I fucking hate summer. It’s terrible in Florida. Not as intolerable on the west coast.
Not as intolerable on the west coast.
On the actual coast, sure. Come to the Central Valley of California, tho. Shit's basically the same as Florida except that it's not guaranteed to rain every day around 5pm. 90-100+ heat with 90-100% humidity. 😵💫
Honesty there's so many adverts about sunny holidays via plane that I honestly wouldn't be shocked when oil corps turn out to pay for lots of them. Makes the heatwaves more appealing
I wouldn't be surprised if you're right
Idk, I like summer here in Poland.
Really depends on location. Summer in my area is brutal and the heat lasts close to 5 months, so yes I agree it’s the worst season. Spring is next simply because of all the hailstorms. Fall is ok but still too warm for actual fall standards. The upside is our winters are mild, so it’s the best season.
As someone who loves hotter days, hard disagree.
I suffer in these summers, but I still prefer this suffering to the winter. Winter is too depressing. Christmas is about all that is nice about Winter.
Yesssss hard agreeeee
Very much agree.
I only liked it because I was off. Otherwise, I've always hated summer. I used to dream of having a fall or winter vacation instead. I didn't have AC at home or at school growing up, so if I was going to be uncomfortable, just let me go back. I want to go to the zoo on a nice fall afternoon, not the second coming of Satan's asshole.
Winter can get in the fucking sea because it's so dark all the time. Mid to late spring is definitely best though.
Poland. It's not that summer is amazing - it just sucks the least.
It's hot and everything wants to eat you, but it's colorful and sunny and summer nights are ahhhhhh...
Autumns tend to be pretty. And rainy as hell. Meh.
Winter was pretty when I was a kid. Nowadays it's autumn, minus pretty and plus balls freezin off. No snow, fuck you.
Spring is wet and green, but also cold. Good contender against summer, barely loses IMO.
Edit: Additional context - when it gets cloudy and grey in Poland, it gets fucking uber depressing. I dunno what it is, but almost can feel thr grey communist past creepin up...
When I was younger I preferred being cool over being hot, but nowadays I almost never think that it's actually too hot. You just gotta adjust your mental, idk how but it being hot is just nice in a way
I like summer. Not when it's high heat and humidity, but I do like it being light outside after 3:30 PM.
I can’t stand it. I can’t sleep well with the sun up. My kids don’t sleep well with the sun up. Who to I have to sacrifice to the sun to get darkness between at least 10pm and 6am? (Though preferably 9pm and 6:30, if the sun is up for negotiations.)
It'll only get hotter and more days in the year will reach these temperature so get used to it
Fully agree
There's only one great season. Sadly it was quite short this year, at least where I live. https://song.link/i/549480694
The forest is beautiful this time of year if you can avoid getting eaten alive by mosquitos and ticks.
