It's very hot in the US. Today at 2pm the temperature where I live will be around 29 degrees celcius. I googled ukraine's weather right now and it's 14C over there.

I thought you were going to say 35 degrees(Arizona, Nevada, Texas?) but you said 29? Where I am from that's a nice to normal day.

I live in louisiana, it's actually really nice today compared to most days since we're in that nice 3 days of fall season. I was just giving an example of why AC is always blasting here. Your comment backs up my point that it's HOT in the USA

Not going to argue with you about using AC in Louisiana. I think a lot of people just don't understand how fucking hot and unpleasant it gets in the southern states during summer.

If it was just heat, it wouldn't be as bad. But a good chunk of the "South" in the US is swampland. And that means 95-100% humidity.

That means that when you sweat, it doesn't evaporate. And it doesnt make you cooler. And the sweat then warms up to the air/body temperature, and further blankets you in hot... And you sweat more.

Some scarier numbers, mammals die without shelter in around 8 hours if the temp is 35°C (95 °F) in saturated (100% humidity) air.

I invite all these guys to live in a shotgun in Algiers (NOLA) without central air or window units for the summer and see how long they last.

Here in California, 35 is a nice day... in the summer, we get over 40C, sometimes over 45C!

Although, it's a dry heat - I pity our east-coast and southern friends... the humidity makes it feel a whole lot worse!

And also so very, very muggy where I live. I would love to open the windows but If i kept my windows open that long I am pretty sure the condenser in my refrigerator would break down.
