Your ignorance is baffling.

Africa was colonised and destroyed by westernised countries for so long, left to try and recover after years and years of colonialism and infighting. This is is the reason it’s behind the rest and treating it with contempt like this doesn’t help.

Have you ever been to an African country before?

Never been before no. Not once. It's too hot.

[Fosterbloke]

Never been before no. Not once. It's too hot.

Lol you realise they have a winter there too right?

[Norbs]

To be fair to Bob, Cameroon is virtually equatorial so doesn't really have seasons

The capital city is nice in July and August - only a high of 26C.

All places have seasons!

[Paul12]

All places have seasons!

Except Everton, where there are only nightmares.

[Harv]

All places have seasons!

yeah, dry or wet. And it'll be stinking ****ing hot, or stinking ****ing hot and humid

Ah, but you didn't say seasons

That's winter, dry and.26 degrees. Beautiful! Not hot at all.

No, not hot at all. Nowhere near it.
Practically frigid if anything.

[Fredo]

If you’re used to warm weather, 26 degrees won’t be hot. So it depends on where you live. Some people find it cold when it’s 18 degrees.

I'm used to cold weather, that's not to say that 5 degrees isn't a bit chilly!

That's right, 26 is pleasant - 32 and above it getting warmer. I've been outside whilst it's 38 degrees in Perth Australia and Phoenix USA - (lots of sunscreen) and it's ok as the air is nice and dry.

It depends on the humidity - the higher the humidity, the lower the effects of sweat evaporation which means you can't cool down effectively.

You’re taking an extreme example.

I’ve lived in a tropical country for 30 years when we had our winter months where the temperature went down to a minimum of around 15 degrees, we found it chilly and cold. It depends on the context and what your body is used to.

I’ve lived 2 years in Perth when the temp went up to around 45 degrees in summer for weeks. It’s like opening up an oven and let the heat blow on you.

Humidity definitely doesn’t help. Here in the uk the winter months are extremely humid but the cool temperatures doesn’t make it unbearable.

No I’m not

What’s extreme about 5 degrees at this time of year in the UK?

Being acclimatised to a hot or cold climate doesn’t stop it from being a hot or cold climate.
