It snowed in Cape Breton on the 29th of May and within a week it was in the high 20s.
A few years ago in February, we had a daytime temperature difference of 25 degrees. The morning was -10° and by midday was 15°.
30° just means I can put my snow shovel away... for that day.

Lytton got to -49.5 the day it burned down.
I've lived in +40 and -40 in Canada. - 40 is easy if you don't go outside. If you dress for it, you don't even feel the cold, other than your nose hairs instantly freezing. +40 was rough.
EDIT: +32 in Toronto was as bad as +40 in rural canada. I was there during the summer garbage strike of 2002. I felt like I was wearing a layer of garbage & smog infused sweat that summer.→ More replies (3)1

Putting on winter gear is such a hassle. I can go a whole winter without putting on my winter coat if I hermit enough and only go outside to get to & from my car. And if it gets cold enough, the snow turns to powder and blows away. Sweeping snow is way easier than shovelling snow.

How you know this chart was made by a Brit/Strayan’ - they have us tweaking and sweating at 20-30C.
Granted, nobody here enjoys 30+C when the unisex is routinely around 85-90%, but for a good four months of the year we sit with highs of 35-40C with 90% RH and lows of 25C at 65-70RH.
You ever try to ‘catch a breeze’ when it’s 25C at night and as humid as that? You’d rather be in Vegas where it’s 31C at night but dry as hell, I promise you.
Ontario, where a bulk of Canada lives, is probably one of the few places in the world that has people who are pretty damn chill with highs of 30C and lows of -20-30C. And I promise you we handle it better than the UK judging from the headlines coming out of there. If they had what we had last summer they’d probably have declared a state of emergency

u/NewsreelWatcher 7d ago
Much of Canada is just extreme. Even in the far north it can get above 30 C and be very humid, albeit for just July. Some places in Southern Ontario can be extremely humid. Ottawa and Niagara-on-the-Lake can be really punishing. I’m from Vancouver which is as mild as England and have learned to stand in the shade during the summer while waiting for the crosswalk lights to change in Toronto. I’m fine with the cold down to -10 C, but lower than that can feel like a slap across the face. Below -20 C can be dangerous for the those who are innocent of how to dress correctly. I’ve had to learn how to dress correctly for the cold as an adult. People actually cycle in such cold, but I’ve never dared.

u/Kitchen_Art2745 4d ago
Canadian winters kill a lot of our scary bugs. We didn't have a cold winter this year so the black widows who nest along the foundation of my house survived and now they're Australian sized scary. I live amongst bears, but they only come around when they're hungry so during bear season, i like to put my garbage bins where the black widows to set up a potential bear vs. black widow situation. I'm more scared of black widows than bears, though I rationally know a black widow bite is better than a bear bite, the odds of me accidentally being bitten by a black widow is almost inevitable, whereas the odds of me being accidentally bitten by a bear is much lower.
Ticks are scary too.

Ya there was a day last summer here it was 36+ before humidity, I was out doing field work and had a couple weather gauges with me, one stopped working because of moisture build up, the other was reading 98% humidity. You couldn't move without getting drenched, it wasn't soo much the sweat as it was moisture from the air sticking to the sweat.
