Autumn, weather is good and there are berries to harvest.

[–] Balldowern@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm with you, OP. Give me winter all the time. I might have to move North if this keeps up.

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 23 hours ago

Oh year. I've heard polar days are nice.

Summer was only better than winter when I was in school. It was better because there was no school for 3 whole months in the summer.

[–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 1 points 9 hours ago

Being able to do stuff after work with daylight in summer is nice. In winter its dark before I even finish work.

Perhaps I should get a more powerful bike light and do after work evening bike trips in winter.

As long as I have a fan strong enough to redirect typhoons, I love summer. Fresh peaches and melon, beautiful sun, and time off. Winter's also amazing, but only because my lamps can change colour temp to deal with the awful mornings and evenings. The transitional periods are just gray, drab crap.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I full on get vomitty if I get too hot. Give me winter. Give me cold.

[–] SeventySeven@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Yeah I am the same exact way and have also been feeling very weird & sick lately (it was so bad I thought I had an actual flu or virus) but it's definitely because I am getting too hot. I lose my appetite. I can't think as straight. I get irritated. I start feeling lethargic but restless, and I feel lightheaded and wobbly. I only began to feel hungry and felt normal again when it's nighttime and cooler out. That's what clued me in to the fact that the heat was causing those issues the whole time.

This gets me worried/panicked especially with climate change making it even more unbearable. I don't want to continue feeling miserable for half the year, every single year, for the remainder of my life...

I like winter. If it’s cold I can just put on warm clothes. In the summer I can just bake.

[–] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Just move to the half of the USA that's currently experiencing drought conditions and then at least you don't have to worry much about mosquitos. That's one point for climate change!

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My area has been in a drought since last year, it's the 7th driest January-May since 1895. We still have very humid weather and mosquitoes.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 22 hours ago

mosquitos have adapted to lay eggs in small pools of water, cups, debris like tires also can harbor them. plus aedis ageypti have hardened eggs that can survive dessicaiton somewhat.

[–] Gormadt@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 day ago

Yeah I can wear my flowy showy shirts and pants during the summer.

But I can't wear my turtlenecks, scarves, or snugly jackets. Not to mention that sitting under a nice hearty blanket sipping cocoa on a crisp evening.

The summer I can chill in the shade of trees sipping iced tea though which is also hella nice.

Both have perks and draw backs.

[–] Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh i hate summmer from the bottom of my heart. Already just thebrightness hurts and makes it harder to see anything, but the main curse is the heat. By the evening I'm just exhausted and head is stuffed. Of course the night isn't much better, it's not enough time to cool down and then sleep is disrupted and shallow.

So I'm perpetually sweating, tired, grumpy, slower and weaker.

Dark winter nights are the best, exactly that time when i cant see the sun at all, screw that fucker. No brightness, sleep is much deeper, always full of energy and it's just so easy to generate bodyheat that the cold becomes nearly irrelevant.

[–] Raccoon_Rick@altgag.net 6 points 1 day ago

I miss being able to regulate my body temperature by sticking out a foot from the blanket

Y'all a bunch a weather bitches.

[–] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 23 hours ago

It's just the same rage bait posts all around the year. In winter they will post a stickman freezing outside with icicles in his nose and 7 layers of clothes with text "winter lovers be like"

Autumn/Fall gets shits about rain and moody weather. Spring gets shit about allergies. One can't please everybody...

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Honestly, I'm with you and I was gonna come on here and say something similar but my buddy is an electrician who works on new buildings and he deals with so goddamn much heat in those buildings that he can hardly function when he's not working. I'm all "go outside, drink electrolytes and lots of water, go swimming" but for some people this reality is hell.

Fuck the Winter!

I don’t mind melting skin and vampiric, malaria bringing insects as long as I can enjoy long summer evenings, cool drinks, the summerwind rustling in trees while laying in their shadows, eating icecream and going for a swim.

All this is monumentally better than the long darkness, scraping ice from your cars windscreen at 06:00 am and seeing nothing but bare trees for months.

Winter is fine for a month or so, then it should be time again for spring.

[–] Tinks@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hard disagree. In winter we have cozy warm clothing, crisp dry air to breathe, beautiful blankets of snow, houses lit up with decorative lights at night, and most importantly significantly less bugs! I love hiking and backpacking in winter. I would much rather sleep outside when it's 0 C/32 F than when it's 24 C/75 F+ at night. Once it starts getting warm here the humidity creeps up and you're just sticky for months. Sitting outside on my porch on winter mornings bundled up in my coat and scarf having my morning coffee is one of my favorite things. If I do this in summer I'm eaten by mosquitoes within minutes.

I'm sure whether people like summer or winter more is heavily influenced by where they live, but here summer is hot, humid, full of mosquitoes and ticks, and just generally all around miserable. Late June through early September is the worst part of the year and it's not even close for me.

I suffer physically during summer and mentally during winter. I 'd love for a long, extended spring time (because I have no allergies ruining it for me), but anthropogenic climate change is 86ing spring and autumn atm.

Summer

The Good:

  • longer days, lots of time after work for outdoor activities
  • relax in the sun
  • fresh fruit
  • more cultural activities
  • swim in the see

The Bad:

  • hot

Winter

The Good:

  • not hot

The Bad:

  • more rain
  • drive to/from work when it's still dark
  • depressing
[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

lots of time after work for outdoor activities

Outdoor activities get cancelled more and more because of the heat this year. People not showing up at events because they don't like a heat stroke. It's a bit too much summer.

Why get a good nights rest when you can instead be cooked alive, day after day?

It's 92F in my house at 9% humidity. I have my ceiling fan, and an iced coffee. I'm good. I moved to the desert because I hate humidity. I still sweat here, but it's not nearly as bad as California in the summer. I think I might literally die in Florida in the summer, I've never been to Florida and I never want to go, for many reasons, including the humidity.

Winter here isn't too bad, mostly it's the short days and overcast that gets me. Windy cold days are the worst.

Six months out of the year are great, six months not as great, but still better weather here than anywhere I can afford to live, so I'll stay here.

[–] SeventySeven@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

92° in your house? I hope you're okay and can find a way to cool it down, that sounds dangerous :( I should be grateful that my house only gets to 80° if it's almost 100° outside. I feel guilty running my air conditioning, but I just want to feel comfortable and be able to do stuff.

[–] bassgirl09@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

I'll always take winter over summer if I had to choose between the two. I live in the northern US where it gets down to -10 degrees F regularly in the winter.
