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.

Go swimming or wear light cotton.
I do. But in the next heatwave the local lake water might reach 38°C or water became so scarce from the drought…: now what?
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.
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.
Summer people are all masochists.
Yeah, but we are warm and happy.
Y’all cold weather people don’t make sense to us either. Nobody wants to sleep in a cold bed. We describe nice people as warm, icy people are bad.
Nobody wants to relax in a hammock when it’s icy and windy out.
Nobody wants to sleep in a cold bed.
Are you sleeping without comfy blankets? That’s on you.
If you want a comfy blanket then you want to be warm. Warm is good.
Warm is innate, a primal need.
How are you going to become warm in the depths of hell?
No need to become, already am.
I never sleep better than in a near-freezing room with warm blankets. Well maybe on trains. Cold room with warm blankets is like the definition of cozy.
A room so warm you don’t want blankets is miserable.
You can heat up a cold room and a cold bed in winter much more easily than to cool down during summer.
I think that’s the problem.
Winter people probably like bundling up inside. Summer people are outside doing things. Most of my summer people friends, also enjoy winter activities, just maybe not as much as summer.
Winter people must be… Terminally online? 🤷♂️
I am terminally online, but I spent winter in Kazakhstan, xinjiang, northern China, and Hokkaido, wearing a jacket doesn’t stop me from going outside, it just stops me from looking like someone just dumped a bucket of water on me after 5 minutes.

Nah, man, it’s a good theory but I know a guy who wore shorts in Antarctica. 30 years ago, too, not the pussy above freezing summers we get now. Totally mad outdoorsman, loves the cold. He’s not the only one, either.
Remember, moving warms you up. That’s why skiers can wear those sexy Ned Flanders outfits and not die. Even though they are insulating, they’re only good for people doing exercise.
Edit: And then there’s me, a guy who hates exercise and loves summer, because of all that beautiful cheery sunlight. Goddamn SAD.
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
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
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.
well, until nuclear winter, anyways
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.Unfortunately for us, the best times of the year are about half a month in the spring and half a month in the fall
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.)
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°.
°C
Yeah it’s obviously not Kelvin or whatever mental illness the US uses.
Not everyone on the Internet knows that different temperature scales other than their home country standard exists unfortunately…
Just preventing the predictable “bUt tHaT’s ACtUAlLy arOunD FrEEzIng” comments.
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.
And eventually the coats will crush you, create their own weather system, collapse into a black hole. What’s your point?
Yeah but putting that layer back might be very expensive 😄
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.
Prefer snow to ticks and mosquitoes ngl.
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.
Alaska’s LOL…
Na I can barely handle the light purple areas. I’d rather not die.
People do die
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.
Phoenix and Vegas are competing for worst place to build gigantic cites.
Amen! I may not believe in a god but if I did, it’s obvious that land was not meant for humans.
Ooh, Arizona, sounds exotic!
Where is that? Somewhere in Africa?
*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.
I love summer, but you have to do it right. Going to the store and walking across a hot blacktop parking lot is asking for a bad time.
Hanging out in a park, going for hike, swimming, hitting the beach, more daylight hours, ice cream, grilling and admiring the greenery. That’s peak life on Earth 🌎🌍
Heat index was about 42°C and humid today. Just being outside for 30 seconds was miserable, let alone walking. Can’t even think about any outdoor activities.
Yes, but not at more than 36°C. Possibly swimming though… in the shadows, so the sun doesn’t kill you with cancer rays.
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
I have several friends in Australia. Most of them have never experienced snow so how unusual is that really?
