondo in weather above 40C with humidity. Now I usually have no problem just taking the weather and not complaining about it, but I will admit that that nearly killed me.

    I don't look good in summer clothing, but I look reasonably acceptable in a nice coat and scarf and gloves so I prefer cold weather. I am great in hot weather as long as I have my wa-wa, but I look bad in t-shirt/shorts etc.

    You're in Englandland now. No need for that Imperial nonsense.

    I go outside topless when there's snow on the ground.

    I would have a ready answer, but spring time will come and prove me a liar.

    if I had my way, the temperature would be 75 during the day and 55-60 at night.
