My best Christmas ever was in Belgium. We were supposed to go to Germany for the day to visit distant relatives. A blizzard closed everything and instead I got to stay in a bathrobe and read.

Now I would have to go and pack a bathing costume. I am not a fan of climate change.

My city is expecting the first rainy Christmas in recorded history. The Earth is so screwed.

Forget White Christmas, the next generation will celebrate Wet Christmas instead.

I love seeing these comments that completely ignore the southern hemisphere

I love this bit:

There is apparently no suggestion that South America is fictional nor has the existence of New Zealand so far been questioned.

It's just fuck Australia in particular, everything else is fine. :-P

Santa on water skis always looked cool

[–] [email protected] 59 points 8 months ago (6 children)

Same here in the UK. Far too warm.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 8 months ago

It's storming and 60 degrees where I live.

It should be cold and snowing.

I'm glad I never had kids. Can't imagine how bad it's going to be in a decade or two when the shit really hits the fan.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 8 months ago (1 children)

These are the temps in the notoriously cold Minnesota as well. I'm unsettled and upset.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yup. I'm Northwest of you in Canada and I can see my lawn. I'm not supposed to see my lawn...

(At least until March at the earliest. We have a little bit of snow but not much, most of it melted)

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago

Same in Wisconsin, lawn is greener now in December than it was in June because we had a drought this summer. It's really uncomfortable.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 8 months ago

And reconsider if you want to have kids given the worst is almost certainly yet to come.

I'm living on the south coast of Ireland.

Normal temps this time of year should be between 0° and 10°C (32F to 50F)

It hasn't been less than 10°C all this week, it shows on my car on the way to work. Fucking scary how this is only the beginning and we are in no way prepared for this.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

Until the gulf stream gets fucked, then Ireland, the UK, and plenty of other places in Europe will suddenly plummet in temperature. Remember we're further north than the bulk of Canada... fun times ahead.

The infuriating part here is that there are still people the think climate change is a hoax, even though we see the first effects right here, right now. Last year was similar. I remember it being like 16 degrees on New Year's Eve. Fucking madness...

I live in the NW of the US. We've barely gotten to fall yet, let alone winter.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Just wait for Easter either with -10°C or with 30°C...

? This makes no sense without further context. Where are you? Is this normal? Why is this infuriating?

Are people really this self-centred they just assume everyone lives in the same place as then and should know? It's 35 degrees celcius here in Australia, a temp of 14 degrees looks amazing to me.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, bad post.

This is the current temp in south UK, been 14-15c last 2 days. Usually would be less than 0c now, often around -5 or lower in the past.

First Christmas I've seen people going from car to shop/garage in t shirts

It is 20C where I am. I don’t remember it ever being over 5-10 in this area, during December. I’m still wearing shorts, while usually going outside without a thick hoodie and a scarf used to be a stupid idea.

And on the flip side of that, the summer was so hot, that we all had to bunker inside, to avoid high humidity heat.

Laughs in Australian with regular +30°C Christmases

This is the coldest Christmas you'll have from here on... It'll only get warmer.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Not really how climate change works. While the average global temperature will trend higher, there will be colder and hotter seasons, each getting more extreme as they go back and forth. There will be hotter heat waves and colder cold snaps.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Wanna know a fun fact?

Air conditioning stops working effectively around 120F and decreases in efficiency as it gets hotter because the condenser cannot effectively discharge heat into the air.

Freshwater sources are drying up worldwide with absolute proof and nobody cares.

Take a serious look at moving somewhere moderate. The ultra wealthy are all building fortified compounds in the Michigan peninsula. Why?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

It's possible to engineer a condenser that outputs 60-80°C using exotic gases/coolant blends, but you're right, the standard residential A/C is going to be operating at around 48°C.

Had a discussion with the wife about the last winter. That there will be a last winter with meaningfully cold temperatures was something that she had not considered at all.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (5 children)

There won't be, climate is more complicated than that

It's 70 F here in Houston, Texas. It is also wet and disgusting outside.

It's raining in the Dakotas today, usually I'm ice fishing

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

11 in my neck of Tokyo. The last few nights have dipped below freezing, however. This probably isn't super weird for the time of year here, however. Going up to visit the inlaws for the end of the year, and it's currently 0 up there. Last year, I think we hit -15 whilst we were there, but this year it looks like the low is going to be freezing (which is rather warm for northeastern Japan in December).

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

It’s been like 10 degrees Celsius in my town and my parents‘ basement has been collecting water all day. Seems like perfect Christmas weather.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

It was wet and cold (10°C) during the day, dry and warm (12°C) at 23:15 when I walked the dog yesterday. It hasn't happend very often that in winter the night are warmer.

I have to admit, we had a christmas 2-3y ago where we worked in the garden, as it was the only dry and warm day for months.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well its 30°C here yeah.

Need context about how much your area have temperature usually

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

Used to be minimum 2-3C when I was growing up. With temps as low as -5c. Now it's 11C

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Freakishly warm today in the midwest too, raining warm rain too, very odd weather for winter season

It's ~20C year round where I live. There are Christmas lights on the palm trees. That's how we tell the season. Welcome to SoCal near the coast where the deep water shelf and upwelling dominate a microclimate within a couple kilometers of the coast while technically a desert with only a few weeks of rain in total each year.
