I lived in Cyprus one winter. It would only go down to about 5-7C at night. I was freezing. Actually, I got sores on my toes because the tile floors were so cold in the apartment and I needed to start wearing my sandals in the house. It was a small one bedroom apartment. During the day it was fine, I had the windows open. At night, I'd run the two wall heaters, I'd wear a hoodie, and I'd be cold unless I was under the heater. To warm up the bedroom before going to bed I'd close the bedroom door, turn the heater on high, and leave it for at least 30 minutes. If I then went in the room and turned the heater off, within 20 minutes it would be cold again. In Canada it can be -10C outside and I've always been perfectly cozy indoors. In my Canadian apartment now, I don't even run the heat at night and it's fine, and I only partly cover myself with the duvet. In Cyprus I was using multiple blankets and was uncomfortably cold in bed, even with the heat running. I can only imagine people in Cyprus and other countries with poorly insulated homes hearing about the weather and Canada and fearing for their life. Meanwhile, it's December in Canada and I'm literally wearing shorts in my house now.
