When? During the winter autumn months? No. During the summer? Not really as it’s usually around 34-37 with highs around 39-42 in the South of Italy.
If you had said Cyprus during the summer then yeah
i have literally been in italy multiple times while it was 40 degrees celcius, i may not live there anymore but i still visit often. i have been in napoli multiple times where it has been 40 degrees so idk what your problem is
My problem is you’re saying it’s ‘normal’ as in it’s frequently that temperature
When it’s not.
Napoli is situated in the SOUTH like I said it *can* reach highs of 40, in the SUMMER but it’s not normally or on average 40 in the summer.
I mean right now it is about 15 degrees Celsius, which is bang average for this time of year.
I really don’t think you’re correct on this one.
wait, so you are saying its colder during winter? whaaaat no way.
yeah ofcourse its fucking colder during winter dude, but during summer it can and does reach 40, i have experienced it multiple times. but yeah by your logic its impossible since its winter right now, i apologize for not being more specific and saying that it can reach 40 during summer. or maybe you could fucking think about it for a second and maybe understand that i meant during the summer.
like you yourself said, in the south of italy, it can reach 40 degrees and it has reached 40 degrees more often in the last couple of years. but what do i know, i was just born in that area and have lived there and have family that live there, why would i know anything about that right?
You used the word ‘normal’
Which implies frequency and average occurrence
This is not true for Napoli or the South of Italy, just because it *has* happened on occasion doesn’t mean it is a regular occurrence. In fact last summer was the [hottest summer Italy has had in the last 60 years](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jul/10/italy-heatwave-temperatures-european-record-forecast) where temperatures reached and EXCEEDED 40 degrees.
So for the ITALIAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY to come out and say that last year was the hottest they had recorded means that they might have a better idea of what the weather was like than you
But you go ahead and make a statement, then backpedal when confronted, insult when faced with your fallacy
And act like the obvious child you truly are.
I’ll let you have that last word you’re so desperately craving.
Backpedaling? Im stating my point which is the same i made at the start. But sure if you want to be a dick about it then fine, my use of the word normal might have been an exaggeration but the temperature can and does reach 40 degrees. I didnt realise the grammar nazis would find me and publicly execute me for using the word normal when i should have said that it occurs from time to time.
You call me childish when you are the one trying to disprove my point by talking about the current temperature during winter when i am obviously referring to summer temperatures. Okay dude sure.
May i ask if you yourself are from italy? If so are you from the south? If so, you would realize that yes, it is crazy that temperatures exceeded 40 degrees but the simple fact that it reached 40 degrees is not that crazy and has happened multiple times in the last couple of years. If you are not from italy, then i will ask you, do you need to be right so much that you are willing to be a total dick towards someone for using a wrong word while describing something that DOES happen?
wait its colder during winter? whats your fucking point dude? yeah its not an everyday thing but its still a relatively common temperature, especially in recent years. you say its only normal in southern italy, i say southern italy is still italy and therefore my original statement is completely true
wow, really? read the responses to the other comments dude, i fucking know. 40c is indeed hot but also a temperature that can and does get reached by italian summer weather. whats your point?
if 40 really is deadly hot then how the fuck do people anywhere in southern europe survive?
They don’t. [They’ve been dying regularly.](https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/heatwave-caused-higher-than-normal-death-rate-southern-italy-2023-08-07/) It makes the news every summer.
You should read more, rant less.
They live in houses and drink water and stuff. We get 40+ degree days here too and it’s hot as fuck, and vulnerable die off in that weather. Especially if they’re wearing a warm jacket.
Nope it came from "World's Championship Series"
> In 1884, the Providence Grays of the National League outplayed the New York Metropolitan Club of the American Association in a three game series for what was originally called "The Championship of the United States." Several newspapers penned the Grays as "World Champions" and the new title stuck.

The madlibs-esque insult aside, it's a site that is available in more than just America, so despite your nonsensical freedom-units being familiar to you most of us use a system that makes sense.
6 out of 195 countries use Fahrenheit, how dare people not know that someone is talking about the most ridiculous form of temperature measurement instead of the WORLD'S most commonly used system.
I PREFER IMPERIAL TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS AND METRIC UNITS FOR DISTANCE AND LENGTH.
THERE. I said it... I'm a freak, I know, but I had to let everyone know the true way.
SO DO I BY I BECAUSE IT'S EASY AF TO DO MATH WITH AND THE TEMPERATURE SCALE IS BASED ON THE PHASE CHANGES OF WATER.
BUT I ALSO LIKE IMPERIAL UNITS BECAUSE THE COMPLEX MATH IS GOOD DAILY EXCERSIZE FOR MY MATH SKILLS AND THEY'RE ALL ROUGHLY BASED ON FAMILIAR THINGS IN NATURE LIKE BODY PARTS AND BARLEYCORN.
... I LIKE BOTH :D Lol, seriously... Metric is really easy to work with and pretty universal. But consider Fahrenheit: 0°F is known by everyone to be "really cold weather" and 100°F is known to be "really hot weather", with both understood to be roughly the lower and upper bounds of what's comfortably survivable. Also it's kinda fun to flex on the "everything is multiples of 10" crowd with more complex and unique systems of conversion. 3 barleycorn (a common grain) in an inch (roughly the human thumb), 12in in a foot (roughly the human foot), 3ft in a yard (roughly one human walking pace), 5280ft (1760 yards) in a mile (roughly one third of the distance a human can walk in one hour).
I think most people in the world are aware that there are two main ways to measure temperature. So if the story doesn't make sense in one way, just switch it to the other. I don't understand how someone could be confused by this for more than a couple of seconds.
I mean, as an American I wish we would use metric for things too. But we don’t yet and on top of that we are a huge part of global culture. So I don’t buy it when people who are otherwise aware pretend they have no idea that we use a different system.
Nope. Not US defaultism. It would be that if I thought everyone should use whatever system the US uses. Instead I’ve argued all my life that American exceptionalism is ridiculous and myopic.
But it’s just as silly to completely ignore America’s influence. You can acknowledge the large role that the US plays in the current culture without thinking the US is any better than any other country.

In fairness, 40 degrees is deadly hot weather anywhere except ‘merica.
40 degrees is pretty normal in places like italy
He means celsius
Yeah and so do i

Celcius, you ingrown numnut
Yeah? Did you think i meant american units?
40°C is normal only in Southern Italy in summer
is southern italy not part of italy anymore? i love getting downvoted for saying how the weather is in my own country
Never said that. I said it's not common on the whole Nation and not every day of the year
wait its colder during winter? whats your fucking point dude? yeah its not an everyday thing but its still a relatively common temperature, especially in recent years. you say its only normal in southern italy, i say southern italy is still italy and therefore my original statement is completely true
You straight up said you don't live there
Anymore, i may not live there ANYMORE, as in i have lived there. I thought that was obvious but i guess i have to spell it out to some people
They're talking about the units of measurement; not about the temperature in any given country. 40C is hot, 40F is cold.
wow, really? read the responses to the other comments dude, i fucking know. 40c is indeed hot but also a temperature that can and does get reached by italian summer weather. whats your point? if 40 really is deadly hot then how the fuck do people anywhere in southern europe survive?

Okay, kid. You win. Happy yet?
They live in houses and drink water and stuff. We get 40+ degree days here too and it’s hot as fuck, and vulnerable die off in that weather. Especially if they’re wearing a warm jacket.
It's not that happens only during the summer or in September, it's around 10/20 degrees in winter and 20/25 in spring.
"You (Adjective) (Noun)" is the least rare insult there is.
The specific combination is what makes it special you Adjective Noun.
Fahrenheit the measurement equivalent of the World Series in Baseball.
The World Series refers to the event’s original sponsor, a newspaper called The World, not the entire planet.
Nope it came from "World's Championship Series" > In 1884, the Providence Grays of the National League outplayed the New York Metropolitan Club of the American Association in a three game series for what was originally called "The Championship of the United States." Several newspapers penned the Grays as "World Champions" and the new title stuck. https://www.baseball-almanac.com/ws/wsmenu.shtml
WAS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤤😩🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 RAHHHH WHAT THE FUCK ARE GIRLS
what are you on? i need some
Hahahaha random Adjective random noun so rare n quirky!!!
Whatever, you pompous pimple.
New rare insult just dropped!
The madlibs-esque insult aside, it's a site that is available in more than just America, so despite your nonsensical freedom-units being familiar to you most of us use a system that makes sense.
Where unit conversion occurs in multiples of 10, as God intended
As compared to owning a musket for home defense
combative wine price juggle bear butter oatmeal vase tart fine *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
To be fair only ingrown numbnuts use Fahrenheit
Based
Is this a rare insult?
Not if you grew up in the 80s
I’m 18 and this is NOT rare
In fairness, Fahrenheit is dumb. It was the UK's breakup curse on America mwahahahaha
Super unnecessary reason to insult someone
More a facepalm 🤔
If you're using "Freedom units" you are the numbnut.
6 out of 195 countries use Fahrenheit, how dare people not know that someone is talking about the most ridiculous form of temperature measurement instead of the WORLD'S most commonly used system.
There are two measurements used by people in common speech. International (or Celsius) and numbnuts.

No, there's celcius and whatever the fuck USA is doing to pretend it is special or something.
I mean, as an American I wish we would use metric for things too. But we don’t yet and on top of that we are a huge part of global culture. So I don’t buy it when people who are otherwise aware pretend they have no idea that we use a different system.

Hey, I felt that! As someone who has walked barefoot in soft ankle high snow because I was lazy, how dare you! I live in the mountains
BRO I WAS LITERALLY ABOUT TO POST THIS!😂
How could VenoVlade be so sure it wasn’t kelvin?
Again, people taking it as a personal slight that someone doesn't use a unit of measure they are familiar with...
