Fully agree
I heard there’s 104 days of summer vacation, til school comes along just to end it.
more like 104° days until summer ends
For a certain definition of PR, this is true. Most of the cultural associations of the seasons come from ‘classic’ literature, most of which, in the English-speaking world, came from England and New England. How many places in the Southern US actually get a leaf colour change in fall? The cultural touchstones defining the associations of seasons were written in places where the winters are dreary and cold and summers are a bit hot sometimes but not usually too horrible, and certainly not likely to kill you. Try telling someone living in the South of the US that summer is the best season, see how many warning shots they fire past your nose.
I mean, summer is different than it was 50 years ago. It’s hotter, longer, and dryer.
Less rain but more humidity
And I don’t get to stop going to work every day.
There’s only one great season. Sadly it was quite short this year, at least where I live. https://song.link/i/549480694
I only liked it because I was off. Otherwise, I’ve always hated summer. I used to dream of having a fall or winter vacation instead. I didn’t have AC at home or at school growing up, so if I was going to be uncomfortable, just let me go back. I want to go to the zoo on a nice fall afternoon, not the second coming of Satan’s asshole.
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.
Idk, I like summer here in Poland.
I like summer. Not when it’s high heat and humidity, but I do like it being light outside after 3:30 PM.
I can’t stand it. I can’t sleep well with the sun up. My kids don’t sleep well with the sun up. Who to I have to sacrifice to the sun to get darkness between at least 10pm and 6am? (Though preferably 9pm and 6:30, if the sun is up for negotiations.)
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.
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.
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
You ever looked at a stock image search of “Arab guy in desert” and wondered why they are wearing all that clothing?
So very true. Dressing for cold is so much easier than heat it’s mindboggling to read some of these summer fan comments. Like, do you guys actually live on the same planet as I do? Cause this one sucks the minute temperatures go past 20c.
Some folks just tolerate extreme temps differently. I am nearly impervious to heat, but begin hating life below 10C.
It really depends on the climate you’re used to living in, the winters here are in the -20c range and yesterday it was 41c. I’m basically happy as long as it doesn’t get within 10c of the extremes.
Tell med you live far away from the coast without telling me. Also i sympathize
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.
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.
