I totally feel you, especially on sunny days. I live directly under the roof, a black roof, heading south, also 2 big windows heading south … on a winters day its possible to go from hoodie+t+shirt+undershirt to just undershirt – and back within 12 hours when its sunny outside.

Its the same for Midwest natives.

“Hoodie”? Oh the thing I break out when temperature drops below -20 celsius… man you southern folk are soft for light cooling.

I dunno, upstate NY Tim here, we are still hitting 80 degrees during the day. It has really thrown off my hoodie growing season.

As a fellow mammal who grew up and is still living in that climate zone, the autumnal skins change daily & sometimes hourly. As the weather cools, most days it is chilly in the morning, so a hoodie is desired, as the day warms the hoodie is shed, but re-grows as soon as the sun goes down. But in this season there are warm days where there are only shorts & t-shirt skins required.

Here in the central valley in CA…. My car said is was 102 yesterday still… We did get rain a few days ago, it usually will not rain until October or November here. I cannot wait for hoodie or flannel weather! I even have a flannel that is a hoodie at the same time.

in the PNW we never lose our hoodie as it rarely gets above 90 degrees unless you’re on the other side of the mountains.

As a Canadian, I don’t know what “cold” is. Heat destroys me but summers are short here, short enough I don’t bother wasting money on an AC. Unless it’s below 0 I’m good with just a long sleeve T.

there are some who call me Tim?

My collegue that bikes together with me to work had to laugh when I came out with a jacket. “finally giving in?” she asked 😅
Still not like the coat she’s wearing but at least a bit thicker than the sweater (which I now do not wear underneath. This is now just an exchange to a slightly thicker outer layer XD)

Comics like these are why I’m glad I live in the west coast. You easterners (North OR South) are too hardy for me. I admit my being a weakling. Kudos!

Sudden thought: If you order a chimichanga, you can now legally be tackled by ICE and thrown in a detention facility, which is a non-zero chance route for citizens to end up in El Salvador.
