(Coastal) California still has the perfect climate compared to basically everywhere else in the US, even considering the "dangerous heat waves, extended droughts that threaten the water supply, and uncontrollable wildfires."
Writing this from the east coast where we have wild fires, 500 AQI days, *months long of 85+ degree days with high humidity. Pretty sure California got more rain this year than New York.
- jart 3y agoYeah the weather people in the Bay Area consider a calamity, east coasters would call Tuesday.
- rconti 3y agoI love these puritanical notions. Gotta be good, hard-working, cold-hardened folk! >Employed by the transcontinental railroads, influential writers like Charles Nordhoff contested eastern notions of Southern California as barren desert where “Anglo-Americans” would inevitably succumb to the “disease” of laziness.
- jasonlotito 3y agoThis is amusing seeing this sentiment posted here while just north of Philadelphia, schools are closing early because it's too hot in school. It's 85f right now.
- scohesc 3y agoAre there climate control issues preventing children from going to school? What I mean is - do the schools have adequate HVAC to keep the school cool, or is it for another reason? Where I grew up the weather in summer was typically over 85f. I assume maybe 20-30 years ago the temperature was lower or there were fewer hot days where you're talking about. I do think it's a concerning sign that instead of addressing the grander issue, the stop-gap solution is to throw more climate control everywhere though.
