What's the temperature where you are???

[Finchbreeder]

24C (75F) cloudy - rain that started about 8.30PM last night with a sound like a swimming pool being emptied over the roof has stopped now. 4.01PM As you can see the cyclone decided to do what they usually do, and go inland before reaching us.

Most of Aust seems to be in storm mode.

4:25 a.m. — 73°F on the island. On paper? Absolute paradise. In reality? Add 92% humidity, sideways trade winds ripping straight off the sea, and you’ve got yourself a damp, airborne refrigerator set to “mild suffering.”

Our blood has officially thinned to the consistency of coconut water, so we are freezing. Locals are bundled up like we’re prepping for a polar expedition—hoodies, knit hats, long pants, socks and shoes (a clear emergency indicator). Meanwhile, tourists are wandering around in string bikinis and I can only assume witchcraft is involved. It’s so cold people are running space heaters in restaurants, which feels both illegal and deeply ironic.

I briefly considered bringing the rescue tortoises inside to spoil them… then remembered they smell like swampy bad decisions and would absolutely spike my stress levels. And I keep forgetting chickens couldn’t care less about cool weather—yesterday I went full treat panic mode to “make sure they were okay,” because if I’m cold, logic immediately vacates.

Okay, done venting, it is just a huge swing, mind you- I have lived in arctic conditions down to -30F... but for us, these temps? bartenders are wearing sweatshirts in outdoor bars.

Sorry, I couldn't help laughing a bit at this as it's like where I live in reverse. We'll sometimes get temperatures in the high 60s or very low 70s °F here at the height of summer. I start to malfunction when it's that hot and about all I'm good for is lying on the beach in my pants, enjoying the cooling wind and occasionally jumping in the sea while all the tourists stomp past in multiple layers of wool and fleece and goretex

It really does make a huge difference what you're used to. Hope you get back to your usual weather soon!
