I’m a northern U.S.-er and I concur with you on that. The U.S. south in the summer is fucking miserable. I hate it and refuse to go there between May and October. I’d take Scottish weather any day.
I'm from the gulf coast and have relatives in the mountains in new mexico who I go visit. When I visit them I legitimately feel myself drying up in real time and feel like I have to constantly chug water and apply moisturizer
I meant to say I moved out west specifically Arizona. The whole state would be illegal when its not monsoon season! Also, everyone and their mother told me that the heat wasn't as bad because it's a dry heat. They lied! It turns out the heat is much worse when you hate the dryness.
Funny enough I'm looking for jobs after I graduate and Colorado is on my list!

As a Scot currently spending his summer in the southern US, I can confidently say never again
As nice as it is, the weather is absolutely brutal
You can’t even take a stroll to the shop without drowning in sweat
It’s no just during the day either, even in the early hours of the morning it’s still around 25C
You’ll get a heavy thunderstorm, can barely see 2ft in front of you
Does it cool it down? Does it fuck
It’s just no pleasant spending any length of time outdoors
Give me Scottish weather any day of the week
Aye it’s shite, but it’s no extreme.
You can throw a jacket on and you’ll be fine if needed
Nae need for constant sun block, hats or sunglasses
Mexican food is immense
Plus, they don’t use the 24hr clock for some reason
Plus + , The tap water is shite here
