Ooh! Ooooh! Me me me! Me! I am dying of death!

At least when you're cold you can pop another layer on, but when it's too hot and you took all your clothes off, what's next? Taking your skin off? Huh? I vote against.

Personally, I prefer it to be hot. I don't like not being able to escape the heat, but at least it's light and there are flowers.

However, I don't like it to be this hot.

I was in Corfu in August a couple of years back. It was 40 deg C which was just painful. But it's currently worse here because it's just so fucking humid.

20C is my preferred top end, anything after that and I start getting uncomfortable. 30C+ and I get increasingly irritable and headachey.

I find myself to be a bit of a contradiction with hot weather as I don't do well in the heat at all and struggle when it gets over 25 but at the same time I love it as it means its nice enough to spend lots of time outside doing all sorts of things which I love and this is harder to do in winter. Plus I find all the layers I have to wear in winter annoying. Give me shorts and T-shirt any day.

Yup. Inside is boiling, outside is scorching, and walking for too long anywhere has me dripping with sweat which feels gross AF.

At least in the winter I can put more clothes on. Hard to take clothes off when you're already down to nothing.

If it helps the nights began to get longer again on the 22nd of June, the day after the longest day of the year! That's what keeps me going.

For me the heatwave has broken. I now have cool air blowing in the house. I just need the walls now to cool down and the inside temperature should return to normal-ish.

Warm is nice, the 35c+ we had yesterday can fuck right off. Low to mid 20s is alright, comfortable beach weather.

My house has no thermostat and landlord doesn't care. The walls are cracking and done off the windows don't close up (you can get a finger out while it's locked)

It's an oven in summer and a freezer in winter.

Hardly any openable windows either. At least they can't take my misting fan away

Same. I used to like hot weather when I was under 30 but even in my 20s was starting to dislike it. I don't mind a nice mild day but I could happily go through my life without every experiencing another day with temps over 25C. I still like 4 seasons, just don't need the summer to be very hot. Maybe 3 seasons would do, autumn, winter & spring so long as there was enough daylight hours for growing gardens.

Isn't hot weather for you guys 20 deg C?

I like seasons. It should be hot now, and it is.

I love the hot weather, it's relaxing and you can spend more time outside.

I don't 'hate' it I just wish it was a bit cooler. :/

I have always prefed cold. I mean I would like crops to grow all year but as an individual its way easier to deal with cold. You can always bundle up more but you have a limit to how much clothes you can remove. Granted extreme cold brings limits of its own. im on fairenheit so its like the teens where it gets bad and when it actually goes negative its pretty dangerous. I feel like over 90 is sorta like the teens and lower. its getting dangerous and then over a 100 is like under 10. Its funny though because 70's is great and 80's can be nice. So hot gets real bad real fast.

Cold weather sucks when you have to get up early in the morning. The cold can be rather shocking when jumping out of bed. I'd rather not end up shivering.

It's alreet when I'm not grafting in it.

Usually it's throwing up bars in marquees so it's double hot. Or driving work vans with no AC.

The roads where fucking awful today. It's scary getting stuck in traffic with no water

As someone who grew up in Florida - it gets a lot more bearable if you exercise outside when it is hot and drink a lot of water.

Since AC is ubiquitous where I grew up, I spent a lot of my youth completely de-conditioned to the heat, constantly moving from one air conditioned space to another, avoiding being outside whenever possible. But when I decided I was tired of being fat, and exercising would probably help with that, I started exercising outside a lot more. Often this meant playing ultimate frisbee in the middle of the day during school lunch breaks, or hiking all day on a backpacking trip in the swamp, or riding my bike around my university's campus. I found that as long as I was consistently exposed to the heat and regularly did some amount of high intensity cardio in it, I was generally quite comfortable most of the time.

And of course, exercise in the heat means sweating a lot, which means you need to drink a lot of water.

Some of it is psychological. After all, when you are sucking air after sprinting around for 5 straight minutes for a point playing ultimate in the direct sun, relaxing in the shade feels quite comfortable - even if it is hot and humid. And you also get used to being sweaty - it stops feeling "gross" and weird, and is just how life is. Which makes sense, since humans literally evolved the ability to sweat a lot for the purpose of cooling down in hot conditions.

Some of it is physiological. Eg, your body will learn to sweat more to release more heat. And I would also expect increased capillary density near the skin, so the body is more able to move blood to the body's surface and shed heat quicker. Also, after seeing Mexicans walk around in direct sun in 30° heat wearing sweatshirts and jackets because "it is chilly", I have a hypothesis that heat-adapted bodies simply produce less heat (maybe via decreased Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis?).
