57. YMMV. For me, anything above 22°C is hot in the city, in a south facing flat.

Having come from a purely continental climate, I quickly became acclimated to the less radical temperature swings of a maritime climate.

More and more people are getting air conditioners. I've even looked into one myself. I live on the fourth floor and heat definitely rises.

In my experience, Sept. and Oct. often have températures au dessus des normales saisonnières. That's why they call it the "arrière saison". The summer you didn't get earlier can show up then.

In a word, yes, I was perfectly serious. About my personal experience, that is. As I say, YMMV.
