It's coarse and rough and gets everywhere?
The women, and the children, too
Have children, can confirm they get everywhere.
OP tried so hard to rephrase it...
It depends om where you live. Sumner is not like what you write everywere. 🙂
Bingo. In Colorado it’s generally incredible. Low insect level, clear skies, great temps, and dry. We love it thank you very much.
Allergies by day, mosquitoes by night, heat during work, rain during leisure, it can get pretty bad. Autumn is awesome, it's nicer out with no forces of nature used against anyone and the festivities and aesthetics are amazing, but Spring and Summer make the wait challenging.

Hurricane season would like a word with you...

Situational on region.
I'd rather have any other season personally. You can bundle up in autumn and winter, spring is fine generally. Summer if it gets too hot you can only take off so many clothes before you either run out, or the police get called.
hard disagree. as a brit, i truly love the few genuine summer days we get
Best season, weather is nice enough so Ican enjoy outdoor activities.
There's no such thing as bad weather only inappropriate gear.
The problem is, in the summer, "appropriate gear" means an air conditioned house.
Yes you can play tennis in bubble jackets rifling through snow but it's not exactly pleasant, you can put skis on your skateboard but it ain't the same.
In Texas we have summer heat that even an air conditioned house can't keep up with at times. It can get hot enough that a some home AC systems will run and run and not maintain a comfortable temp.
I love summer. I love wearing shorts and t-shirts, swimming in the sea, being outside, and opening the doors like the garden is just another room in my house.
Nice try but I see that Sith dog whistle
being forced to shower like every 3 hours just to not feeling sweaty
Bro do you live in the desert? Or are you obese? Both? This feels like a very local/personal experience lol. Far from everyone has these issues with summer.
Maybe it's all a joke and I'm whooshing hard but... Anyway.
Just sounds like Florida to me.
100% humidity all the time. Temperatures in the 100's (F) (>38C). Feels like the air is thick and heavy constantly. It'll rain just long enough every so often to keep these attributes true almost all the time. Doesn't matter how fit you are, just walking to your car is enough to make you feel like you just crawled out of the swamp. Worst of all, Florida doesn't get Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter; We get Summer, Simmer, Summer, Fall.
Yeah that sounds about right. I've lived two summers in south Florida and it was brutal. Summers here in northern Sweden are quite a lot milder, obviously. Very comfortable. But can also get very hot, as well.
So a very local thing indeed.
I'm guessing you've never been to a tropical place during summer. They're not exaggerating, any physical work you do within a couple of minutes you start sweating, it's hell.
Absolutely.
I can put on more clothes, but I can't strip my skin. I mean, with enough dedication I probably could...
Not a huge beach guy, but I live for the summer. 80F is the ideal temperature; anything up to 100 is great too, as long as I don't need to perform prolonged manual labor outside. Long sunny days make my lizard soul happy, and all of my best clothes are summer clothes.
Absolutely. Fall/Winter reign supreme, Spring is nice too.
Summer is my favorite part of the year in the US. Longer days, cool nights, lush greenery with beautiful skies, more activities to do outside, mangoes are in season, going to the pool, barbecues, basking in the sun and feeling the seasonal depression melt away.
I was born in the summer, maybe that has something to do with it.
Am summer fae. Hard disagree. The worst part of summer is indoors where they abuse air conditioning to create a dry frigid wasteland.
And wildfire smoke which didn't use to be a thing where I live.
I love heat, sun makes me more alive and energetic. Winter is the worst, i always has depression because of it.
I love cold, the bracing air makes me feel alive and energetic. Summer is the worst, I feel exhausted all the time from the humidity.
I'll take if over winter or the cold/rainy phases of the other two every day.
Totally agree. During the winter the parks are empty, no little, no bugs, no noise, no sun screen. The only downside is the early darkness
Couldn't agree more with all your points. I don't mind sunny days, but summer has been miserable these past few years, the heat makes me exhausted and letargic, thank God for AC. Winter on the other hand is bliss (at least where I live), mild temperatures, no bugs... I wish it would last forever.
Love summer. Love all the seasons, but would be nice if summer was one, two months longer and winter shorter.
Ok Satan
I love the spring and summer. I have fibromyalgia and the pain and fatigue is much better during the warmer months. I like the sunny weather as it cheers me up. The people outside make me feel like I'm on a holiday even when I'm not. It's the time of the year I feel the most motivated to do anything and I actually have the energy to do it.
Aside from that, the summer heat doesn't bother me that much. It's much better than the freezing cold for me. Unless it's almost 40°C, but I don't think anyone likes these high temperatures.
I agree with you about the mosquitoes, though.
Getting worse every year too
Here it used to be very nice every summer, but these days it is always unbearably hot and there's a 1/3 chance that there's smoke from forest fires and always heavy water and fire restrictions.
It definitely is for me, with pretty much the same reasons as the ones you've listed. I spent most of the last two summers indoors, because the heat was just unbearable. My friends and I hung out in the evenings, when we could take short walks without discharging a small lake's worth of sweat. I can't wait for autumn to arrive.
Idk summers are pretty sweet! Only time of the year it's warm enough to wear anything nice. No need to worry about heating, and the beach is a nice place to just chill, the sand is nice and soft and the sun warms the skin in ways nothing else does, ice cold beers, nights warm enough to not wear a jacket, flowers blooming and bees buzzing around gardens filling them with life, loud music and partying around the clock!
For sweat I'd suggest deodorant and at least a shower every few days along with fresh clothing.
Vivaldi would agree with you there. Just listen to his Summer piece.
And that's why Winter is the best.
Summer is orders of magnitude less painful all around than winter. Fall, now, that is the absolute best time of year. Not too hot not too cold, nor too wet. Just purfick
Are you by any chance related to Anakin Skywalker ?
Seriously, summer here in Comoros corresponds to the rainy season and it's indeed a bit uncomfortable to traverse. 95% humidity, upwards of 35 degrees, frequent pouring rain. I change clothes at least twice a day, and I work from home ! At least we have water and nature is happy for it : forests are lush, dense, fruity. It's winter now, muuuch more bearable.
Depends on where you are.
I’m in the Midwestern United States now, where summer is often pretty frustrating due to the high humidity. But I’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.
Summer is when you don't feel depressed, so it seems like it's a good time of year.
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.
From reading this thread I'm convinced that most of you actually live in hell and have some kind of way of communicating with the living. Flying cockroaches... omg
