It's not super cold right now, maybe minus 1 degree today (Celsius). How can you be cold at 30 degrees? :)

We do see the sun but you don't feel any effect from it. It's like a light in the sky that you just see and don't feel.

I hate this period in Sweden. It's like 6 hours of light every day, the rest is dark and cold.

In mecca, we average 40c on all seasons except winter. At most, we get 50c. We're used to the heat, that's why we're so brown, so we don't get skin cancer :)

but I can't handle anything else lower than 30-20. I remember going to al-Hada (a town in the mecca state) and actually felt like i was going to freeze to death. I have no idea how you Scandinavians are still alive.
