Your summers are a bit on the cool side lol, I would get very tired of the constant chilly weather after a while. I believe that the optimum summer temp is around 86°F (30°C) in dry heat, and 77 (25) in more humid places. I can't stand wearing shorts & flip flops and going to the beach in 10°C unless I'm vigorously exercising. If someone did that here, they would be looked down upon as crazy... Usually I'd wear long pants and a hoodie in that weather and wait until it reaches about 25°C before even thinking about the beach or pool.

Lol @ your Paine joke

Gilma may have been a random pick, or I think the name sounded a bit "strong" to me when I voted for it in the betting pools.

I'm 5 feet 5 inches (165-166 cm), 150 pounds (68 kg), and about average bone structure. I'd put myself as male, category 2. I have to do all these conversions from C to F, cm to ft/in, etc. when I chat with someone from a foreign country that uses metric (such as you) because I'm so used to the imperial system here in the U.S. The rest of the world seems to have switched to metric except for us.

For your last question, based on ages from this blog post and not including any storms that occurred before 1996, maybe Lane (2000 or 2006), Darby (all incarnations 1998 and up), or Madeline (2016) fit that descriptor the best. I'm a bit lazy to go find other storm name ages that fit 1996-99 and were used for storms that match the description. :P
