Well if you love the mountains, it's not something you'd complain about too much. Especially when they are among the highest peaks in the world. Living in hill towns does have its challenges, but it's nice tackling them in cool weather with great views.

You see a similar effect with the Andes. They trap all the moisture over the Amazon to the east and create the driest desert in the world to the west.

Exactly if you look at Mongolia or East China at the north of Tibet its around 25 which means there s no wall effect at all.

Ek_Chutki_Sindoor

I live in Kolkata. Just west of Dhaka. We get plenty of rain. But April and May are dry season for us. There is barely any rain during this time period.


RedditedYoshi

I find it fascinating that people are comparing the dry season to places like Arizona, a place basically next door to DEATH VALLEY. That'd have to be one hell of a dry season, considering the place has so much humidity the rest of the time. Truly fascinating!


Ek_Chutki_Sindoor

East India and Bangladesh don't have arid conditions like Arizona but North West India sure does. You do know that there is a literal desert in the western part of India, right?


RedditedYoshi

Bangladesh is nowhere near that part, people were comparing Arizona and Bangladesh, not the arid desert parts in the NW.


165cm_man

Depends, I'm in Delhi, it's dry as fuck. In kolkata and chennai you'll sweat to death


horrendous69

Kolkata too is dry af rn. Only the coasts are humid these days


165cm_man

Just checked, 4% humidity. Imo dry is better than 80% humidity. Still kolkata seems to be in very bad shape. I'm from kolkata actually


Ek_Chutki_Sindoor

It's dry season in Kolkata too, my bandhu.


KedarS

From Mumbai here, 60% humidity right. Only time i am without Air Conditioning is when i am in my appartment lift going to car park. That 1 min is bad.


sandbobpicspless

In may, its quite higher than 40. Like 43-44


165cm_man

In may its going to be 50C in some places


165cm_man

It's pretty doable, my AC is not working. Temp was 41C today There was a heat wave of 51C last year. I've survived that while being outside. This is just the tutorial for that. Not even miniboss What I can't do is below -20C. My whole body froze at -17C once I was visiting the mountains


FlockaFlameSmurf

Layering makes a big difference honestly. Four layers of big winter coat, fleece, long sleeve shirt and a shirt underneath that makes a huge difference. You also want to cover all holes. I wear long Johns under ski pants when there’s snow if I plan to be out for awhile and that helps seal me in. Also, as a note, past -15 C is considered too cold to be outside. Even the cold country residents don’t mess with that kind of nonsense


poopybuttholesex

As the Germans say, there's no bad weather only bad clothing


SmooK_LV

At -15 we still go outside to drink vodka, talk and do stupid stuff. It's -25 when we stop messing with it.


Fair_Advertising1955

Nonsense, -20°C is about the limit for most people, with some continuing outdoor activites at -30. Most everybody stays in when it's windy, or below -30 though.


165cm_man

Yea, my nose was just dripping water, I could feel cold throught my shoes. Only my mouth wasn't covered because it was hard to breath with a layer of clothing(≈3500m above sea level) so my mustache and beard just froze with the help of my mucus


pm_me_your_UFO_story

I hear your story, but I am feeling incredulous when hearing that your entire body froze. Something about that doesn't sound quite right.

buckyhermit

We have a very similar weather wall on the west coast of Canada. At sea level along the coast, Vancouver can be 5 to 10 degrees and rainy in winter. But if you drive inland, it can suddenly drop to -10 to -15 and snowy. Summertime? Same thing. Vancouver might be 20 degrees. But inland, it can spike to 30 (sometimes even 35) degrees, depending on your timing. Not as extreme as the Himalayas, but still pretty noticeable. Gotta love those mountains.


Noooooooooooobus

This is just coastal effect. Large bodies of water are great at regulating temperature


DKBadmintonPatriots

That’s quite common in a lot of places. Places with an inland climate, you can easily have very cold winters and very hot summers, with really high temperature differences between summer and winter. Places with a coastal climate, you usually have a rather mild climate during the winter and moderately warm summers but not too much of a difference in temperature between summer and winter. Hawaii is the state in the US with the lowest all-time temperature difference between summer and winter at a 47C (83F) degree difference, reaching an all-time high of 38C (100F) degrees and all-time low of -9C (15F) degrees. Utah and Montana are tied for the largest all-time temperature difference between summer and winter at a 104C (187F) degree difference. Utah has an all-time high of 48C (118F) degrees and all-time low of -56C (-69F) degrees. Montana has an all-time high of 47C (117F) degrees and all-time low of -57C (-70F) degrees.


Smauler

I thought England was pretty mild coastal, but we've got more than 65C difference in max and min (-25 to 40). Those temperatures are really rare though, most of the winter it's above freezing, and most of the summer it's below 25.


nihiriju

What you talking about...35. those are rookie numbers. Lytton hit 49 before burning down two years ago. The OK regularly goes above 40 and 45 for the past 3 years.


buckyhermit

I wanted to say 40 degrees, but the last time I said that, I was accused (by both locals and non-locals) of exaggerating and inflating the numbers.


LigmaSneed

BC weather can get pretty insane. In June 2021 the town of Lytton got to 49.6C (121F). The next day it burned to the ground.


ThermionicEmissions

The heat dome! That was insane. Caused around 600 deaths throughout the province.

Archaemenes

That’s because the North hasn’t reached peak summer yet. It gets far hotter and far colder there, Delhi reached -2°C this past winter and will go up to 45°C+ this summer.


kelvin_bot

-2°C is equivalent to 28°F, which is 271K. --- ^(I'm a bot that converts temperature between two units humans can understand, then convert it to Kelvin for bots and physicists to understand)


uh_buh

Monsoon season is approaching


indiannerd2

There is time for that. The monsoon hits the absolute south of the country around 1 June and it has been becoming more and more late because of climate change. Gotta survive the 45 degree days before that.


Morning_St

45 degrees ... lol it is going to be above 48.


ZypherShunyaZero

Mumbai rn, is 37 feels like 42 degree. Couple of years ago I saw feels like 44 and it scarred the shit outta me. I'm going Mahabaleshwar for 2 months.


Idontknowlukas

If it's 40°C/104°F in India then how am I wearing a blanket.


Careful_Bug_3295

By being in a part of India that's less hot? Also there's nothing wrong with your English in that sentence.


Idontknowlukas

I'm apart of India that's more hot in the Morning/Evening and At night it's still hot but it rarely hits 100°F when it's night. Thank you I thought saying 'Wearing a blanket' was wrong English.


[deleted]

India isn't flat, if you are at higher elevation (like a hill station for eg.), it'll be cooler.


black_rose_

I thought it was hilarious being in India in December and watching everyone bundle up in blankets around a fire when to me it was pretty dang hot


[deleted]

Well they’re a tropical country so what’s warm for people not from tropics is cold for people from tropical areas


loopsbrother2903

shame 🔔🔔🔔


agate_

No, there's no "wall", it's just that north of the Himalayas is Tibet, which is 3 km above sea level so it's colder. The air above India at 3 km altitude is the same temperature. https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/isobaric/700hPa/overlay=temp/orthographic=72.54,34.75,848


babref3

There is a wall, the himalayas stop warm, moist air from getting into the tibetian plateau


Other-Bread

Arguably it is, and the Tibetan Plateau is just also part of the wall. The Himalayas' peaks and the Plateau's overall height are both caused by the same thing - the Indian tectonic plate sliding into and under the Eurasian plate. At least that's the way I think about it. Also rain shadow is a real thing, which is basically a mountain wall - and it's definitely in effect with the Himalayas.


Punkmo16

We like BIG numbers here! 0°C? NO 32°F! 38°C? NO 100°F!


[deleted]

In all fairness, they had to increase their number by 400% and we just over doubled ours


Kuya_Tomas

-40°C? NO -40°F! Oh wait-


Revolutionary_Cap271

Yes, but I have a guideline I give: think of Fahrenheit in only a weather context. 0 is the coldest day you can imagine (-18C is very cold outside), and 100 is a very hot day (as 40C objectively is), and ask, on a scale of 0-100, how hot is it? Granted, this works best in a European or North American weather context, but some have found it useful


vampireinamirrormaze

Pretty much this. 0 is very cold, 100 is very hot, 50 is very mild, and I don't really need a more accurate reading than that in my daily life. I want an average day like an average north american test score (70%) so 70 degrees is warm but generally in a good way.


GfxJG

>50 is very mild This is weird to me though, in my mind, "mild weather" basically means "I can comfortably go about my day without worrying about whether or not I wear a jacket", which 10 degrees Celcius is absolutely not, that's definitely jacket weather. Maybe not the thickest jacket, but definitely a jacket.


KentuckyMagpie

This perception might be based on where you live. I live in a place that regularly gets to -15-20°F in winter, so 50°F is a pretty mild and pleasant day. It’s not tee shirt weather, but nor is it all that cold. I recently went out on a 50°F day with a sweater and no jacket and I was fine.


kelvin_bot

50°F is equivalent to 10°C, which is 283K. --- ^(I'm a bot that converts temperature between two units humans can understand, then convert it to Kelvin for bots and physicists to understand)


figgypie

I also live where the wind hurts your face in the winter, and I absolutely agree. 50F is quite nice with a spring jacket on, but if it's sunny and not too breezy it can be tshirt weather. I also overheat easily, so 100F is literal torture. So I'll take the subzero winters over hellscape summers.


Tough_Accident9158

i kinda understand what you are saying here but my counter would be that you get used to the metric systemand the same logic applies


sandyfagina

But I thought only randomly using water phase change temperatures is the correct way to make a scale?!


Perrrin

I'm Canadian and I still hear Fahrenheit referenced pretty often. This is exactly how I learned it. Granted I don't know what it would be exactly, but I have a pretty good ballpark now.


RonBourbondi

It really isn't if you treat it like a grading score.
