I am mortified by how hot it is right now (reddthat.com)

The title says it all. It's November and I have yet to wear anything but shorts and a t-shirt. It's 25C outside and whenever I go for a walk I sweat like a pig. This time of the year I should be taking out my heavy coat, jeans and a jacket should be the bare minimum.

I am located in Athens, Greece where the weather is usually nice but not this nice...

It's like a daily reminder of the doom that has to follow. How are you coping with this?

I live in a colder part of Canada, usually it's starting to get cold(ish) here around now with snow on the ground and average lows of -7c (19f)

Right now it's 2c (35f) and raining... and the forecast for the week is much warmer than this, with highs near 8c (46f) for the next week.

Not that I'm complaining. I never got around to getting my snowblower ready yet this fall and my back hates shoveling.

You should be complaining. Small inconveniences like shoveling snow are worth having a planet that isn't too hot for our children to survive.

True, but I ran out of complaints this summer when it was stupid hot here.
