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 Definitely mate, I personally don't like it. Then, when Brits travel to sunny destinations like Spain and Greece where it usually is 30 degrees in summer, they walk about wearing next to nothing, constantly putting on sunscreen and dousing themselves in water ahaha (I don't do that though). California is usually a warm place and it's because you're accustomed to those temperatures whereas we are accustomed to the cold... if you came to the north of England (I study in the north east) people would tell you "Well we live with the cold all year, we're accustomed to it!" I'm in a green parka during 10 degrees celcius ahah.

Same mate I see myself as a C2! Also even though we do use metric most of the time some people here surprisingly use the imperial system too (example on the roads). I do find the imperial system fascinating but I use metric about 95% of the time rip. But I understand where you're coming from! Maybe if you get into a scientific degree, you have to use the metric sysbem since science always uses SI units including the metric system.

Thanks mate! I'm waaaay too old for Maddie :/, Lane looks a little cute (2000) but I'm too old for the 2006 incarnation, and Darby (1998) looks sweet but I can't claim Darby because of her gender :( C3, annular, full and soft but female. WHY do all the rounded soft hurricanes have to be female grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :/
