That wait until August thing is really only true in Japan in the temperate zone, lol. Seasonal lag due to ocean water temp. Only other places I can think of that August is warmer than July is the UK and Ireland
True for the whole west coast of North America also. Directly on the coast the lag can be even longer. SF is warmest in Sept. for example.
I visited Michigan in March, and when I told people I was from Vancouver, Canada, many of them said "Ahh, so you know all about cold, right?!" And I had to tell them that Michigan was WAY colder than any temperature I had ever experienced.
Default I'm not a Grammarian
I 'm am in search of a story. I'm writing a precis that does not care to much about rules if punctuation,, spelling, and other way back dropping dribble that trickles down from the HIGH and self proclaimed. My editor tells me when I 4-git to cross a T . He tells me when I leave out a jot or tittle. I concentrate on what people in my wiring group never learned.
The unpublished teaching the unwashed, and un puncuated.
I'm not preaching to the choir. I'm just playing jazz.' in Chicago.
Scottish people say that it is 'roasting' any time that there is sun and the temperature in the sunshine feels even slightly warm. 16C is 'roasting' or 'boiling'. Nobody ever says that the weather is 'warm'.
Similarly, any time it's raining more than a drizzle, it's 'bucketing it down' or 'hawing it down'.
There is no middle of the spectrum when it concerns the way people talk about the weather here. We are a climate of remarkably few extremes (even by British standards in fact), but to listen to the people who live here, every day is an extreme weather event.
people who say "snowfall in APRIL? this must be some kind of record". overlooking the fact that +90% of all aprils have at least some trace of snowfall. same story every year.
British people who hear about big snowstorms / heatwaves in the US and refer to them as "freak weather". Would be freak weather for us, doesn't mean it is for them...
Spring weather in Paris is very predictable : a lot of rain.
However year after year I hear the same people here say , with UTTER surprise in their voice : "OMG! it's raining like hell! I've never seen so much rain!" LOL
For here deep tropics
When its raining and 27-28C (normal afternoon rain weather in sea level deep tropics) in like 4 PM and people here says "its so cold cold cold". even some say like "when will it snows (lol)". but when its sunny and only 22-23C in like 7 AM people says "its so hot already"
rainy season = winter
dry season = summer, infact the coolest nighttime lows are far more common in this season!!!
thats what like 80-90% of Indonesian think.
In general world
"but its a dry heat!!!" Surely 400f Oven is dry heat!!!
"in pre-spring (feb-mar in us/europe), "can't wait for DST and still light at 8pm". when the DST On, same people say "late sunset and cold, not a good combination" (even I saw that words aswell in the old unhappy thread)
for world climates, its when britons say "US is always hot" in reality snowfall and below 0F is always existent in many of US (esp. the north) states' winters.
and the dumbest think is, relate "GLOBAL WARMING" with every weather anomaly.
