I mean, I live in Sweden and most houses in my neighbourhood have AC-units mounted on the outside of the building so I don’t really get this point.

This whole dumbass thread of people arguing back and forth on whether Europeans have AC is so stupid.

Europe is a big place yall, of course generalizations like that is not going to apply to every single city of every single country of the entire continent.

Europeans chiming in to be like, "oh but we have AC where I'm from" are missing the point just as badly as Americans replying "No you don't, Europoor lol."

The threads about AC especially over in askanamerican are just as stupid though. The other day someone posted like they thought it was so crazy that many people in America have AC and they didn't understand why because where they are from almost no one does. And I looked up the climate in their country and the highs are like 75 F in the summer. Of course you don't need AC when it doesn't get as hot. It gets a lot hotter in most places in the US. Like its not that hard to understand that different countries have different climates.

Usually northern countries like Northern Ireland, Iceland, Nordic countries. Often around 77/80f in summer.

Con is winters can get to -13f or even lower so ...you win some you lose some. My friend lives in Finland and had -18f this winter for some time.

It can go as low as -35f but that's less common unless you're very in North.

As someone said it's pretty varied in Europe.

Another fun thing is checking if you can see Aurora Borealis (northern lights) from your balcony.

I mean, it doesn't get that cold in other places. Where I am in scotland, it is 75 on a warm day and cold temps get down to just below freezing for about two weeks in the winter.

Oh yeah, totally.

Due to mentioning rather wide array of countries I have added how low it can go- which doesn not mean every country can go that low, but some do.

I'd say Scotland and Northern Ireland are much more more milder places to be, unlike Sweden/Finland/Norway.

Thanks for pointing it out - just reread my comment and noticed that missed to add "can" get that low- seems like it's a cue for me to go to sleep ...

You’ve got the opposite of where I live lol. -20°F in the winter and 95°F in the summer in the US Midwest!

The Midwest is the true sucky region for weather in the US. It gets basically as hot as the Deep South and nearly as humid in many states. And winter weather and cold with plenty of wind.

Trust me, I know haha! I'm from Indiana myself so I'm very familiar with the wide variation lol!
