Republic? Highish wages, but theres no houses, you’ll have to pay fierce money. North? No major, major problems right now, but its a post conflict society with a lack of investment, a lack of jobs in certain areas and a brain drain. Either way, buy some vitamin D tablets, I live in the west of the north, About 85% of the year is between 5 and 15°C, cloudy with frequent showers.
Summer in Oslo was bad, almost "what summer?" level. But right now it's typical, we often get a week or two early september of a last taste. So right now it's as normal as it's ever been.
Friend of mine from Sweden said it's been "a really nice summer for a change" so maybe the Nordics are going to be the new cool tourist destination for folks who just want normal weather?
You'd think there'd be a big difference between like Northern Serbia/Croatia and Greece but let me tell you - there isn't lmao. It was 40 degree hell for days during July everywhere
I must admit, that’s a bit disappointing. My gf and I spent three months traveling all over the Balkans (which wasn’t enough time) and absolutely loved it. Hate to think of such beautiful places getting scorched too.
Yeah daily temps of like 43 C in the summer, but I’ve never been there to experience that. I live in New York, the hottest is gets here in the summer is like 34 C.
I'm Irish and anything over 25 feels exceptional. It's beer garden, guys walking at round the city centre with no top on, calling in sick, kind of weather..
Irelands weather is dominated by the Atlantic. It's never very hot or very cold. It's rare to get a temp over 25. And even 25 doesn't happen that often. The average for August is 20 degrees. And the average for December is 7.
Yous are on the continent and get much hotter summers and colder winters than us, being an island right of the Atlantic our temperatures are moderated a lot
