We are on the very cusp of the Astronomical start of spring, unless you're an Aussie, eagerly awaiting a cooler autumn.
In my homeland, being right on the equator, they couldn't care one iota.
Ah, the equator, that part of the world that is too damned hot all year round!
You are wrong there, actually. The equator is never as hot as the tropics.
In all my years living in Kenya I never knew a day hotter than 34 degrees, and that made headlines!
Most evenings one needed a cardigan.
I lived most of the time 300 miles inland, where daily maxima were usually 26/27 degrees, and daily minima were usually 16/18 degrees.
There's a very simple reason for this. Every day has 12 hours day to heat up and 12 hours a night to cool down.
The lines of the tropics will have a period each year when the sun is directly overhead, but will have 14 hours of heating followed by only 10 hours of cooling.
Here in Spain I can experience summer days over 40 degrees. The highest was 45°C, in the shade with free air access.
@Petter Thank you for educating. I am ignorant of my own ignorance, and I delight in people dragging me out of it.
@anglophone That makes you a wise man.
