People in Australia call this ignorant.
Yeah. But Australia is in the other hemisphere...
When's the last time Texas had a 106 winter day?
Imagine it being 106°f in January/February.
Pffft, that's practically chilly for January. Americans can't imagine a 41 degree day in February? What a bunch of wimps!
Feb 21, 1996… it hit 100 degrees in San Antonio, Texas so it’s done it in Winter as recently as… 30 years ago. (Just made me remember because I was there)
Christmas hitting 85 is fairly normal now and i might have seen one closer to or maybe just over 90, but definitely never in the 100's. Maybe out in west Texas it might have reached higher, but a meteorologist would need to dig that data up.
They teach you to read in Texas?
Ooonly the bible 🤠
Yeah cool but did you notice the part where Australia got that in winter?
One the plus side, now I don't have to read the article. Maybe that was his plan all along.
Texas summers are only as hot as Australian winters. Guess all that big talk about being badasses was fake, Texans are so fragile they think winter temperatures are hot.
They're also tiny. only bigger than like Victoria and Tasmania. Pathetic tiny landmass of a state that Texas
does it matter at all to you that it's winter in the southern hemisphere right now (for context, australia is in the southern hemisphere)
Your statement is not factually incorrect. It's winter down there in aus though.
Also maybe to help you out, the earth is actually round, and while the top half is tiled toward the sun, thus summer, the bottom hemisphere is actually winter. It's incredible really
Oh yeah I knew there was going to be an american commenting something like this.
pffft Texas is half the size of Western Australia.
I know you're getting down voted, but I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you were being incredibly shocked. People in Texas call this an average SUMMER day!!!!!!!!
People in winter call you stupid
