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...

    You fool! Thinking only in terms of conserving body heat.

    Light clothing is the cooler option, compared to being naked.

    Evaporative cooling using just your sweat. We're literally built for this as a species.

    Wear a hat and have a mai thai. It's like you don't even know people have lived in the Sahara for longer than language has existed.

    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.

    Cool. We don't get snow anymore though... just gray weather, cold and humid enough to be uncomfortable but not enough to be fun.

    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.

    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°.

    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 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?

    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.

    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.

    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'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.

    Canada's expensive. Maybe Russia will stop being fascist and I can head up there some day. Or maybe China will chill the fuck out and let me go to Tibet. It'd be pretty cool to do visa runs through Napal or India if they ever normalize relations with China.

    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.

    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

    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
