Poll: I hate summer

[-Dragmire-]

I hate the humidity, bugs and sweating in summer so winter is my favorite season(Also, I'm quite resilient to cold). I'm the odd one out compared to the people around me due to me preferring -30 degrees celsius over +30 degrees celsius. My ideal temp range is -15 to +10.

Over the last week it has been +22 to +36. Not looking forward to the 40+ weather.

Not a big fan of the heat. 15 degrees is more than hot enough for me. 20 degrees is doable, 25 is "FML", 30+ is "please fucking kill me". I'm just not build to deal with warm weather while colder weather doesn't bother me as much as others. And yeah the cold I can dress for, the heat...yeah well you can't really go further than being butt naked.

I'm a Brit, a northern Brit at that, and I still fucking hate this season. I have been nothing but aggravated since it started. It feels like it's been even more humid than normal this year.

Many, many countries have hotter and more humid summers and I will never visit any of them during summer. If I were to emigrate anywhere it would be somewhere generally cold like Norway or something.

Fuck this season, fuck warmth. Literally the only positive is that sunlight can be pretty and the forests look gorgeous, but they're still pretty nice in every season except snowless winters.

Speaking of which, snow is by far my favourite kind of weather but cold without snow is shit and we rarely get snow. I tend to quite like spring and autumn as a result.

I'm Canadian, wake me up when the leaves start to change colour, I hate Summer above all other seasons. In other seasons if it's too cold you can add another layer of blankets to your bed. In summer when it's too hot you can't do anything about it.

I used to work full time at the local hospital and during the summer they still had the heating turned up. Middle of winter and snow outside, I'm still going to work in the same thin work shirt and thin work pants because I know it'll be boiling inside the hospital.

These days I normally work in a market that was designed before radiators were invented and was specifically designed to be cold for the food section and today it was really hot (hence my complaining to basically everyone today about the heat). I still work at the hospital one day a week so I am not looking forward to going in tomorrow.

Spoiler: Also OP, I think you want this.

Thank you. I shall put it to good use.

Simply put, I hate summer because I don't like being uncomfortably hot. It's easier to warm ones self then cool ones self off in my experience.

Once you live through a quarter century in the arctic, you will learn to love summer... i have never been too hot... even in abu dhabi...

It is only 9 degrees outside here now...

 

[Ten Foot Bunny]

Ah, my favorite season! Tank tops, shorts, sandals, sunglasses, I love them all. Few things make me as miserable as having to clothe my body with more than the legal minimum of fabric necessary to avoid arrest.

Want to go somewhere? No need to waste time getting bundled up and scraping snow/ice off of your vehicle - just hop in, roll down the windows, open the sunroof, and crank the music up nice and loud. Give me 90 degrees over 75 degrees any day. As if things couldn't get any better, the copious hours of sunlight work magic on my moods.

If only I could live in summer all year long...

We have a saying regarding summer here in Texas; "If I had a house in Texas and a house in Hell, I'd rent out the Texas place and move to Hell where it's cooler."

So yeah...it's hot. It's an experience walking around in shorts after the sun's gone down and it's STILL ninety degrees outside.

But on the plus side...school's out so rush hour traffic is much lighter.

 

[FPLOON]

Well, for me, let's just say that it's always summer in San Diego... except when it rains, which it doesn't even when it is...

Other than that, it gives me an excuse to [temporary] wear a bikini...

I took a bath in the indian ocean a month ago, i found it relatively cold

I have to admit...

It seriously looks quite nice :/

O man, you have my sympathies

I'm currently dealing with carpenter ants and while it doesn't seem like they've nested in my house (yet) dealing with them is still a pain since they more resistant to traditional ant control methods.

I've dealt with ants like that once, those fuckers were annoying as hell. Like your case they haven't nested in the house though, probably because I live in one of the cooler parts of Aus. You have my sympathy too.

Even if the ants aren't living in your house the nest is probably nearby. Carpenter ants generally don't forage more than 100 yards from the nest. The problem is that the nest is most likely going to be in a tree so can't get rid of the nest as easily as a simple dirt mound.

That's fine, I'm more of a Darkmoon sort of guy anyway.

I am actually amazed at how one sided the poll has gone and which direction, I always complain and get 'grumpy' when its hot and sunny so people at work know how I feel (I must be really annoying to be around during summer), yet only one person has ever agreed with me before.

I've always wondered who lives closest to me in this forum community. I think it might be you.

There's not a single thing I like about it, not even all the female skin on display as I do all my perving in the privacy of my own home. It just means hayfever, the beginning of spider hunting season (yay flesh eating whitetails!) and all the other annoying insects like flies/wasps, high electricity bills and sweating under the Australian sun where the shade is nought but a cruel joke.

I'm just glad I'm in Melbourne and not the NT or Queensland or I probably would've necked myself by now. Winter all the way for me.

 

[Jute88]

Winter is my favorite season, there's nothing more beautiful than a pure, white landscape. But I appreciate summer for warmth and the type of clothing it gets people to wear. I live in Finland, btw.
Oh, also, I seemed to have developed allergies this year.

Well, I already know one forum member who was literally a ~10 minute drive from me... And that's not even including the several I know that live in [Southern] California in general...

Being a true Melbournian you'd also know that there is only one colour in our fashion spectrum - black. Black leather and knee high boots on women. God I love winter.
