Who calls 31C hot? The indoor home AC doesn't need to be turned on yet. I say 50C is hot...where I come from (or have been living for the past few years)...hehehehehe

actually, it doesn't feel that bad outside (YET), especially in the evenings. however, i sweat in my apt in the evenings. not enough windows, no breeze coming in.
it does bother me when people complained how hot it was in early june. the best is yet to come.
and this is coming from someone who is REALLY sensitive to humid weather (i'm from a dry climate) |

Yep, we have the Canadians in the Winter saying how warm it is and the Texans in the summer saying how cool it is.......
.............bravo, guys. Bravo. You come from places with higher or lower temperatures than Korea. We salute you. |

| I'm from Venus and my parents are from the sun so I'm used to iron-melting temperatures and sulfuric acid rain. Korean Summers are relatively cool by comparison. In fact, I don't even touch the A/C til late July, me. |

I think it gets bad when it's super humid. Today definitely wasn't humid and with the overcast I think it was fairly mild. My coworkers often complain about the heat using Celsius but as an American, I had no idea that that meant. I looked it up now.
From now on I will remind my coworkers it's not noteworthy unless at least 37C (humidity withstanding). Of course when it's 80F and humid, I want to fall over and die.  |

I am one of those people who was complaining about the heat in early June. Just cause it will get much hotter, doesn't mean it wasn't already too hot for me.
I start calling a day too hot when it's 25C (and humid). Feel free to mock me now. |

I was similar 4 years back. These days I wear smaller socks, more airy footwear, tops which prevent armpit skin from touching, etc..
I feel very comfortable these days, but lived in dread my first couple of years.
Koreans feel hot too, but they've learnt just to deal with it.
I also avoid coffee when it's hot, and only eat spicy food if I have rice to balance it. Coffee, alcohol and spicey food are 'warm' foods which raise body temperature. According to Chinese medicine, such foods cause the body to heat up. he heat makes it's way to the head, and can cause acne, allergy, sweating, blah blah blah(Google "yinyang foods"). |

I'm from Texas and it's plenty warm with the humidity. I have to have air moving on me or I sweat like a beast |

I used to be one of those guys. Raised in Florida and so I would actually brag about my ability to withstand the heat, as did my Ohio cousins about their ability to withstand the cold.
But something happened to me in the last few years. I don't know, maybe my ancestral genes are coming to the forefront, but now I really enjoy the winters, while some of my Canadian colleagues are complaining about it. Conversely, I now start complaining about the heat before May is already over. Thank God for AC. |

Yeah, I already do wear smaller socks and airy footwear and I don't drink coffee or alcohol period. I just deal with the heat by aircon and fans and I avoid the afternoon sun. But when I have to do lunchtime supervision at school there's not much I can do but cower in the shade.
Edit: Also, I had the same problem during summers in Canada compared to others, so I think it's probably just me. |

Here's an easy trick if you think in F. F=Cx1.8 +32. So, just take the C temperature, multiply it by 1.8 and add 32.
I was very proud when I applied linear algebra I hadn't used for years to figure that one out. |

I don't think linear algebra is what you used (unless you like using a sledgehammer to insert a tack into a wall). At my University, at least, linear algebra was a 300-level mathematics course (you know, multiplication of matrices and stuff like that).  |

I did multiplication of matrices in my Finite math course, it was one of the lowest level classes (that still was good for math credits).
Wow, I'm off on a tangent. My HS geometry teacher would be proud. |
