Honestly, how it's been so far here this year, it's pretty much the perfect season. Temperature during the day between 18C and 25C. Warm in the sun, but with a cold wind. Cooler in the night, so I can sleep decently. And nice and sunny, with very long daylight. I always notice that I'm a lot happier when it's light outside, so I'm feeling a lot better in this weather. I do agree that the 30+ C days and 20+ C nights are hell, mostly because airco's aren't that common here

As someone who lives in Greece, 10 minutes from the beach, I actually agree with you. I never liked the Greek heat. I like the sea when there's not many people in it though.
Hot season is my least favorite, but I come to love the rainy season for being cooler & more dynamic even if it can sometimes be inconvenient
Depends on where you are.
Iโm in the Midwestern United States now, where summer is often pretty frustrating due to the high humidity. But Iโm originally from Phoenix, where I really enjoyed summer (in the shade), because I love the feeling of warmth soaking into my bones, and I never got sweaty.
Summer is absolutely dogshit terrible. Anyone who claims they like it is lying to themselves. It's muggy, hot, humid, touristy, expensive. What is there to like?
I'm more bothered by the flying cockroaches. They are more active when its hot it seems. Spring and Autumn are best I feel.
Absolutely. By body runs hot, and Autumn is my favorite. All the gray of winter exacerbates my depression, and snow is a pita. In Autumn all the goddamn bugs die and the inevitably swampy Chicago humidity is a non-factor.
Absolutely, in Louisiana.
I'm Canadian in a place with a decent amount of snow and it's cold for like six months of the year. I love summer.
I do live near a popular cottage area so the downside to summer is all the asshole cottagers who tailgate aggressively if you aren't driving 30km/hr or more over the speed limit.
I live in Florida, so it's hot but I LOVE our summers. We get warm mornings, afternoon thunderstorms, and warm evenings with lightning all through the sky, it is so beautiful. I like also how nobody at the beach is modest or worried about looks (I'm not in Miami) so you see all types in swimsuits.
So summer is my favorite mostly because of the rain, but I do like the beach.
ETA I also like the longer days and shorter nights.
Clearly whoever wrote this has not seen an oregon coast summer. But don't move here... It's terrible... I promise...
Completely agree. I hate heat with a passion. My 2 biggest annoyances are lawn mowers being loud and neighbors outside all day with kids that scream their fucking lungs out. Just high pitched fucking screaming for hours on end.
I know i used to play outside when i was little, but never did i yell and scream uncontrollably for fucking hours, driving anyone in a 200 meter radius fucking insane. Sorry i just don't get it.
Edit: im sorry if i sound like a boomer. Im autistic and the screaming is giving me a fight of flight reaction. Often i don't care. But a family 2 houses down screams sooooo loud. Not even laughing or anything. Just pure high pitched screaming. And they will go on until 10pm or so every day if the sun shines.
I use noise canceling earphones but i can't and don't want to wear those all day long.
I wonder what life was like before the summer sun actively tries to kill us.
I live in a cruise ship town, that's why summer is my least favorite
I don't mind the beach but please just give me autumn. Screw summer
Very early summer or late spring.
Just enough that you don't need a jacket in the morning/evening but not so hot that you will spontaneously combust during lunch.
I'm staunchly a fan of autumn. I prefer very early autumn, colors pop
My wife couldโve written this
Don't forget to take out the trash darling.
Already did ๐
Spring where I live is worst.
Lots of snow, lots of rain so that means a lot of slush, and any outdoor activity makes a mess of whatever you are wearing.
With the climate changes, we also get wild spikes of hot/cold weather. So one day you are in t-shirt and the next day you have a to wear a snow suit.
I just stay inside with the nice AC lol
Summer fans are not real, no way you guys enjoy a billion fuckin degree weather and sunburns that turn you to leather or the absolute swamp in your pants from being outside for more than 2 minutes.
That depends on your body though. I never get sunburns and while 30C is warm but comfortable, anything under 5C is actually painful. So I don't get winter fans either.
The thing is, in the winter you can just keep layering. But in summer, you can only remove so many layers before you have to rip your skin off to remove another one. Also I should mention that I'm in California where we get +35C summers and winter is 15C. BUT PEOPLE HERE STILL SAY SHIT LIKE "Can't wait for the warm weather! ๐" THE FUCK YOU MEAN "WARM" THIS SHITS ACTUAL HELL
I wouldn't call that hell either tbh but if your winter is 15C there isn't much excuse to wait for summer.
I fucking love summer. I love sauna too. I love sweating then cooling off in a nice shower. Iced lattes, lemonade. Early morning walks with the dog. Seeing everyone out in their little shorts and tank tops enjoying the radiant sunlight. I just... love summer. I love the HEAT.
I like it more than winter.
Also, stronger, blinding sunlight and more headaches.
