A dry heat is better than humidity, though. At least in dry heat you feel like you're breathing. When you hit 35C+ with high humidity, it's really disquieting because your lungs aren't quite sure they're getting oxygen. I'm good down to about 0C, it's those negatives that kill me. Yeesh. Talk about frigid...

Re: Team Hyperborean

[amethystina]

That's very true. And I live next to a kinda sorta ocean (like ten minutes away) so it's pretty humid. Which just makes the heat even worse. I can survive anything between +25C and -35C since that's the expected range of temperature where I live. But warmer or much colder than that I'm gonna get a wee bit cranky.

Re: Team Hyperborean

"Kinda sorta ocean" may be the best description ever.

Re: Team Hyperborean

[amethystina]

Well, it's brackish water so I'm hesitant to really call it a part of the ocean xD I live by the Bothnian Bay (right now at least). Which probably means that I should say "kinda sorta sea" instead. My bad! I forget the difference every now and then since we're lazy in Sweden and just use one word to describe both and I keep forgetting that I can't do that in English just because I feel like it xD

Re: Team Hyperborean

I admit, I kinda just use whatever word pops to mind first when it comes to bodies of water I can't see the other side of. And growing up for a formative several years in Texas, lots of bodies of water become gulfs (thanks to the Gulf of Mexico). I figure this is why I'm not the geography major in my family. That, and my insistence on archipelagos and fjords featuring heavily into any map I make regardless of geographic probability.

Archipelagos and fjords are amazing so you'll hear no complaints from me! Geography was one of the subjects I could never seem to fully grasp in school.

Those who can read maps are a special breed. I consider them about on par with soothsayers. Whenever spuri comes and visits me, we have all these exciting plans for places, I get us like three quarters of the way there and then shove the map at her so she can navigate in a foreign country in states she's never been to before. I just obey directions until we magically wind up back at my place. It's magical. And a little disgusting.

Re: Team Hyperborean

[amethystina]

I can read maps fairly well - although I do it kinda like a military op with very strict rules and regulations - but I suck at remembering where certain countries are on the world map and I'm really not good at the whole why things look the way they do. Like fjords.

Re: Team Hyperborean

[azurian_defiant]

World geography is definitely a failing of mine. I can usually guess what continent something's on, but actually finding it? Not so easy. Having a sister who's a geography major and a good friend who's a geology major makes it easier to remember what happens because of what. Fjords are glaciers, I think. But anyway, to bed with me.

YOU CAN DO IT! *WAVES POMPOMS*
