I'm with Doc - when I'm sweating like a pig while sitting at my desk and hardly moving a muscle, it's too goddamn hot!
Summer nights may be even worse than summer days, for my money. How am I supposed to get any bastard sleep? How, I ask you?
Of course, this wouldn't be a problem if we had air con like a civilised country, but the best we can do is open the windows and let every flying insect in a five-mile radius come in as though it owns the bloody place.

Yeah you do need a/c and fly screens. That said we don't have fly screens and it annoys the fuck out of me. It should be basic infrastructure.

Since moving from a new build I find the heat much more comfortable at night. Felt like I was being cooked in my previous house...

Says it's currently 21°
I'm fine with this as long as it has a breeze to go with it.
It doesn't.

Lovely weather. The dogs just laze around catching the sun and finding a bit of shade.
There's a new Italian Gelato place so me and my wife went for a stroll through the village with a lovely refreshing lemon flavour.
Will go for a quick pint in the beer garden later before picking up my daughter from nursery.
Summer>>>>all the other seasons.
When it comes to winter I just want to hibernate. Too dark and miserable.

I don't go out for strolls, I skulk about

I don't think there's a season that I don't really like.
There's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.

Spring and Autumn are joint 2nd fave. Get some nice sun and cool breeze in spring and Autumn is perfect for gaming and film nights as it gets dark earlier. And still get some hot days.
Winter is pretty poo except for Christmas.

Summer is best.
Closely followed by late spring/early autumn which is basically summer.
Winter can do one. Dark, miserable & cold.

I hate all the seasons. Specifically the speed at which we move through them. Feel like I'm still waiting for the year to begin and it's fucking June already.

I like all season here.
Winter - snow, skiing etc. Crisp winter days, wrapped up are lovely, as is snuggling indoors.
Spring - blossoms and positivity
Summer - Hot weather, barbecues, swimming outside etc
Autumn - lovely colours
It's all good.
Worst month is November, cold, often rainy, not yet proper winter, so chance of snow, I usually fuck off far away on holiday then.

Is this love of heat a British thing, excuse me to all the non Brits here, only because when I lived in Vietnam all the locals that I knew absolutely hated the summer because of the heat.

And those countries don't usually have such miserable winters as us.
Germany had a good balance of lovely summers and cold but dry winters.

Perhaps, at night it was like 29-30 which was just insane. Although the sun was just scorching in the day, like everyone would wait under tree shade when waiting for traffic lights.

I’m always really happy for the next season whilst in the midst of the current.
Always looking for the future and never living in the present, that’s my problem.

Too dark and miserable. Yep, I'm the same. The wind and rain are a pain in the arse in late autumn/winter. Jan and Feb are the worst months though...bored of hibernating, Christmas has passed. Longing for some sun and warmth. |

I should add, for the sake of balance, that I genuinely like how much other people enjoy the summer months - they're just not for me!
Whenever I complain about it, people always go, "Yeah, yeah. Still an angsty teenager at heart, sitting in your room with the curtains drawn, listening to The Smiths and Joy Division", and... well, sure! There's probably an element of that somewhere!
Otherwise, though, my anti-summer feelings are every bit as heartfelt as, say, my abiding hatred for Boris Johnson.
The stifling, skull-fucking heat is the (obvious) worst thing about the June-August period, but it's by no means alone. The flies, which stop buzzing around roadkill and freshly-crimped dog poop, and instead come inside to crawl everywhere and buzz all the damn time! The pollen, which reduces me to a sneezing, itchy-eyed mess every time I dare to step outside! The sunburn, which turns me from Casper the Unfriendly Ghost into the Kool-Aid Man at the drop of a hat! The sight of shirtless, beer-bellied guys* parading all over the bloody place! Having to make weather-related small talk with every random stranger I meet, all of whom want to tell me how "glorious" it all is!
The *only* thing I like about this time of year is the fact that iced/cold-brew coffee becomes readily available. I may as well indulge while I can - I mean, it's not as though I'll be sleeping properly in any case.
* I mean, seriously - it's never the trim and fit dudes who take good care of their bodies, in my experience.

Conversely, the only thing I don't like about summer is wasps. Mozzies I can handle, just. But wasps are pointless creatures who just annoy me.
