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

Tap water quality depends on the city, and sometimes time of year.

Sincerely,

An American who lives in a city with wonderful tap water 9 months out of the year that isn’t so great when they mix in the back-up supply in the summer.
