The sun sucks, being forced to shower like every 4 hours just to not feeling sweaty, the fucking mosquitoes, the fact you can’t wear anything that you want anymore due the heat, the people outside… The fucking beach. I try to avoid it… The fucking sand, not a fan of it. Is scratchy, harsh, annoying and it infiltrates in every nook and cranny. Is not worth the annoyance just to shower yourself with salt water.

Bro do you live in the desert? Or are you obese? Both? This feels like a very local/personal experience lol. Far from everyone has these issues with summer.

Maybe it’s all a joke and I’m whooshing hard but… Anyway.

Just sounds like Florida to me.

100% humidity all the time. Temperatures in the 100’s (F) (>38C). Feels like the air is thick and heavy constantly. It’ll rain just long enough every so often to keep these attributes true almost all the time. Doesn’t matter how fit you are, just walking to your car is enough to make you feel like you just crawled out of the swamp. Worst of all, Florida doesn’t get Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter; We get Summer, Simmer, Summer, Fall.

Yeah that sounds about right. I’ve lived two summers in south Florida and it was brutal. Summers here in northern Sweden are quite a lot milder, obviously. Very comfortable. But can also get very hot, as well.

So a very local thing indeed.

I’m guessing you’ve never been to a tropical place during summer. They’re not exaggerating, any physical work you do within a couple of minutes you start sweating, it’s hell.

A lot more of the USA is obese now than ever, and obesity and heat do not mix.

Indeed. I have a colleague who is obese. They tend to dress lighter waaay earlier in the year than the rest of us in the team. 😅

Yes, it’s so awful. In the winter if you’re cold you can just put on a coat but in the summer if you’re hot there’s nothing you can do about it. Also it’s still light really late which I hate and it’s just overall a miserable season. It’s one of the biggest reasons I would like to move somewhere other than where I live now

There’s no such thing as bad weather only inappropriate gear.

The problem is, in the summer, “appropriate gear” means an air conditioned house.

Yes you can play tennis in bubble jackets rifling through snow but it’s not exactly pleasant, you can put skis on your skateboard but it ain’t the same.

In Texas we have summer heat that even an air conditioned house can’t keep up with at times. It can get hot enough that a some home AC systems will run and run and not maintain a comfortable temp.

Yeah you have to manage your expectations and also close the shades. But if you are coming in from the heat, the house will feel cool even if it’s not cold. Usually with a heat pump (and older not so insulated house) we can comfortably get up to about 20f lower than outside, set it at 78 in summer and it works ok, still seems to manage the humidity inside too.

Can confirm. Already happened yesterday. The hot temps are creeping in early this year and I’m still dealing with all the fallen trees from the storms last week. Steamy as heck outside.

Idk summers are pretty sweet! Only time of the year it’s warm enough to wear anything nice. No need to worry about heating, and the beach is a nice place to just chill, the sand is nice and soft and the sun warms the skin in ways nothing else does, ice cold beers, nights warm enough to not wear a jacket, flowers blooming and bees buzzing around gardens filling them with life, loud music and partying around the clock!

For sweat I’d suggest deodorant and at least a shower every few days along with fresh clothing.

Summer fans are not real, no way you guys enjoy a billion fuckin degree weather and sunburns that turn you to leather or the absolute swamp in your pants from being outside for more than 2 minutes.

That depends on your body though. I never get sunburns and while 30C is warm but comfortable, anything under 5C is actually painful. So I don’t get winter fans either.

The thing is, in the winter you can just keep layering. But in summer, you can only remove so many layers before you have to rip your skin off to remove another one. Also I should mention that I’m in California where we get +35C summers and winter is 15C. BUT PEOPLE HERE STILL SAY SHIT LIKE “Can’t wait for the warm weather! 😁” THE FUCK YOU MEAN “WARM” THIS SHITS ACTUAL HELL

I wouldn’t call that hell either tbh but if your winter is 15C there isn’t much excuse to wait for summer.
