I used to LOVE summer but its just way too hot now.
Any maybe winters not cold enough people would appreciate some warmth
listen here, canadian, you may like it when your extremities hurt from how fucking cold it is, and love sweating because you have to wear layers to not freeze, but your nose is still cold, but some of us actually like feeling like we’re warm enough and being ok with things being bright, visible, welcoming and comfortable.
Too hot? just stay indoors between 11 to 3 and you’ll be fine.
EDIT: Unlike those random ass non summer months when it can rain or be shittier than usual at random, we know when it’s too fucking hot or so sunny it will burn you; it’s the same fucking time every day.
Too cold? Put on more clothes until you’re warm and cozy.
Too hot? Keep taking off clothes until you’re just a sweaty naked mess begging for the sweet release of death.
I got 3 layers on inside and my hands are still chilled and my feet bounce from being cold to being sweaty so I’m constantly taking my socks on and off. I was sitting in my office at work with my coat and jacket on for 3 hours yesterday before I got back up to a comfortable temperature after being outside. Also everything just fucking hurts all the time. Fuck this shit. I don’t have issues like this in summer.
It kinda sounds like you might need to see a doctor about that.
Wtf is a doctor going to do. It’s been this way my entire life.
Too cold? Put on more clothes until you’re warm and cozy.
again, different parts are difficult to keep warm, like my nose or my hands and feet. How the fuck am I meant to type with thick gloves on?
Also, the differing levels of activity and transitions make it awkward, I’m dressed in a thick coat because its cold, and my core starts to get warm because I’m walking , but my arms would be freezing, and when I get to my destination I take of my coat and stench bomb wherever the fuck I am
As opposed to being too hot all over and desperate for anything that gives the slightest momentary relief. Not being able stand any activity because movement just makes you hotter and the heat has sapped your will to live. Being sweaty all over no matter what you do because it’s all your body can do to keep you alive.
Our bodies generate heat. When trying to warm up, physics is on our side. When trying to cool down, we are fighting a losing battle. You’re worrying about typing in gloves while I’m trying to figure how to waterproof my whole system so I can work from my shower.
bruh just turn on a fan
That only helps up to about 80F for me. Beyond that, it’s just misery with a breeze.
Ok. It introduces wind. Temps still remain high.
Stay inside from 11-3? More like stay inside from May-September.
I never stop sweating for like four months of the year and hate it.
Too hot? just stay indoors between 11 and 3 and you’ll be fine.
Good thing no one works outdoors and every building has A/C.
It sucks to work outdoors full stop. You think they prefer it cold or rainy?
Canadian here. Fuck being cold.
How many mosquito bites did you get today?
Too hot? just stay indoors between 11 to 3 and you’ll be fine.
Cries in European (we usually don’t have AC)
A dehumidifier plus a “swamp cooler” (a bucket of ice in front of a fan) works pretty well so long as you keep it to one room and only expect it to work for a few hours or so. Otherwise you’ll be buying a lot of ice and doing a lot of work dumping the water from the dehumidifier.
Won’t the dehumidifier warm up the room again?
Yes, but it’s not a big deal because it only will run once the humidity gets above a certain level - especially if you’re using it to cover multiple rooms where any heat from it running will disperse across a wide area. You set it to something like 60% and it will pop on occasionally for a few minutes to maintain that level.
In a closed room with a swamp cooler it’s a bit of a different story, but that’s why I recommend that only for a short period of time, a couple of hours at most. Just long enough to cool down yourself and the room.
So you leave the dehumidifier on all the time on an automatic setting in a central location in the house to keep the air in the house fairly dry, run a swamp cooler late in the afternoon to cool down your room, and if it isn’t too hot and humid outside, open a couple of windows in the house to get some cross ventilation going and air out the house once the sun goes down.

bruh just turn on a fan
Bruh, learn physics: Those don’t work too well if it’s too humid. 🙄
… isn’t it the other way around?
Nope. You lose heat by evaporation of water on your skin. If the air is too humid, water can evaporate worse and worse.
That’s why heat in the Sahara is easier to handle than in the amazon forest.
OK, but I’m not talking about making your body temperature drop, I’m talking about feeling cooler. Doesn’t having more stuff in the breeze make it feel cooler?
I don’t know what else to tell you other than “evaporation makes it feel colder”.
Have you ever been in a Turkish sauna? That’s the same principle. Warm water in the air is definitely not pleasant and refreshing.
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.
in spring the rain is miserable, makes everything muddy, and you cant walk afterwards because of that mud + overgrown plants. and winter is just that but cold snow and the constant worry of my pipes freezing or water system fucking up. fall is decent but has nothing good for going on it, though going on walks at 100(f) is heavenly.
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.
wouldn’t you want 4 finger mittens?
Depends on your climate. Climate usually cold? Summer is a relief. Climate usually hot? Summer sucks.
people who say they like [other season] are lying to themselves. It is objectively correct to like [poster’s favorite season]
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?
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
May I present a counter argument:
#THE FUCKING SUN
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
You should write a book. That’s top tier descriptiveness.
where you get to take ridiculously hot saunas, then jump in the snow or lake,
Be careful. That behavior can cause a stroke.
❌Hot girl summer
✅Cold bitch winter
I love summer because it’s the only season that’s consistently not cold, and I hate being cold more than I hate being hot.
Yeah, being hot sucks but drink water and snack and you’ll survive. Being extremely cold is PAIN. That said I much prefer spring. Warm days, cool nights, and rain is pretty neat.
People always say “just put on more layers” but it’s important to understand that cold kills way more people than heat. Depending on the source, the ratio is between 9:1 and 18:1.
Still, I find it objectively easier to defend from cold than heat. Other than living indoors with AC or inside water, what can you do?
I can get used to being hot. Plus you get relief in the shade and at night. When it’s cold, it’s too cold during the day, night, sun, or shade. It’s also a PITA to put on several layers of clothes plus a coat. In the summer I can pretty much roll a t shirt, shorts, and flip flops 24\7.
several layers of clothes plus a coat
You’re wearing the wrong clothes.
I walk/hike for hours in -2–20C with 1-2 layers plus a coat. You have your skin layer; some kind of generuc athletic wear to wick away sweat, your insulating layer, a thick sweater, and your coat, but usually I just have the skin layer and unzipped coat.
Same with the legs, long underwear for the skin, sweatpants for insulation, and snowpants, but usually just jeans and underwear.
I know how to dress, dumbass. I don’t like the cold, so I wear three layers plus a coat on my upper and two layers on my bottoms along with wool socks and winter boots. … Several layers. Plus hat, gloves and a face covering if it’s also windy.
If you’re dressing correctly, IDK how you can be cold. Get a thicker insulating layer?
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.
God I love winter. Love to go snowshowing on the lake when it’s frozen. Can’t go hiking in the mud during spring or fall. Camping when it’s 95 sucks. Just relaxing outside for hours in the 20s is ideal. Winter is amazing.
My wife works for the schools and still has summer off. I have two kids in high school and one in college. All summer off. I hate summer. I’m going snow camping the week after Christmas though. Without them.
I also enjoy actually seeing the fucking sun once in a while.
Spotted a 9 to 5 workoid. (It takes one to know one)
God I love summer. Hard to go to the lake when it’s frozen. Can’t go hiking in the mud during spring or fall. Camping when it’s 35 sucks. Just relaxing outside for hours in the 20s isn’t ideal. Summer is amazing.
Same, drink plenty of water and you’re fine. I’ll take the warm weather over the cold any day of the year. Cold sucks, because all your doing is trying to stay warm.
I completely disagree. I easily stay warm camping in the snow, I have the proper gear. I am completely unable to be cool outdoors in the summer.
And what kind of activities do you do while you’re out there in the cold? In the snow? Hang out in your tent. Walk to the fire to stay warm and back to the tent. I mean really there’s not a ton that you can’t actually do unless you are specifically out there to ski or snowboard or some other stupid cold weather sport like that.
I go snowshoeing during the day, or maybe drive around in the snow, my car is very capable. We don’t have mountains nearby to ski or snowboard, and I don’t care for cross country skiing.
Sometimes I’ll drive to town for a meal in a local diner, or I’ll spend some time cooking a nice meal at my camp. I don’t spend time in my tent except to sleep or change my clothes, maybe roll a joint away from the wind.
I can sit comfortably outside in a chair for hours at -20C without getting cold. I like to stand by the fire sometimes, maybe listen to some music, there’s never anyone right next to me it will bother. And yes a fire is nice, but I don’t need it to stay warm. I do like to cook over the fire also. A campstove is efficient, but cooking some meat over a fire in the snow is a vibe.
Sometimes I have data coverage where I camp, and I might spend a little time on my phone or on a tablet. They don’t mind bitter cold, although batteries don’t perform quite as well. I have lots of options for power sources if needed. But honestly I prefer when I’m outside of data range and no one can reach me.
Lol the guy downvoting you because his pathetic “gotcha” didn’t work.
What’s wrong with skiing or snowboarding?
That’s kind of a biased take, isn’t it? You clearly don’t enjoy snow activities, but that doesn’t mean others don’t like them. We hike, cook, play various games, all outside in the snow. Wear the proper gear and there is no bad weather.
Warm weather he says.
Sure, “warm” is definitely a description.
A better description might be “So balls-squelchingly hot that you are constantly sweating, even when not moving, and you have to carry a spare change of clothes for when your first one inevitably becomes drenched; and you are constantly miserable because your body is not designed to be comfortable in +38°C temperatures and, unlike cold weather, you can not just wear more appropriate clothing because even when you are butt ass naked, your back will still resemble a fucking waterfall.”
But sure, let’s go with “warm” weather.
Lol I’m in the south, where that’s normal. Guess I’m used to it.
Ever been ice fishing? Snow mobiling? Those are both fun ways to pass the tine at the lake in winter.
Frozen lakes are what you can skate on. 35 is unbearable camping temperature. Way too hot.
This message brought to you by Canada
I love summer, but this does kind of make sense. I live in Korea, where they have a long winter break (Christmas until March) from school. People here seem to love winter, which is usually absolutely frigid and miserable.
The sun is out.
Plants are doing their thing.
Life is abundant.
Idk who the fuck actually thinks “yes winter thank god”
No bugs.
Snow.
Sun is still out but isn’t a deadly laser.
Hot cocoa by a crackling fire.
Snow If only.
Agree with the rest
It isn’t even winter yet and we’ve had four good snows already. We were -19c yesterday morning. I’m in southwest Ohio. Barely anyone around here really believes in global warming outside of the Earth’s natural cycles, because it certainly has not gotten hotter here. Yeah I understand global data vs local data but the lived experience is we’re very often below average temperature. Even summer days at the water park, sometimes it’s pretty chilly to be wet in a swimsuit. We’re at the same latitude as Portugal.
The heat is restrictive.
Plants are releasing allergens, requring medication and/or extensive exposure therapies.
Abundance of life can be overwhelming and invasive in the form of road traffic full of boat trailers, pickup flag caravans, and grills and smokers billowing on residential development scales.
I can regulate my temperature in the cold, where there are barely any allergens that get me and everyone’s holed up inside so I can be outside and in peace more often than not.
But my ancestors were bog people. If it isn’t misty or foggy in the morning I am genetically obligated to be grouchy until ingesting heated caffiene or complaining about the english.
People who live in hot places I assume
