Why Are Women So Bitter In The Winter And Spring Times

Which type of winter wear is suitable for an year-long stay in Paris, i.e. leather or hooded coat, or both depending on the season?

It is raining in the winter. Temperature is mostly around 0° although freezing is mild in the winter. Temperature rises in the 15–20 at spring time and is slightly hot in the summer.Thus you need warm clothes in the winter and light ones in the summer.

Why do people in England wear summer clothes when it's rather cold?

Relativity.We had a fairly warm couple of days this week, and a few of us ventured into t-shirts and shorts/skirts. The students who come from the Mediterranean, India, other countries that are considerably warmer, are still in thick coats and scarves. Some of the Scandinavian students dropped the coats once it got above 3 degrees.When I go to Australia in the summer holidays, I'll wear a jumper and jeans in Melbourne and be boiling up in Sydney and Brisbane. (We did a month-long road trip from Victoria to Queensland - the temperature difference was incredible.) People that live there and experience these temperatures every day will be wearing multiple layers, because it's winter - no matter how hot it feels to us, for them it's colder than usual, and therefore requires cold-weather clothing.You can even see it in the difference between the north and south of the UK. I'm at uni in Nottingham at the moment, and I'm from even further north in Yorkshire. A lot of southerners and Londoners can't believe that northerners and Scottish students are managing to go on nights out with short skirts and no coats, or that they're wearing shorts in spring because it's sunny and the actual physical temperature doesn't matter.It's all relative. What's pleasantly warm for you might be unbearably hot for me, and what's slightly chilly for me might be near-Arctic for you.

Why does it get so cold in Chicago?

Considering that Chicago is at 42 degrees north latitude the weather can be remarkably cold in Chicago. Other locations at 42 degrees north include: Girona, Spain, Corsica, Rome, Italy, Skopje, Macedonia, Mongolia, North Korea, Hokkaido, and the Oregon/California border and for the 42nd parallel south you have Tasmania, New Zealand, Chile and Argentina. Chicago's winter seems inappropriately cold in comparison to several of those places. The French Riveria is further north than Chicago. There seems to be a couple of major reasons. First, Chicago has high winter humidity due to the proximity of Lake Michigan and that Chicago was built on a swamp. Second, there are no major barriers to impede weather passage between the Arctic and Chicago. Although the Rockies provide some protection for California and Oregon, Chicago has a straight line path between the Arctic Circle and the Loop. Nothing taller than the chain link fence on the Canada-North Dakota border. Other areas of the Midwest seem to miss out on one or the other of these factors. Thus, Iowa doesn't have the swampiness of Chicago. The UP of Michigan has water on three sides, so that lake effect snow, which actually warms the temperature, falls often. The other areas with less than optimal weather at this latitude (Mongolia, North Korea and Hokkaido) all have Siberia as a conduit for Arctic air masses.

Why do people hate cold weather?

I distrust people who say they like cold weather. Humans are not at all designed to enjoy cold weather. People who “prefer” cold weather usually discount the fact that we need to “consume more” to thrive in cold climate. We need more clothes, more energy/power, more heat, more light, more fire wood, more calories, more machine maintenance, more food imports, more exercise. In short, one needs to live in a wealthy society, with an adequate access to rare materials, food, energy and with a solid consumerist attitude to actually enjoy winter. After all, no winter lover could bathe without a running hot water.In today’s capitalist world, we import food from “warm countries” and do not care a jot that we can’t produce enough fresh food for our own consumption during the cold months. It’s always someone else’s resources and labor somewhere else. We just consume.Back in the 17th and 18th century, when Europe was still poor. An unusually long winter season meant revolutions, social upheavals, and deathly famines. European populations dropped sharply in those gruesome periods. A poor third world economy could not and still cannot “enjoy” a cold-weather life style. Today, top energy consuming countries are all big economies in cold climate. The world grows warmer and warmer and the sea level rises higher and higher as their love of winter continues. Would it surprise you if I point to a simple statistics that the Europe Union (cold territory) consumes twice the amount of electricity compared to India (which has twice the population of Europe), and that electricity consumption in Germany alone is one-third of that of India?
