The sun sucks, being forced to shower like every 4 hours just to not feeling sweaty, the fucking mosquitoes, the fact you can’t wear anything that you want anymore due the heat, the people outside… The fucking beach. I try to avoid it… The fucking sand, not a fan of it. Is scratchy, harsh, annoying and it infiltrates in every nook and cranny. Is not worth the annoyance just to shower yourself with salt water.

    I didn’t like summers or winters where I used to live, so I moved to somewhere where I like both seasons. Then moved again to somewhere that I love all four seasons.

    But I get what you’re saying; you’re describing the summers of my childhood. Hot and humid so you feel like you need a cold shower within 5 minutes of walking outside. Sticky by day, swarmed by mosquitos at night.

    But you lost me at the sand bit. I love the beach and ocean when it’s like 10-30°C out. Colder and hotter are okay, too, but not as nice.

    Allergies by day, mosquitoes by night, heat during work, rain during leisure, it can get pretty bad. Autumn is awesome, it’s nicer out with no forces of nature used against anyone and the festivities and aesthetics are amazing, but Spring and Summer make the wait challenging.

    Ok Anakin. But please stop taking showers, that’s not how it works. Put some deodorant on and stay in the shades or in a breeze

    being forced to shower like every 3 hours just to not feeling sweaty

    Bro do you live in the desert? Or are you obese? Both? This feels like a very local/personal experience lol. Far from everyone has these issues with summer.

    Maybe it’s all a joke and I’m whooshing hard but… Anyway.

      Just sounds like Florida to me.

      100% humidity all the time. Temperatures in the 100’s (F) (>38C). Feels like the air is thick and heavy constantly. It’ll rain just long enough every so often to keep these attributes true almost all the time. Doesn’t matter how fit you are, just walking to your car is enough to make you feel like you just crawled out of the swamp. Worst of all, Florida doesn’t get Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter; We get Summer, Simmer, Summer, Fall.

        Yeah that sounds about right. I’ve lived two summers in south Florida and it was brutal. Summers here in northern Sweden are quite a lot more mild, obviously. Very comfortable. But can also get very hot, as well.

        So a very local thing indeed.

      I’m guessing you’ve never been to a tropical place during summer. They’re not exaggerating, any physical work you do within a couple of minutes you start sweating, it’s hell.

      There’s no such thing as bad weather only inappropriate gear.

      The problem is, in the summer, “appropriate gear” means an air conditioned house.

        In Texas we have summer heat that even an air conditioned house can’t keep up with at times. It can get hot enough that a some home AC systems will run and run and not maintain a comfortable temp.

          Can confirm. Already happened yesterday. The hot temps are creeping in early this year and I’m still dealing with all the fallen trees from the storms last week. Steamy as heck outside.

        Yes you can play tennis in bubble jackets rifling through snow but it’s not exactly pleasant, you can put skis on your skateboard but it ain’t the same.

    Here it used to be very nice every summer, but these days it is always unbearably hot and there’s a 1/3 chance that there’s smoke from forest fires and always heavy water and fire restrictions.

    I agree that summer is the worst, but it’s a regional thing. Also you don’t have to go to the beach or in the water. I avoid the beach like the plague. Mostly because the water is plagued.

    Couldn’t agree more with all your points. I don’t mind sunny days, but summer has been miserable these past few years, the heat makes me exhausted and letargic, thank God for AC. Winter on the other hand is bliss (at least where I live), mild temperatures, no bugs… I wish it would last forever.

    I’m Canadian in a place with a decent amount of snow and it’s cold for like six months of the year. I love summer.

    I do live near a popular cottage area so the downside to summer is all the asshole cottagers who tailgate aggressively if you aren’t driving 30km/hr or more over the speed limit.

    From reading this thread I’m convinced that most of you actually live in hell and have some kind of way of communicating with the living. Flying cockroaches… omg
