[@Sir Lurksalot] Cold is better than heat. You can't really combat heat without having to be under an AC or constantly drinking cold fluids. With Coat you can bundle yourself up or wrap yourself in a blanket to keep yourself warm. Plus the best time of the year is when it rains because you get a free shower outside and get wet. 

[@Dioxit] I would say you could stumble upon Dante, Zin, Vesta, Aya, and Henrich all group together on the street. Or appear at the tavern after a long travel.
