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.

Winter you can add layers.
Summer, there's only so many layers you can remove before somebody calls the cops
Wym? That's the best part!
I fucking hate summer. It’s terrible in Florida. Not as intolerable on the west coast.
Not as intolerable on the west coast.
On the actual coast, sure. Come to the Central Valley of California, tho. Shit's basically the same as Florida except that it's not guaranteed to rain every day around 5pm. 90-100+ heat with 90-100% humidity. 😵💫

Winter too cold: Oh no, I guess I’ll put on some fuzzy socks and drink some chamomile tea
Summer too hot: Guess I’ll go to the fuckin ER for heat stroke

“The Coldest Winter I Ever Spent Was a Summer in San Francisco”
This quote is often attributed to Mark Twain, but he isn't known to have said it. Could be based on a similar statement about Paris by an English actor named James Quin in the 1700s.
Poland. It's not that summer is amazing - it just sucks the least.
It's hot and everything wants to eat you, but it's colorful and sunny and summer nights are ahhhhhh...
Autumns tend to be pretty. And rainy as hell. Meh.
Winter was pretty when I was a kid. Nowadays it's autumn, minus pretty and plus balls freezin off. No snow, fuck you.
Spring is wet and green, but also cold. Good contender against summer, barely loses IMO.
Edit: Additional context - when it gets cloudy and grey in Poland, it gets fucking uber depressing. I dunno what it is, but almost can feel thr grey communist past creepin up...
Really depends on location. Summer in my area is brutal and the heat lasts close to 5 months, so yes I agree it’s the worst season. Spring is next simply because of all the hailstorms. Fall is ok but still too warm for actual fall standards. The upside is our winters are mild, so it’s the best season.
I suffer in these summers, but I still prefer this suffering to the winter. Winter is too depressing. Christmas is about all that is nice about Winter.
The forest is beautiful this time of year if you can avoid getting eaten alive by mosquitos and ticks.
Depends on where you are. Miserable in hotter places I'm sure, but in Sweden it's quite honestly glorious. Sun up from 03:30 to 22 in Stockholm, and it never quite gets dark. Does wonders for your mood.
Winter, however, is a cold, dark and wet mess. Truly depressive.
Spring and autumn are alright, but suffer from just a little bit too much rain.
Naturally, the climate crisis is making things slightly too warm for comfort now, and we're going to have to retrofit all homes to withstand heat better before too long.
In Alaska all of the seasons have their charm, except Spring. Spring is a bad time.
The thick ice on the roads starts to melt and you have wet ice for an unacceptably long time. All of the soft fluffy white snow on the sides of the road hardens and gets covered in dirt being spread to make roads drivable. Every time you leave the house it’s a harrowing experience, and everyone’s so used to the danger of driving they just shrug and go ”yeah, it’s bad out there huh?” Randomly you get a cold snap without snow just to make you suffer a bit before it goes back to thawing.
Yep summer in Scotland just means it rains slightly less and doesn’t get dark at 3pm
I've been told it's positively Mediterranean this year though, is that right?
We had the driest period in 100 years a month or two ago, didn’t rain for 5 weeks or something. Back to 18-20C and only raining half the time so better than usual I guess aye

"Climate crisis is making things slightly too warm for comfort"
Oh my. How bothersome.
I know you didn't mean it that way, just the understatement had me cackling.
Well, it begins with too warm for comfort here, and then it gets progressively worse.
I honestly love the solitude that harsh winters bring. And all the heavy clothing I get to wear, the much longer nights, going through my stockpile of canned and preserved goods. There have been winters where I was snowed in for weeks, and they were glorious
It's true, the brain and body need extra care to prevent depression during winter, but I'm much more depressed during the long, blistering hot summer months
Yeah that winter sounds fun.
Try 7 months of dark at 3pm and grey overcast and mild drizzle everyday.
Where do I sign up?
Cumbernauld

Winter is quite nice when there is snow. We don't get that in Stockholm, for the most part.
Winter, however, is a cold, dark and wet mess. Truly depressive.
Anyone saying summer 'only has good pr' doesn't have winters like that.

Very much agree.
Yesssss hard agreeeee
People only say summer is good because we used to get 2 months off during it
This absolutely. Also summer didn't use to feel like an inner circle of hell 30 years ago.
It depends on where you are. Seattle summers are amazing (shhhh, don't tell anyone).
Same. I’m in the Seattle area and summer is incredible…skies are clear temps are mostly super comfortable except for like 2 weeks when I need a fan.
Me in Seattle right now: it's too hot, it's too bright, there are too many tourists, I want the cold and rain back
Today or this week?
I was gonna say no way to OP but you're right. If you're somewhere where it's mostly like around 100 F or higher then fuck that.
