Obviously this only applies to people in the northern hemisphere, but I guess anybody in the south can just go off their past anecdotes.

Where I live it usually rains from August to December, then snows in January, then rains again from February to mid-May. Right now we’ve been getting highs of 75F (~23C) (yes, go ahead and laugh Arizonans) and I’ve just been dying inside. I have my fan constantly on and my car’s A/C is on literally the coldest temperature. I love the rain here and it hasn’t rained for an actual month. We had one (!) overcast day in the past like 3 weeks. I just really wanna wake up to rain and 45F (~7C) again. I know I’ve only got a month and a half til that starts to become a reality, but it’s just passing by so slowly.

It doesn’t help that I’m pretty far north, so the sun has been setting around 8:30 PM with last light as late as 9:30, and then rising at like 5 in the morning. Honestly my favorite time of year is when I get home from work and the sun has already set.

Yeah, I personally hate the summer. I’d love to live in the kind of climate you are in, it’s in the hundreds here, but I get it. The heat just saps your energy and everything seems to drag on. Don’t forget to drink water! Hopefully it doesn’t get hotter for you.

It has been quite nice this summer in Denmark for those that usually hate it. Usually I retreat to the coldest darkest corner of my world to survive but not this year. Very windy and rainy. Most days sub 20C. It can stick around as long as it likes.

Same in Sweden. Besides, it was almost June before the spring really arrived. I’m really not looking forward to the summer ending.

I’m from the UK, where people die of heatstroke above 32C (90F).

I am currently living in Texas, where it’s been consistently above 41C (106F+) for a solid month now.

This summer cannot end quickly enough.
