Which way? Because it gets incredibly hot in the Canadian prairie. There is no body of water to regulate temperature so the summers can get serious heat waves while the winter is absolutely frigid. Granted, Edmonton is still considerably further south than Stockholm.

Comparing similar latitudes in north america to where i live in sweden is a wild experience. The average temperatures are double, sometines almost triple, during summer.

On which scale? Because that kinda matters.
Celsius? Kinda hot but not necessarily deadly.
Kelvin? You've turned your city into an air fryer.

It’s still an odd way to compare temperatures:

This is an example I use when I teach data types. It happens because the scale (F or C) is an “interval” scale. Its zero is not based on the absence of the property it is measuring, so you can’t apply a multiplicative transform to it like, “double”.
It is like lining up by height, calling the shortest person the standard and measure height of everyone else from that. So, the next tallest might be 2 cm, the next 4cm. But clearly the person we are calling 4cm is not twice the height of the person we called 2 cm.

I mean thats completely valid criticism but it had a lot of shock value still.

You'd think so, but without specifying the scale... it could be anything. ANYTHING!
