I much prefer autumn/winter. Only when it gets really slippery from frozen over streets it starts to suck, i can always dress warmer. I cant wear less than nothing, and it is still way too hot.

Can always put on more clothes, but can't undress more than naked...
Remember when humanity had not almost eradicated two seasons through climate change and you could be a spring or autumn lover?
Remember when the wet bulb temperature was evolutionarily advantageous for sweat-monsters like me? Now I'm just as hot, and infinitely more wet than everyone around me.
Right?
I'm done with summer. Looking forward to that first early morning air nip with a dusting of frost on the ferns, presaging the arrival of snow.
I'll enjoy winter as long as it lasts. Probably not for long, snow has become a distant memory
Unfortunately for us, the best times of the year are about half a month in the spring and half a month in the fall
Cool. We don't get snow anymore though... just gray weather, cold and humid enough to be uncomfortable but not enough to be fun.
Summer just started (here in the northern hemisphere). I'm soaking up every last bit of warmth in hopes it lasts until it comes around again. (It never does.)
No cold seeping so deeply into my bones that it lodges itself there to radiate outward through my whole body so I can barely move.
No aching dryness making it almost impossible to breathe.
I know many aren’t built for heat but cold causes me near-debilitating pain and drains my soul of life. I’ll enjoy the warmth and sun while it lasts.
I thought 2 of those writhers of pain over on the left were boobs so yeah
lol. I was starting to wonder how stoned I was. Definitely the first thing I saw!
hey, it's you from the past. you got too stoned so we had to dilate your time.
when you read this, you'll be in tomorrow. reading this from yesterday. we are you. you are everywhere. why is gamora
Summer used to be hot but it also used to be perfectly fine to sit in the shade and feel fine. Nowadays the temps even in the shade are over 30-35°.
Yeah it's obviously not Kelvin or whatever mental illness the US uses.
Come visit me in south Louisiana.

I had family in Nola, I'm good lmao. Everyone thinks Southerners are dramatic or exaggerating, but the Southern States hands-down have the worst climate in the country thanks to the humidity and heat mixture.
Especially if you're away from the cost, it's all the worst parts of tropical temperatures without an ounce of the good.
The high right now is 99, the feels like is 109, and having just come inside, there's just enough breeze right now to piss you off rather than cool you. We have an extreme heat warning from now until the fuckin 3rd, and a lot of us have zero legal protection from working outside in this God forsaken heat.
I've been hearing of some local construction crews threatening the bosses if they have to go outside in this heat, and I know many people in my industry are currently quitting because our northern us based corporate overlords decided this week to get a stick up their ass about uniforms, insisting upon heavy ass cargo pants, a thick cotton undershirt, an even thicker polo, and the most unnecessarily heavy duty safety vest. My crew of 10 lost 2 people this week because they refused to go out in this bullshit wearing all that. The rest of us also refused, but corporate made an example out of them.
That being said, Louisiana is still worse. And I'd argue most of Alabama.
I've been there in August, and it and the rest of the PNW is uncomfortable in Summer. But as someone from Mississippi, nowhere in the US has the heat and humidity mixture that the Gulf States do.
From June to September, it feels like you're breathing in a full sauna when you step outside. You never cool off, you just learn to tolerate always being wet and wondering if it's sweat or moisture in the air that condensed on your skin
I'm typing this from an inflatable pool in my back yard. The water bill is going to be outrageous but that's a small price to pay to be able to go outside.
How's the humidity?
In the winter months it's humid. In the summer the Willamette Valley isn't very humid. Currently it's 46% humidity as I type this.
Na I can barely handle the light purple areas. I'd rather not die.
I actually love the feeling of a hot wall of furnace hitting me when I go outside. Thick smell of life in the air, chlorophyll, baking earth. The hot blanket of the sun. The sweat, the sweaty men, the shirtless men. OK I am getting off track, we were talking about sweaty men I think?
Being a "summer lover" means I hate cold and love sunlight. It doesn't mean I wanted the burning hellscape we're all going to have to get used to. Wish we had listened to climate scientists and taken action...
Here in Australia I'm hosting a snow trip next week.. there is still no snow in the mountains where we're goin
Also f summer. Hayfever and bushfires suck
There's no limit to how many layers I can wear in winter, but there's a limit to how many I can take off in the summer. Simple as
You don't have a knife? They're not nearly as expensive as a good coat.
Even with a knife scraping off everything that makes you human, you will eventually encounter a limit.
There is definitely a limit to how many layers you can put on.
I mean a shirt, sweater, and insulated jacket can keep me very warm flying down a windy mountain at <-20C so do you really need that many layers?
I've done undershirt - overshirt - jacket 1 - jacket 2 in the dead of winter. If the Sun vanished and the temperature plummeted to -100 I'm pretty sure i could figure out how to add a third jacket and then a blanket on top of that.
The only season I can enjoy outside is Fall. Summer is too hot, Winter is too cold, and I get allergies in the Spring.
Fall is perfect.
Winter makes my lupus act up terribly and I can hardly function. Summer heat nowakes my heart condition act up and I can hardly function. There's a period of like 2 weeks in the spring and fall that are perfect
Texan here. Winter used to be a nice break from our hot, humid, miserable summers. Now some years I don't even need to wear a jacket. It's just hot all year round now. I hate it.
Love the summer. I love my skin not feeling cold as balls as soon as I step outside. Love not taking a cold ass shower in the morning before work. Love the sun being out later into the evening. Love doing outdoor shit. Swimming. Love the warm nights. Hanging out naked.
Winter is the sad time.
Why do you take cold showers in the winter? That seems like a poor personal choice if you don't enjoy the cold
I imagine oop refers to the water in the pipes getting cold over night in winter, and they're probably not patient enough for the hot water to start flowing.
The air in the room is cold, showering in a cold room is a cold shower compared to showering in a warm room. I have a steam shower now and I use it year round, even in the summer I will do steam and let the shower its self be cool water. Showering in cold air SUCKS
I have never once had a living arrangement where the shower didn't warm the room
I'm sure it would be expensive to replace but my current place has heated exhaust vents that reverse direction, I've seen the modern versions, but these straight up look like stove elements in the ceiling, they might not pass modern safety standards but they are really nice.
Hello, hot weather person. Congratulations on how we're going to INHERIT THE EARTH FROM THESE COLD WEATHER WEAKLINGS
That's fine im moving to canada the northern part that's my retirement plan lol
I love summer.
I’d rather have 90° than 9°.
I like having daylight past 4pm.
I like seeing blue skies and the sun.
I like being able to go outside without bundling up under five layers, and still being cold.
I like not having to shovel my walks, snowblower my drive, scrape off my car, etc.
I like swimming.
I like seeing green trees, colorful flowers , bumblebees, and nature.
I like taking my kid to the park so he can ride his skateboard.
I like going to the beach.
Fuck winter, man.
This is why I love living in a place that has more than 2 seasons.
Spring is short, but features temperatures in between 90 and 9, increasing daylight into the evening, blue skies and sun, moderate temperatures that don't require that much in the way of bundling if at all, very little (if any) wintery precipitation, all the nature stuff at its earliest pristine moments, lovely parks, and the beach never goes away around here regardless of the season.
Okay, so limited to no swimming in the spring because most water is still kinda chilly.
We also have Fall. It tends to be longer than the Spring, but with fewer of the benefits.
Rather have 95 and humid than a negative wind chill every single time.
90+ and humid is the worst type of environment this planet has to offer. Everything else, from Death Valley to the center of Antarctica, is infinitely better.
We should have switched places the last week then. I had 91°F and high humidity in my BEDROOM for the whole week. I would have rather camped at freezing temperatures than experience this
This is everyone in Arizona in the summer. “At least there is no windshield scraping!”
AZ people are delusional.
Peggy Hill was right
Phoenix is a monument to the hubris of man.
*Everyone in Southern AZ
The high desert portions of the state like Flagstaff and Sedona get snow every year and aren't nearly as bad as the Phoenix valley. It still gets pretty hot but it's not the unmitigated hellhole of constant 100 degree days.
Me, at 80 degrees: "A little chilly in here."
Yes I will gladly take the pits of hell over anything from Jack Frost or temperatures going anywhere below 70.
You can always put more on, but there's a hard limit to what you can take off.
But I enjoy being hot
Assuming you are talking in Fahrenheit you don't really need a jacket for everything above 35° as long as it doesn't rain or is particularly windy. 100° just make me feel as if I am getting cooked alive with nowhere to escape
Hence the picture. Above 70 F is where it begins to get uncomfortable. Then it gets much higher than that as well
I can easily survive temps in the around 35-37 C with just a fan and ice.
You haven't lived until you've jerry rigged the front grill of your fan with tubing; using a cooler full of ice water and gravity to circulate cold water through the tubing to create a poor man's AC.
If it was up to me the AC would get 1-3 weeks of use. My wife wants the AC; and what baby wants, baby gets.
I can easily survive temps in the around 35-37 C with just a fan and ice.
Human and animal safety: High wet-bulb temperatures impair the body's ability to cool itself, increasing the risk of heatstroke and hyperthermia. A WBT above 35°C (95°F) is considered critical, beyond which even healthy individuals can survive only a few hours without cooling. Recent studies suggest dangerous conditions may occur at lower thresholds, around 31°C (87.8°F) in humid environments
My wife wants the AC
