✔️ European Reacts to Comparing British and American Hot Weather - Reaction For the First Time

[charlesbarnes]

Been 115⁰-125⁰ for weeks here in Arizona 🌵😊

I have lived in Texas most of my life. There's a meme going around about someone saying they're thinking about visiting Texas in August and "what's the weather like?" The response is "Have you ever been cremated?" That is legit the most accurate thing I have ever seen. No joke.

[BAYBAY_]

Do not do not do not do not do not go to Texas in August. The high temperatures mixed with the humidity is literally not safe for someone who isn't used to it and it is even unsafe for people that are used to it sometimes. I live in the south and I go outside in the summer and it's like hitting a brick wall. Most things in life you get used to, the heat with the humidity is not one of them my friend. To be clear the temperature goes over 100° more often than you would think

Heard someone say that what Brits consider a heatwave we Americans actively choose as our house temperature during the summers. And it's true. Europeans complain about 75 degree heat, in the south, people set their air conditioners to the mid-70s in order to stay cool.

It's not unusual in the south to experience 70-80 degree weather in December/January. And in the summer--July/August especially, it's NORMAL for temperatures to soar into the 100s. But what makes that heat worse, is the humidity.

If you want to know what it's like, Boil a pot of water. Soak a towel in it. Let it cool just until you can handle the towel without burning yourself (it still needs to be uncomfortably hot), wrap that towel around your head, covering your entire face. Try to breathe. This is what we live with for 3-4 months of the year. Every. Single. Day.

There's a reason we have a term in the states called death valley germans...

Because most european tourists cant comprehend how hot it gets in places in america. A family of german tourists in the 90s dissapeared in desth valley and the husband, after driving their rental through some hard dirt roads attempted to hike to near by military base for help. The van and the family where found several weeks later. The husband wasnt found till a few years ago.

Actually Texas just got hit by a hurricane and more than 1, 000, 000 are without power.

If an American tells you not to visit Texas in August trust them. They don't want you to be miserable on your visit. ❤

Texan here. Do not come in August. The best months would be March and April where the highs are only around 77° F (25°C). That is also when the wildflowers, including blue bonnets (the state flower), are blooming.

[jtspgs]

it's like i have told Europeans on Twitter/X, you don't have A/C because you choose to, we have A/C because we HAVE to.

[ravenmage]

It's funny to Europeans that we're so obsessed with air conditioning, but I live in California and just last week in the city I live in a man died because his AC went out and he suffered a heat stroke in his own house. He was rushed to the hospital where he died due to complications from the heat. It's no joke that we literally NEED air conditioning to survive during the hottest months of the year.

[CHIIIEEEEEEEEFFFFSSS]

There's a saying in the Midwest "it's not the heat, it's the humidity" 100° and dry isn't so bad. But the humidity in the Midwest makes it feel like it's 120°+. Your sweat can't evaporate and it's very deadly. It's called wet bulb.

[thehoodlen]

I checked the weather here in Phoenix Arizona the moment you asked if 100° is that common; it’s currently 101°F at 10am and it’s gonna be a high of 115°F later

[rightwingsafetysquad]

If Europeans are surprised by American weather. Keep in mind that most of the U.S.-Canada border is at a slightly lower latitude than Paris. Lisbon and D.C. are roughly on the same latitude. The remarkable thing is not how warm America is, but rather how Europe isn't a frozen hellscape 10 months of the year.

Also, he mentioned America being beautiful. That's absolutely true for our nature. Most of our cities leave a lot to be desired. And a lot of areas through the rust belt and Appalachia are downright depressing. All Americans should have to visit Appalachia, but non-Americans probably shouldn't.

Andre, we are not exaggerating when we say it's too hot in Texas in the summer. July and August are the hottest months of the year. Texas gets triple digit temperatures at that time of the year. I am from Texas and speak from experience. The first time you walk out into weather that hot it will suddenly feel like you can't breath as the hot air gets into your face and lungs. The roads and sidewalks are hot enough to melt the bottoms of a cheap pair of shoes. If you are foolish enough to go to Texas in the summer then at least make sure you always have a big cup of ice water with you. Always wear a hat and sun block while outside. It's very easy to overheat while outside walking around. When you travel to the US, go to the southern states in the early spring and autumn. Visit the northern states in the summer and early autumn. Winter in Florida.

I think people forget that although 1 of the top 10 hottest places are in North Africa, 7 are in the Middle East, Iran, and in Pakistan, and 1 is in Mexico, the actual #1 hottest place on Earth, based on highest recorded temperature and a average temperature over 110 F, is not in the Sahara, in the tropics. In Nambia, or in Arabia. It’s in Southern California, 3 hours drive from LA, and an hour from Las Vegas.

[judywood]

DO NOT go to the South in August. It can be very hot and hurricane season is usuallyJune thru November. You will likely book your reservations early to save money, and you do not want to be worrying about hurricanes during your vacation.

There was a heat wave in Chicago in 1995 That peaked at 106 degrees, but with high humidity. More than 700 people died over a 5 day period. The concrete and asphault in major cities hols the heat so that it does not cool off at night.

[laurahayes]

The best time to visit the USA is mid-to-late spring or mid-fall. It’s neither too hot nor too cold, plants are blooming, and there are festivals and farmers markets going on.

[derred]

People make fun of the US or are surprised that in some states there's air conditioning but the reality is in some places in California, Arizona, Las Vegas people die from the heat without it. And in older cities like Chicago where it doesn't get as hot it's still old buildings without AC and you have seniors who are living in them and it's dangerous for them. Here in Cali we have a heat wave now and they warn us about not walking dogs cause their feet will burn on the ground.

[nugz_cards]

Spring and Fall are the best for hot areas of the US

The problem with Southern heat over Western heat (Arizona, Nevada, California...) is the humidity. Your body cools via evaporation of sweat but the higher the humidity, the slower the rate of evaporation. So a dry heat is more tolerable since your body can cool itself. In the humidity, you cannot cool yourself so your only option is to go slow. This is why the South moves more slowly than the rest of the country. You have to go slow or die. I live in Mississippi (very humid) but I lived in Texas for a little while (not as humid). There are hardly any trees because they cannot survive. If trees cannot survive, you will struggle as well. To add insult to injury, no trees = no shade so you get heat from exposure to direct sun in addition to the ambient temperature. Try to avoid the South in July and August if possible.

Texan here. Late August/early September is hottest time you can come. Last year we managed to have a 55 day long streak of temps exceeding 100° with the record being 79 in 2011. If you want "comfortable" temps you wanna visit from late March to May or in October.
