In 1985 when I arrived here, and until about the late 90's, we had long, intense winters with lots of snow, and fairly mild summers, with temperatures rarely getting above 30°C for more than a day or so.

Since then it's been getting more and more tropical. The last good, long lasting snow cover I remember was in 2010. There have been more and more winters with no snow at all (at least in the city), and summers that get dangerously hot and humid. Gee thanks, climate change.

Now that I'm a senior citizen with a multitude of health issues, I love the winters with no snow or ice, but despise the summers that can kill you with heat stroke.

Though I know that AC only worsens the situation in the long run, right now I'd give almost anything to have it where I live. Sadly, mobile units and "swamp coolers" don't work for me in my flat. Believe me, I've tried.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to autumn! Have a great day!

Ja das kann ich verstehen. Ich komme mit Wärme überhaupt nicht klar - der Sommer ist die Jahreszeit die ich sofort abschaffen würde wenn das ginge. 😅 In den nächsten Tagen erwarten wir wieder eine Hitzewelle mit Temperaturen bis 34/35 Grad in meiner Gegend. Das ist für mich die Hölle auf Erden. Und dazu wohne ich auch noch im Dachgeschoss eines Altbaus dessen Dachboden nicht gedämmt ist. Ich kann es kaum erwarten das der Herbst beginnt und die Temperaturen wieder gleichbleibend unter die 20 Grad fallen. 😆 Ich wäre am besten in Grönland oder Island aufgehoben. 😂

Technically, the last sentences are not correct.
Sweat is a defense of the body against heat. You sweat a lot during heat. Period.
In Europe the heat is indeed humid. You sweat just as much as in dry heat. The difference is that in dry temperatures, the sweat does what it's supposed to do: vaporise! Vaporising requires energy, which is taken from the heat. Result: you cool off.
In a humid environment, the air is more saturated. It's hard to have your sweat to vaporise, hence it's hard to cool off. This is also why it seems that you sweat more. But it's just that the sweat doesn't vaporise as good.

This is also why ventilators work. The moving air improves the vaporisation of sweat, hence cooking you off.

Yup, that's why it's like walking through hot soup.. really uncomfortable.

Welcome to the jungle, we grow kiwis now as well. Ok the tiny ones.

You are talking about Lower Franconia. Not Germany. Other parts of Germany, different climate. There is no ONE Germany. Not even when it comes to climate.
Other than that: Love your content!!!

Northern German living in the American Midwest: welcome to my world. 35° C bei 90% Luftfeuchtigkeit sind hier keine Seltenheit. Da der Schweiß dabei nicht verdunsten und den Körper damit runterkühlen kann, ist es auch gefährlich.
