Temperatures here are pretty wacky. 40degrees is the hot season and is not uncommon. At the moment we're hitting about 25 tops which is considered cold. Minimums are a little above 10 degrees.

In other words, the tropics.

timppu: The coldest I have experienced myself is -35 C, one night over 5 years ago when we were driving home from the north (so it was in northern parts of Finland). We were staying one night in a motel and I checked the temperature there.

It wasn't the cold which was the worst, as said just dress properly. It was that the air is extremely dry on so low temperatures, and you can't really escape that by going inside to warm, the air is still very dry there too. Itchy skin all the time, need to use some cream on skin, static electricity on your clothes etc. In winter generally I don't mind the low temperatures, but the dry air when it goes below -5 C or so.

The good news is that at least your laundry tends to dry quickly too, even without any tumble-dryers.
We get that when it's both extremely warm and cold here. Drives us nuts. My throat is swollen shut right because of the dry heat.

In UK? Odd, I thought you generally have lots of humidity in your air due to sea, regardless of the weather. And it doesn't usually get that cold in the winter where the air really dries up, like -10 C or lower, right?

Here the warmer it is, the more moisture there is in the air (and the less itchy my skin is). Like now that it is around +30 C, the air feels quite humid even without any rain. Yeah I guess in Arab countries or something it is hot and dry, I haven't really experienced that. Besides Thailand, I haven't been in other hot countries (the southest besides that was in southern France twice, but that was in October or so). EDIT: Errr, no, I have been once also in Israel, but that was in January. +20C then though regardless of the season.

The colder it is, the worse it is to my skin here, dryer and dryer. When I go to Thailand where the humidity is usually very high, my skin likes it the best.

You would think so wouldn't you. It may be is someone where else but it gets very dry here despite being at the sea side.
