The sun sucks, being forced to shower like every 4 hours just to not feeling sweaty, the fucking mosquitoes, the fact you can't wear anything that you want anymore due the heat, the people outside... The fucking beach. I try to avoid it... The fucking sand, not a fan of it. Is scratchy, harsh, annoying and it infiltrates in every nook and cranny. Is not worth the annoyance just to shower yourself with salt water.

I didn't like summers or winters where I used to live, so I moved to somewhere where I like both seasons. Then moved again to somewhere that I love all four seasons.

But I get what you're saying; you're describing the summers of my childhood. Hot and humid so you feel like you need a cold shower within 5 minutes of walking outside. Sticky by day, swarmed by mosquitos at night.

But you lost me at the sand bit. I love the beach and ocean when it's like 10-30ยฐC out. Colder and hotter are okay, too, but not as nice.

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

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

No Anakin, the worst is spring because of allergies

Depends on where you are.

Iโ€™m in the Midwestern United States now, where summer is often pretty frustrating due to the high humidity. But Iโ€™m 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.

I'm more bothered by the flying cockroaches. They are more active when its hot it seems. Spring and Autumn are best I feel.

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Absolutely, in Louisiana.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Clearly whoever wrote this has not seen an oregon coast summer. But don't move here... It's terrible... I promise...

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

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?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

I live in a cruise ship town, that's why summer is my least favorite

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

I like it more than winter.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

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.

Gift them a video game console. When I was young we must have drove all the neighbors nuts, running across their yards playing sports. My neighborhood now has kids but it's nice and quiet. Thank you Playstation and Xbox

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I can barely afford rent :( I don't mind kids just playing etc. We have a big green field outside where kids play all day and its no problem. But there is a family a few houses down with kids that just scream. Not even laughing really. Just pure high pitched screaming. Fighting with eachother and screaming. And they will do that until 10-11pm in the weekends.

My autism just make the experience a 100x worse.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Hey man, it's your neighbor, I hate to tell you this but there isn't any kids in that house anymore the entire family perished in a fire a year ago. The whole block has been quiet since.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

I just stay inside with the nice AC lol

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

I wonder what life was like before the summer sun actively tries to kill us.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I don't mind the beach but please just give me autumn. Screw summer

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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! ๐Ÿ˜" THE FUCK YOU MEAN "WARM" THIS SHITS ACTUAL HELL

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

I wouldn't call that hell either tbh but if your winter is 15C there isn't much excuse to wait for summer.

My wife couldโ€™ve written this

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Don't forget to take out the trash darling.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Already did ๐Ÿ˜Ž

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Yes, it's so awful. In the winter if you're cold you can just put on a coat but in the summer if you're hot there's nothing you can do about it. Also it's still light really late which I hate and it's just overall a miserable season. It's one of the biggest reasons I would like to move somewhere other than where I live now

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

I agree that summer is the worst, but it's a regional thing. Also you don't have to go to the beach or in the water. I avoid the beach like the plague. Mostly because the water is plagued.
