Huh. Summer’s my favorite. Our summers are wonderful where I live. In fact it’s the only season I enjoy at all, which in itself is a bit of a bummer.
I like summer the most cause it’s the only season I don’t feel like shit. Whether it’s allergies, sinuses, or just general hatred for going outside (and no don’t tell me to just put on more layers cause I’m already wearing 5 layers in 8° weather and still freezing my ass off while struggling to move). Doesn’t help that I work in a cooler so spending 8-11 hours in a cold room only to leave into the colder outside isn’t enjoyable. I miss going on walks at local parks, but all I want to do now is get back in bed ASAP cause that’s the warm place.
I’m already wearing 5 layers
Why would you need more than 3 layers? Is your middle layer not insulating enough? Are there exposed parts of your body? If you don’t feel like wearing a scarf or mask, some vaseline on the nose/cheeks can help.
Tried the Vaseline cause I’m not allowed to wear scaves or masks at work where it’s also cold af. Didn’t work. Same with trying to wear 3 layers of cottom gloves while working which didn’t stop my hands from being in pain from the cold (they get cold faster than anything else on me) and more hinders my ability to work efficiently. I’m only comfortable when in a 70-85° area (or whatever my shower can get to at max heat). Any less and I’m freezing, but I can handle a decent bit more.
3 layers of cotton gloves
Big, bulky mittens, hopefully your jacket has straps on the wrist so no heat escapes there. If you need to use a touch-screen, they make 1-finger mittens.
My problem is with having to twist my hands and bend my fingers around my hook a lot. Work only allows the cotton gloves they supply which get changed out often due to them getting soaked fast which only makes it colder. They gave me these sleeve things which are extremely tight, but even wrapping them around the ends of the gloves doesn’t stop my hands from freezing.
I’m not a fan of too much heat either, but honestly, where I live, it’s not even that bad most summers. It’s the darkness around christmas that’s the worst. The 3 weeks before and the 3 weeks after specifically.
Spring and autumn are my favorites for sure, and spring is generally better because it rains less. There’s something cleansing about that season.Depends on your climate. Climate usually cold? Summer is a relief. Climate usually hot? Summer sucks.
I love summer because the weather is nice and I get good sunlight and that feels nice. I can walk to work in a cotton shirt instead of a waterproof parka. The rest of the year where I live is constant grey and drizzle. We don’t even get fun winter shit like snow here, just grey and wet and cold.
Winter and Summer are both too extreme. That leaves Spring and Autumn.
I hate bugs, and Spring is the ‘buggiest’ season, so for me, Autumn wins by default, lol.
With climate change they both last a week in average.
My favorite temp is around 15-18C. Sweater weather.
Cold sucks. But you don’t need a lot of protection to be comfortable in 15C weather, and if you’re too hot because you’ve been working or something, instant relief by just taking off a layer.
Summer is too hot. Winter always sucks.
I am currently living in Romania, where summer will kill you and winter will also kill you
My house is 100 years old and my heating consists of three electric heaters, two wooden stoves and
a partridge in a pear treeair conditioningEDIT: My greatgrandparents built the house themselves. It is not well-insulated at all. I may realistically have to ditch if it hits like -25°C
I enjoy summer before it gets too hot. June is excellent. August is rough. Spring is best though
Gimme dat vitamin D
Fuck summer and winter, two sides of the same shitty extremes coin. Fall, and to a lesser extent spring, are where it’s at.
Fall is the best. It beats spring because spring tends to have more/worse storms, at least in place I’ve lived.
No ticks is pretty great.
…is pretty great about winter, I assume was the rest of that sentence?
I’ve only gotten ticks in summer
I live in WV. Global warming has allowed those fuckers to THRIVE. I used to play in the woods and get like 5 a summer. I am now older and rarely go beyond a yard and find 3+ each time. I found one on me last month. They usually disappear in September. It’s to the point I’m ready to bite the bullet and buy annoying ass guineas and just let the fuckers roam. I’m not super rural, and I’m sure my neighbors might get mad, but fuuuuck lyme disease.
My life hack is not going outside 🫠
10ish years ago I would have said Summer is the best but Spring and Autumn are close contendente. With winters being only ok because of the snow.
Nowadays I still say summer is best but spring and autumn are gone (replaced by alternating weeks of summer and weeks of winter) and winter is just dark, wet and too cold to be enjoyable but not cold enough to have snow.
And also summers used to be like 30°C max if it was hot, maybe a little warmer, now if we get a week of summer that is 30°C max we consider it a cool summer because on average the max day temperature hangs at around 38~40°C.
Summer? When things are green? I can get strawberries from our garden? It isn’t dark at 4:30 in the afternoon? I don’t have to scrape ice off the car while it preheats idling?
That atrocious season?
May I present a counter argument:
#THE FUCKING SUN
Oh those two weeks where it’s like super nice and your replenish your vitamin d for the year?
Norwegian here
Yes, that season with 40°C (104°F) and up to 90% humidity, where you can’t be outside in the sun for a quarter of the available daylight if you don’t want to die young, and the only way to fight the heat is AC.
#TeamWinter
I used to live in Australia, and moved to the Nordics. I love summer and winter here. Australian summers are too hot, and winter is just wet and cold. Nordic winters have snow (hopefully soon) and it’s dry outside, and summers are maximum 30c, anything over 25c is a heatwave. I can deal with that.
That was also my strategy to fight global warming, I moved up North. I enjoy the climate here much more (even if my countrymen tell me I am crazy).
Yeah in the nordics you have actual seasons. You miss summer.
Ya that atrocious season. The season where you can walk through the woods on a full moon, the luminescence making the snow practically glow as the Milky Way makes its Milky Way. That season that has a stillness and quietness not found anywhere else, where you could hear a pin drop from a football field away. That atrocious season where you get to take ridiculously hot saunas, then jump in the snow or lake, and get to feel clean from the inside out. That atrocious season where you get to cuddle up with your family in front of a nice fire and read a book. Bleh who needs it
where you get to take ridiculously hot saunas, then jump in the snow or lake,
Be careful. That behavior can cause a stroke.
You should write a book. That’s top tier descriptiveness.
BULLSHIT! We get longer daylight, and the sweat is just a gentle reminder that you aren’t in constant pain from temperatures below 60F. Also there are less snowbirds jamming the roadways.
converts 60F to Celsius 60F is genuinely the most comfortablr possible temp for me lol. Even a little too warm if it’s sunny.
I’ve lived in temps ranging from 112°F to -23°F. Anything 40°F-85°F is fine by me.
You can always put on more layers. You can’t remove skin.
And you’re not in constant pain from temperature above 80?
That doesn’t happen until after 90f. I’m from Florida and I would love for the temps to stay in the 80’s during the summer!
Oh I see, your brain has been addled by the heat and humidity :(
