My friends and family are freezing back home because temps hit 68F / 20C for the first time in.. ever? A long time. Anyway, sure sign of climate change.
'Aircon weather' in Singapore: What's behind the rainy, cool week?
The heavy rain and cooler temperatures are caused by the ongoing La Nina phase, the Madden-Julian Oscillation and the Northeast Monsoon.

Anyway, I know some people from colder climes will find it funny that this is considered cold; but as someone who’s lived in different climates it’s all very subjective. The infra of a place is the most important determinant of whether you feel somewhere is too hot or too cold.
There are ‘hot’ temps in Singapore and Malaysia I can deal with easily vs ‘at the same temp in SF, once or twice a year I feel like I might die’ (given that there’s almost no air conditioning at all in SF)
Infra determines your daily life with diff weather. At 90F I’m out and about in Singapore, at 75F I don’t want to leave my house in SF

@skinnylatte At least at 20C, you can put on more clothes to be warm, but when it's 35, you can't undress for it. Fortunately folk won't freeze at 20C, though climate change is getting scary. If 20C is a new low, what will it be next year?

@skinnylatte a bunch of us from the northeast were on a train heading south years ago when they announced that there would be delays due to snow starting in Baltimore. Since we were coming from snow, we were all sagely commenting, "they just don't know how to handle snow in the south." And then we saw they had 2 feet of snow and we're all like, "y'know.... that IS a LOT of snow."

@skinnylatte I find tree cover determines "survivability" in the boonies where I live. It can pretty drastically reduce peak temperatures.

@skinnylatte 20 ⁰C ! That's almost monkey cap weather (in Kolkata and Chennai).
Maybe 18 ⁰C in Kolkata -
