Why on earth is it so cold?

[seireikhaan]

Its been hovering around fifty degrees F for three days now. I'm taking summer classes, and well... I'm hoping that summer actually gets off its lazy rear and arrives. It had been peaking near seventy for about two weeks straight, and now its decided to knock things down a few notches. Knock it off and give me warmth!

It's because there is a quota for world heat, and as it is currently mid 20s here in at the end of autumn we are eating into your quota. Many apologies.

Your weird numbers aren't telling me much (unlike Psycho's) but it's quite a bit too cold here as well, and the forecast isn't great either so far.
My main gripe is that this costs money, I already had to pay >300€ for heating last year and now I'm almost at the same numbers...

Its global warming

[Zradha Pahlavan]

Global warming actually is thought to cause wild temperature fluctuations (either hot or cold) so that is possibly true.

Of course, it really isn't that cold out.

Yes, it's not been that great here either. Hovering around 10 degrees Celsius (you re-calculate it, obnoxious Murikans). But I went out to dinner with two Egyptian Arabs who are flying back...about now, actually, and they said that the weather in Caïro was around 42 degrees Celsius, which is insane for May.
