No one is talking about autumn? We have splash of color everywhere, Less bugs, comfy clothes, moderate temp and moderate lighting.
I usually just have allergies throughout.
I agree, but at the same time, I wouldn't give up having the contrast between seasons for anything. You need that 92 degrees with 80% humidity to really appreciate the cool down after a thunderstorm. And my absolute favorite time of year is that first chilly week in September that let's you know the heat is behind you--but the frigid cold is on the way.
All things in balance and moderation...
80% humidity
As a Houstonian, sincerely,
Winter fans be like: i love winter but I'm never going to go outside and I'll stay inside in my conditioned home
The last time we had a really solid snow here, which was years ago, I went outside and made a pile of snow and laid on it for about an hour while it was actively snowing. I loved every second of it. Meanwhile all of my summer loving relatives stayed inside and complained for the 4 days that the snow lasted. They couldn't even handle 4 days of weather they didn't like. I live with it year round most years.
Eh, depends on location. Summer at the beach is awesome. Summer in a desert, not so much.
Nah. I Live in the Great Basin. Anyone who thinks it's a desolate, insufferable landscape can kindly stay away in their coddled temperate baby cribs.
It didn't used to be as bad as it is today a short while ago. It will continue to be worser for the rest of our lives.
Got AC? Cool. No? Not cool.
This. Heat can be nice when you can cool off in the pool and can easily escape it indoors. Not so fun if there is no escape for weeks or months.
I love the winter, but it obviously sucks if you freeze to death.
Honesty there's so many adverts about sunny holidays via plane that I honestly wouldn't be shocked when oil corps turn out to pay for lots of them. Makes the heatwaves more appealing
I wouldn't be surprised if you're right
I hate bugs. I hate everything being full of bugs and flies and the trash cans outside stink like poop in the heat. I hate having bug babies everywhere. I hate having a deadly lazer above me so that I can only choose between burning myself alive, wearing disgusting cream, or covering up like crazy and sweating even more. All the food goes bad instantly. The food in the supermarket is infested with flies. I wake up at 4 am because stupid Altbau doesn't allow for proper outside blinds. I hate that it's either fucking up the environment even more by using AC or heat stroke. I also hate overdone AC in buildings that gives me a cold. Have you ever had a feverish cold during summertime? It's awful. And makeup, you cannot do makeup in the heat without it becoming a smudge of sunscreen, color, oil and sweat. Have I mentioned the bugs and caterpillars and maggots and larvae and everything, everything is alive? And then, when it rains and everything cools down for a bit, you get earthworms.
You know what's amazing? Cold ass dry snowy winter days. Bug free heaven.

I love the cold, clear, still winter nights when there's so many stars you think you're seeing things, and it's so quiet you can hear the owls fly by.
Thank you for perfectly describing just about all the reasons I would skip summer altogether if I could.
The one missing complaint from my end is that you can't do anything outside or in a non-AC building without instantly sweating like you took a shower with your clothes on.
And don't get me started on everything being on fire. The only thing worse than regular summer is a summer where you can't see the skies for several month's due to the smoke and you have to worry about your house burning down all the damn time.
Couldn't agree more with the OOP.
Winter can get in the fucking sea because it's so dark all the time. Mid to late spring is definitely best though.
When I was younger I preferred being cool over being hot, but nowadays I almost never think that it's actually too hot. You just gotta adjust your mental, idk how but it being hot is just nice in a way
Completely disagree. Summer is my favorite season and would remain so in the complete absence of PR.
This post reminds me of a friend in the ad business who told me people only think iced drinks taste better because in the early 1900s some advertising genius created a campaign to convince people of that. No, sorry, cold drinks are more refreshing. The ancient Romans thought so too, and used to haul ice down from the Alps, centuries before the advertising industry even existed.
You don't need refreshing if you're not already overheated.
Hot weather is a lot more comfortable than cold weather to me tbh
Same. I'll take 110F/43C any day over 10F/-10C. 85/35 is my happy place.
You're mad.
20c or lower.
If it's warmer I am not liable for dripping sweat all over things.
Naw, 75F+ is gross. 60F is the sweet spot.
Too cold. 75°F year round is ideal. I wish I could afford San Diego.
Naw, light jacket weather is superior to shorts weather all day, everyday
Nah. Being naked in the face of the burning sun is superior to needing clothes for comfort.
Naw, sweating just for standing outside ain't it. I'd rather have the option to be cold outside and warmer with clothes if I choose.
Grew up in San Diego. Twas 75F year round
