So it's been almost 30 degrees celcius here in Windsor Ontario the past 3 days and I've quickly been reminded about how much I loathe the weather here. I hate the heat and I loathe the humidity which seem to go hand in hand here. I don't believe we've ever hit 30 without having a humidex of 100% cranking the temperature to 35 or higher. It's unbelievably uncomfortable in every aspect especially considering I walk almost 45 minutes to work every morning. I can't think of anything I hate more about walking to work than literally dripping in condensation the second I exit my house.
I feel like I was especially spoiled last year being in Dublin because the temperature may have hit 27 celcius once and otherwise peaked around 24 or 25 which IMO is pretty perfect. I was actually able to comfortably walk around every day in a t-shirt and jeans without dripping in sweat like a gross pig unlike living here. Also, the winter there was considerably less cold than what we experience here which isn't my biggest issue but it was also quite nice. I didn't wear a winter jacket at all last year. It was honestly the best weather I have ever lived through even considering the amount of rain I endured there. It's only been 3 days of this extreme heat and I'm already contemplating how the hell I'm going to get out of this in the future. My original plan was to take the Working Holiday experience in New Zealand because the opportunity is gone after I hit 35 next year but unfortunately, covid19 has pretty much nullified any opportunity I had to fly to New Zealand. Even if everything opens up prior to my birthday, I can't say that I'm entirely comfortable with the idea of cramming myself on to a congested plane. In my experience, planes are pretty much cesspools of sick people and germs. Every time I flew while in Dublin I swear I could hear the echos of coughing and sniffling ringing through the entire plane. It's just not a comfortable experience without considering this stupid virus. So, with all of this taken into consideration, I'm thinking about making a move to the east coast of Canada. Newfoundland, PEI, and Nova Scotia are all pretty enticing to me. The summers there are shorter and considerably less warm than here in Ontario. The downside would obviously be the horrific winters but I can take a bad winter anyday over a brutally hot summer. It would be such a lovely experience getting to do some travelling around the east coast of Canada. The east coast seems so peaceful and picturesque, I think I would absolutely love living there for a while. Will I actually go through with it? It's a little too soon to tell but I can tell you that I won't be living here for much longer. I just can't physically handle the summers here anymore. What do you think? Should I move to the east coast y'all? HAPPY VEG
