Poll: What's your opinion on summer?

[Beffudled Sheep_v1legacy]

Hate, hate, HATE it.
I start to sweat profusely at 60F or simply from having the sun shine directly on me at any temperature above freezing. I can't stand the heat, the humidity or the fekking insects that thrive during the summer. Mosquitoes, moths, beetles, spiders (technically not insects I know), ants, etc all drive me mad. I love cool - cold temperatures and gray skies and rainy days are my favorites. I have a remarkable tolerance for cold I find.

Sucks that in my part of the US it seems Autumn and Winter are disappearing... My Winter this past year rarely had temps below 50 during the day, at night sometimes it hit 40.

I want Summer to go away Dx

Loathe Summer. Australian Summers are way hotter then what you American's are used to. I'm beginning to loathe Winter as well. Too freaking cold.

I'd like to hear the Australian's definition of "too freaking cold", because it's not unusual to have several weeks of -30C (-22 Fahrenheit) in Finland.

Fun fact: when you're riding a bicycle when it's -40C (can't be sure about the temperature because mercury freezes at -39) you have to blink your eyes a lot, otherwise the water in your eyeballs starts to freeze.

Needless to say, I'm a summer person.

It's moreso my definition of too freaking cold. Our Winter's get down to just above 0C, and compared to -30C it's nothing. But I guess it's more the contrast of 45C down to 0C.

Well I love it because I don't have to deal with school for like another 3 months, but there is a shit ton of irritating things about it like the fucking mosquitoes. If we killed all those nasty little fuckers would anything bad happen?

 

[leviathanmisha]

I hate the summer, at least I hate where my school is at during the summer.

I was born and raised in like the north of my state, so we have on really terrible month of heat, but it's not a dry heat, so it's more livable for me and my severe asthma, but my college is in the south of our state and the heat is so dry that being outside for more than 10 minutes has me reaching for my inhaler.

I'm a spring person anyways.

 

[RedDeadFred]

It's alright. I guess I like it for about a week. Then my allergies kick in (which is fine, I have allergy medication that works extremely well) and I begin to miss the nice cold/cool temperatures of winter.

Plus, skiing is one of my most favourite things to do.

 

[BeeGeenie]

I don't like Summer. It's too hot. Winter is my favorite season.

My reasoning:
If you're too cold, you can always put on more clothes.
If you're too hot, there's only so much naked you can get before somebody calls the cops.

 

[The_Echo]

I don't know about anywhere else, but here in the Midwestern United States, summer sucks infinite dick.

Where I live specifically, summer is far far far too hot (I don't handle heat well), and winter is far far far too cold (even with my innate resistance to cold). For far too long.

The only season I like is spring.

What?

Why so much hate for summer? It is the best time of the year. It's hot outside,

There's your answer.

 

[BarbaricGoose]

I'm Irish.

What's a Summer?

Oh, that one week we had in June? Yeah, that was great.

Edit: Appreciate the sun, ingrates!

I would love to live somewhere where it rains and is cold all the time. I live in California. Sunny 24/7. It's a constant 95 degrees in my house. If I don't get up at least once every 5 minutes, I get swamp ass. You know what that's like? Not fun. And I can't work out like this, so I have to make up the difference during winter.

If this sounds like your cup o' tea (Or, rather, potato vodka), come on over. I'd LOVE to take your place. Might not be so bad if I could afford central air, but nope. If you wanna live here, you better have central air. If I lived in Ireland, you know what I'd do if I was uncomfortable? Put on a sweater or two. Can't take off my skin, though.

Summer is terrible, it's all hot and sticky and it's even worse for me because of hayfever, give me autumn all year round and I would be happy.

 

[Simple Bluff]

Edit: Appreciate the sun, ingrates!

Man, I would'a said the same thing before my holiday in Wales. There for two weeks, nothing but sunshine (and seagull crap) EVERYWHERE. On the third week it started raining and I nearly had to be dragged inside, I was so overjoyed.

Funny thing about living in Ireland, I've noticed. It somehow makes you appreciate both the sun AND the rain.

Anyway, obligatory on - topic remark: summer is a mixed bag for me. On the one hand, summer is just fun, y'know? But on the other hand, I have a lot more work (I'm a fisherman by trade, better weather means safer seas means another day spent on a smelly cramped boat) and I don't appreciate the heat much. So I tend to lean more on the "dislike" side of things I suppose.

 

[vxicepickxv]

The only thing I like about Summer is that schools are out, so school zones are null and void.

Around here Summer starts in late April and ends in late October. Then we have fall from October to about the middle of February, then we have a day of Winter, then Spring starts until April.

 

[Namechangeday]

Summer gives me heat rashes and I can't stand heat itself. I also hate mosquitos. Thwn again, my feet start turning blue in the witner time so I don't know which is worse.

 

[rob_simple]

I love it.

It's always so fucking miserable in Scotland --with the rain and the snow and the people-- that when the sun actually does come out I feel better about everything; I walk into town just for the sake of having a walk because I love walking but it's not that enjoyable when you're being pelted in the face with rain and gale force winds. I don't even mind the rain when it's hot because, in my humble opinion, hot rain is one of the best feelings in the world.

Winter is far, far worse here, especially since I spent my first four years in Glasgow without heating of any sort; in all honestly I'm genuinely surprised I didn't lose anything to frostbite. Although it was a good excuse to go to the pub, and just get a booth next to a radiator.

 

[Belaam]

Hate summer. Too damn hot. (it's 106 today - and yes, I know other places are even hotter)

If it gets cold, I can put on more clothes. I can only get so undressed in the summer and not go to jail.

I can either just be constantly sweaty or take 3-4 showers a day. Yuck

 

[Bat Vader]

I hate Summer. Luckily where I live we have been having a cool summer with mostly everything being in the low 70s but there have been a couple of days where it has been 80 or higher. I hate extreme heat in general. Anything above 65-70 degrees is way too hot for me. Plus, I have allergies during the summer so that is another reason why summer is terrible.

I love Winter though. I love the cold and how nothing causes me to sweat and i especially love how everything that gives me allergies dies.

 

[Berithil]

I live in Oregon, so I appreciate the 1 1/2 to 2 months we get without constant rain. That said, I'm from Montana and I live in Oregon, so I'm not too fond of the extreme heat. I would prefer it to be around the 80s. That's a good temperature for me. I'm much more used to chillier weather.

Sunny and slightly chilly is my prefered weather.

Also, I'm as white as a sheet, and I don't tan. I only burn. So I can only stand to be out in the sun for so long without slathering myself in sunscreen.

 

[Sunrider]

I hate 25+ degrees (celsius, because fahrenheit makes no sense and you know it), but I still quite like the summer. As a biker, I should be ashamed of myself if I didn't at least enjoy warmer weather to that extent.

 

[Sansha]

I very much dislike summer for the same reasons. Cold, you can flick on a heater or bundle up against. When it's hot, there's a limit to what you can do to combat it.

I spent a week last November in Phoenix, and it was so hot that I loathed to go outside. When I went from there to D.C and New York, and later Vancouver, it was delightfully bracing.

 

[Miss G.]

I've grown up in the Caribbean and live in Florida now so I'm used to humid summer weather year-round. Doesn't matter what the weather outside is like, as long as my air-condition is working I'm good.
