In Spain it is common to do a Siesta during the hottest hours of the day, usually 2-5 pm. Also buildings are more built for dealing with hot temperatures than cold temperatures.
So you can survive 35°C outside while staying in a cool home and then go out again in the evening, where you will find restaurants to still serve proper food at 10pm and normal shops to still be open until 9pm
Also dry heat or cold are much more bearable than wet heat or cold.
Yes, yes, I know that. It’s just that I kinda mostly like the climate I live in. Sure, it could be a bit sunnier sometimes, but overall I’m quite comfortable (yet. I’m not sure I’m going to like what climate change is gonna bring in the future). And also I like coastal regions far more than inlands.
Zaragoza has average daytime temperatures six to ten degrees higher than my hometown during summer. No thanks.
Bilbao seems a lot nicer climate wise and it’s a coastal city.
You cannot translate the temperatures directly.
