It made the news that Singapore was 71F today! Rare. Almost never. Haha

@skinnylatte you even use F-degree.
@veer66 yah I’ve lost myself
@skinnylatte „Sweater weather”, eh?
Around here, people will put on t-shirts and fire up their barbecues when it’s above 12°C and not raining
@slothrop people back home will definitely put on a down jacket from Uniqlo heat tech at 21C
@skinnylatte Oh, we look admiringly to the Northern Europeans and the Russians. They start wearing shorts as soon as it’s above zero, basically.
@slothrop @skinnylatte I am in this picture, and find it hilarious.
There's just... I dunno, a kind of funny satisfaction in seeing the absolute horror on people's faces during my morning walks, when they see me in shorts and a t-shirt, waving at them, while they have six layers of thick clothing, and are still cold.
@skinnylatte @slothrop Humans are beautifully strange and unique creatures!
@skinnylatte do thermometers even go that low in Singapore?
I guess indoors with the wicked air conditioning they do but outdoors that is darn cold for Singapore
@sumisu3 haha a friend once brought a thermometer to her aircon office and it was 8C so I guess you can dress up indoors
@skinnylatte Singapore and HK I always had to bring a jacket - to wear indoors.
Japan on the other hand doesn’t seem to know what air conditioning is. Saves energy but so little air flow as well. In the winter it is way too hot in the offices and in the summer it feels like a fan would be a better solution.
@sumisu3 I miss fans that mean business.
@skinnylatte the huge steel ones that can take your fingers off
@skinnylatte 22°!!! Panic! So cold lah
