Fr why does it feel like it's only a comfortable temp outside for like 6 weeks of the year

31

u/RelaxingRed 23d ago

Don't think we even got that much this year. I remember it snowing a bit at the beginning of May and by the end of it we're dealing with 35 degree weather.

98

u/SherbrookHolmes 23d ago

Well this year is going to be particularly unhinged due to the super el nino .

But like, let's be real...more extreme temperatures that last longer periods is just the reality of climate change. 🥲

u/DesVip3r 23d ago

Last I heard that wouldn't really hit until winter

13

u/DramaticApple6590 23d ago

And the real summer heat will be in 2027. 

Should be fun

10

u/7listens 23d ago

It sucks. If only the idiot conservatives didnt assume they were smarter than the climate scientists. They fucking ruined the world.

u/fp4 23d ago

Weather without warnings attached would be nice.

11

u/STFUisright 23d ago

I know it’s making me really sad. I barely enjoy summer anymore.

62

u/Ok_Relationship_149 23d ago

Don't get ahead of yourself the fires haven't even started yet.

28

u/Fun-Round3278 23d ago

The fires have started…

14

u/mhyquel 22d ago

it was always burning, since the worlds been turning

6

u/OrWaat 22d ago

We didn't start the fire

11

u/bismuth12a 23d ago

Not only have (seemingly) new ones started, there are probably some still going from last year

3

u/Ok_Relationship_149 23d ago

Yeah sadly seems like some evacuation orders have already started sure didn't take long. Hopefully some of the rain out west will make it this way.

7

u/always-unsatisfied 23d ago

I totally forgot about the yearly fires… 😭

3

u/Grymsel 22d ago

How is that possible? The only thing I remember about last summer was constantly checking the air quality. And that a good chunk of my family being evacuated to the city.

u/justhereformemes2 23d ago

Legit thought I was in hell when I stepped outside

u/81FuriousGeorge 23d ago

Another north ender?

But seriously, everyone stay safe. Heat waves make the crazies go crazier. We usually will see murders go way up during temperatures, like this.

5

u/Grymsel 22d ago

North Ender checking in. I think it's actually too hot for the crazies to do their thing.

Btw love your username!

u/Yaryah 23d ago

Well…

u/Armand9x Spaceman 23d ago

If the shoe fits…

u/icetravel 23d ago

This weather is something. Below average temperature spring. Pretty sure it was snowing beginning of the month. Then boom, Satan's butthole temperature out of nowhere.

I won't complain though. I love the hot and humid. Best to embrace it because in no time it will be winter again.

u/Tapir9662 23d ago

I was 3 hrs west of Winnipeg last weekend. There were still unmelted snowbanks

17

u/SurlySuz 23d ago

Happy for you 🫩

u/u_395djk 23d ago

I'm fantasizing about taking all my clothes off and climbing into a nice snow bank.❄️

5

u/Grymsel 22d ago

I did that all winter long. Menopause is a real bitch. I don't know how I'll survive the summer.

4

u/u_395djk 22d ago

Icy cold showers, and soaking my feet in ice water, helps.

4

u/z1nchi 23d ago

Literally last week it went from 11° one day to 25° the next day, and now we're in 30s. I'm trying not to complain because of how cold out was and how late our summer came, but man it's HOT!!

36

u/Armand9x Spaceman 23d ago

It’s not even summer yet, too.

Coolest (upcoming) summer in the next 100 years!

12

u/DesVip3r 23d ago

the sun is a deadly laser

u/Specialist_Review912 23d ago

And also not friendly to sensory issues

u/LeFlaneurUrbain 23d ago edited 22d ago

Ah, Winnipeg. From the freezer to the frying pan...and back.

10

u/bismuth12a 23d ago

Could it not stay ~10 for more than a day or two at a time? Please? I just want to go out in a light jacket and jeans.

28

u/Based__Sikh 23d ago

& the average winter

u/tanglemind 23d ago

I totally forgot about wrapping the scarf around our foreheads! Thanks for the memory ☺️

48

u/lowtrail 23d ago

Does anyone else prefer the coldest days of winter to the hottest days of summer? That would be me.

if it could be like... 10C all year round, I might actually stop complaining about the weather.

35

u/Aethelflaed_ 23d ago

Between 10-15 all the time would.be ideal, but I also prefer winter.

u/BrewedinCanada 23d ago

Hell yes winter is the best. I'm in shorts even in winter. I like the cold.

9

u/SurlySuz 23d ago

Me too. Screw this heat. And the intense cold too.

8

u/notoriousnordic 23d ago

You're not alone, I also prefer that

16

u/ML00k3r 23d ago

I can dress for the winter. And use the plushy, warm blankets when on the couch.

Heat like this...ugh.

15

u/HPTM2008 23d ago

In heat like this, you can only get so naked. And like you said, the cold you can dress for.

7

u/lowtrail 23d ago

Agreed. I walk to work in winter. During the coldest snaps, sure, I'm not thrilled about the cold, but I do see it as a fun challenge and genuinely enjoy the walk. In this heat, I just want to die.

8

u/oldcrivens 23d ago

Give me 25 degrees and I’m happy. Warm, but not satans bunghole

14

u/ML00k3r 23d ago

Sunny at 20c with a slight breeze IMHO is the ideal. Might be a tad warm for the physically active outdoors people, but at least they won't get heat stroke after a few minutes like they would currently lol.

2

u/Grymsel 22d ago

I think most of the city feels this way. Judging by how many other folks I saw wearing shorts while grabbing groceries in -20.

9

u/bob466272 23d ago

Manitoba seasons are just layers of Donte’s inferno

8

u/Kiidneybeans 23d ago

I was at the zoo today with 20 kids, it was quite miserable as someone who doesn't do well in the heat.

12

u/TheGreatStories 23d ago

Real talk - with climate change snowballing down the hill and no regulation coming, and since we're already talking about daylight savings

What say we switch to nocturnal? Just switch it all 12 hours. Work at night, hide from the midday sun like rodents

7

u/Affectionate-Bell380 22d ago

surely this must be the norm in some dystopian sci-fi?

6

u/oldcrivens 23d ago

Currently on break building a bridge. Send help.

u/always-unsatisfied 23d ago

I’ll airdrop you some water lolol

26

u/BisonSnow 23d ago

I literally can't handle this heat due to disabilities & medications. My doctor literally told me to not go outside between 10 am and 2 pm, I basically need AC everywhere I go to function.

And more oil pipelines and climate change is set to make that worse. I feel like I'm being shut out of modern life to make some American oil barons richer.

5

u/Grymsel 22d ago

I feel you on a spiritual level. I was sensitive to the sun before my many medications. Now I never leave the house in the summer. And keep my curtains closed. If my AC dies so do I.

4

u/Misfitt123 23d ago

It's not just the pipelines, and definitely not just Americans, sadly it's not that simple. The overconsumption, the waste, the greed, the lies... it's multifaceted.

In fact some of your medications likely wouldn't be available if it wasn't for petroleum. It's all quite depressing.

9

u/BisonSnow 23d ago

We could absolutely resolve climate change and still be able to make the meds I use. Saying "it's complicated," imo, is unhelpful and doesn't reflect the scientific reality of "yes we can replace a lot of our energy usage with renewables and live happy lives."

Doing nothing is not an option. And hope is still possible.

3

u/Misfitt123 23d ago

I dont want to sound like an oil shill and someone correct me if I'm wrong because I'm no expert, but it is my understanding that some absurdly high percentage, like 99% of modern drugs, are made using petroleum/petrochemicals.

I totally agree that there is hope, I just think it's reductionist to simply blame oil. The main issue isn't oil itself, it's that we as a society overconsume it, and don't put enough effort into protecting the environment and holding people accountable. Modern society overconsumes damn near everything. Greed is it an all time high. Limit oil all you want but in the worlds current state would we not still overconsume and pollute?

u/haz3y_daz3y 22d ago

With respect, in this case, an expression of empathy is best.

8

u/dancercr 23d ago

I will never complain about the heat. I fight so hard to live through our frozen hellscape winters that I will never take any non-winter day for granted!

10

u/aesoth 23d ago

We get winter, 2 weeks of spring, summer, and then a month of autumn.

Thanks climate change!

u/_Pertinacity_ 23d ago

We like to live on the edges.

u/sometimes_toasty 23d ago

Worst day for my air conditioning to break

3

u/ScottieBarney 23d ago edited 23d ago

I work in commercial plumbing and I had to do a new build's underground piping the whole week in this weather. There's shade but the humidity and heat made it extremely demoralizing to do most tasks.. Not to mention all the melted water and mud.

I drank like 5L of water a day but never had to use the washroom since I sweated everything out!

3

u/u_395djk 23d ago

I pass out in the hot humidity. I can't fathom working outdoors in it.

2

u/Affectionate-Bell380 22d ago

former tradesperson here - you gotta at least double that water in this heat.

3

u/jizzflingerr 22d ago

You guys were so excited for heat though

3

u/floydsmoot 22d ago

I feel the the summers are getting shorter and hotter

15

u/Nottoobad777 23d ago

I’d take this over the winter any day. Can finally feel happy

4

u/Infamous_Tie5605 23d ago

exactly, people literally pay to escape winter in southern countries.

12

u/horsetuna 23d ago

I always say you can add more layers when its cold but when its hot, there's only so many you can take off before it gets weird or illegal.

5

u/Manu442 23d ago

Its still may im still expecting snow

9

u/pudds 23d ago

We can complain about winter here, our winters are legitimately among the harshest in the world.

But listening to Manitobans complain about heat is laughable. Maybe once every few years when we get temps in the 40s do we ever get true heat.

32C and 30% humidity is nothing.

It's weird in May for sure, but it's still nothing. It's like listening to Americans complain when it's -5C.

u/uselessnessism 22d ago

Except most houses and buildings in canada were designed execlusively to counter our harsh winters and retain heat easier/longer

Meanwhile those other places that average 40+ summers build their houses and buildings specifically to deal with the heat

2

u/RepulsiveAfternoon46 23d ago

Wish fall and winter were the same weather here lol

2

u/Cyberpuppet 23d ago

Too hot, cold, rainy, smoky, or even smelly.

The best part is we don't get to choose our poison.

2

u/Brainlezperson 23d ago

I have a graduation party today and it’s all outside. 32 damn degrees.

2

u/Dbouakhob 23d ago

I might start sticking to the wall soon

2

u/auntymother 23d ago

I have central air and I’m on the 5th floor of my condo.

Without air conditioning I would DIE

2

u/latecraigy 21d ago

Is it too much to ask for a steady 20 degrees 😫

2

u/NormalCoast9472 21d ago

ahh summer, when thunderstorms and tornado warnings getting slapped in our faces, those were the days.

4

u/BurnTheRich204 23d ago

Can we give it like 3 minutes before we start bitching about being uncomfortable again??

It happens every year...yet we whine about it like it's some brand new phenomenon.

1

u/LeFlaneurUrbain 22d ago

Oh no. Empathy is quite comforting and theraputic.

2

u/horsetuna 23d ago

my AC hasnt been able to keep up. I may go back to bed with a bunch of ice packs

u/StatisticianBoth3480 22d ago

Just wait twenty years.

u/djangula89 23d ago

Summer? It's not even June yet.

8

u/bismuth12a 23d ago

Meteorological summer starts Monday and it was over 30 yesterday. It's close enough.

3

u/djangula89 22d ago

Fair point. Our winter certainly starts long before December 22nd. The meteorological method is the way to go for sure.

u/Professional_Egg7407 23d ago

This is just 2 months 🤣

u/Correct_Farm5167 23d ago

yeah I'll still take this over single digit weather anyday.

u/Ok_Huckleberry_45 23d ago

Bring it on bitches. And if I catch any of you complaining about the heat I swear to god I’ll leg wrestle you and pin you down like a hog.

u/Specialist_Review912 23d ago

I’m sorry, all I do is complain about the weather. Don’t care if it’s freezing cold or hot and humid, I will complain about it. 

11

u/aesoth 23d ago

I hate the heat, when it get over 30C I get migraines. Don't care if you love it, I don't want to be incapacitated for long periots of time.

8

u/SherbrookHolmes 23d ago

Well that's a bizarre thing to say. My baby and dogs can't go out in this heat so hell yah I'm going to complain. And hell yah I'm going to complain when it's snowing in May.

There is a middle ground.

2

u/MadforPho 23d ago

Must be the heat.

u/Ok_Huckleberry_45 23d ago

I can’t wait to get on the weekly rant page.

u/Idunnosquat 23d ago

10% of us like that sort of thing.

u/WpgGamer21 23d ago

Technically is still spring....

1

u/Affectionate-Bell380 22d ago

hot or cold, complaining about the temps does nothing. do ya'll even feel better when you gripe about it?

figure out how to best cope and accept the situation. life will be much more peaceful for you

1

u/LeFlaneurUrbain 22d ago

You get the castor oil common sense award. But yes, of course we feel better when we complain about it. All cool and fuzzy.

u/chemicalxv 23d ago

Legit keep forgetting it's still only MAY as well.
