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.
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
Completely agree. I hate heat with a passion. My 2 biggest annoyances are lawn mowers being loud and neighbors outside all day with kids that scream their fucking lungs out. Just high pitched fucking screaming for hours on end.
I know i used to play outside when i was little, but never did i yell and scream uncontrollably for fucking hours, driving anyone in a 200 meter radius fucking insane. Sorry i just don’t get it.
Edit: im sorry if i sound like a boomer. Im autistic and the screaming is giving me a fight of flight reaction. Often i don’t care. But a family 2 houses down screams sooooo loud. Not even laughing or anything. Just pure high pitched screaming. And they will go on until 10pm or so every day if the sun shines.
I use noise canceling earphones but i can’t and don’t want to wear those all day long.
Gift them a video game console. When I was young we must have drove all the neighbors nuts, running across their yards playing sports. My neighborhood now has kids but it’s nice and quiet. Thank you Playstation and Xbox
I can barely afford rent :( I don’t mind kids just playing etc. We have a big green field outside where kids play all day and its no problem. But there is a family a few houses down with kids that just scream. Not even laughing really. Just pure high pitched screaming. Fighting with eachother and screaming. And they will do that until 10-11pm in the weekends.
My autism just make the experience a 100x worse.
Hey man, it’s your neighbor, I hate to tell you this but there isn’t any kids in that house anymore the entire family perished in a fire a year ago. The whole block has been quiet since.
Situational on region.
I’d rather have any other season personally. You can bundle up in autumn and winter, spring is fine generally. Summer if it gets too hot you can only take off so many clothes before you either run out, or the police get called.
I didn’t like summers or winters where I used to live, so I moved to somewhere where I like both seasons. Then moved again to somewhere that I love all four seasons.
But I get what you’re saying; you’re describing the summers of my childhood. Hot and humid so you feel like you need a cold shower within 5 minutes of walking outside. Sticky by day, swarmed by mosquitos at night.
But you lost me at the sand bit. I love the beach and ocean when it’s like 10-30°C out. Colder and hotter are okay, too, but not as nice.
Am summer fae. Hard disagree. The worst part of summer is indoors where they abuse air conditioning to create a dry frigid wasteland.
And wildfire smoke which didn’t use to be a thing where I live.
Clearly whoever wrote this has not seen an oregon coast summer. But don’t move here… It’s terrible… I promise…
Also, stronger, blinding sunlight and more headaches.
Spring where I live is worst.
Lots of snow, lots of rain so that means a lot of slush, and any outdoor activity makes a mess of whatever you are wearing.
With the climate changes, we also get wild spikes of hot/cold weather. So one day you are in t-shirt and the next day you have a to wear a snow suit.
Wait. Winter is coming

being forced to shower like every 3 hours just to not feeling sweaty
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.
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.
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.
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. 😅
Offices having AC on when its 50 outside also sucks.
When you say 50, you mean C or F?
Fahrenheit, sorry should have clarified.
Offices having AC on when its 50[°F] outside also sucks.
That sucks for everyone, yeah.
It depends om where you live. Sumner is not like what you write everywere. 🙂
Yep. Winter in Michigan is a long gray hell. The summers are beautiful though! It’s enough that by June you’ve forgiven yourself for moving to a place with winters like that, until it’s January again and you’re wishing for a single ray of sunshine.
Bingo. In Colorado it’s generally incredible. Low insect level, clear skies, great temps, and dry. We love it thank you very much.
Summer is my favorite part of the year in the US. Longer days, cool nights, lush greenery with beautiful skies, more activities to do outside, mangoes are in season, going to the pool, barbecues, basking in the sun and feeling the seasonal depression melt away.
I was born in the summer, maybe that has something to do with it.
Here it used to be very nice every summer, but these days it is always unbearably hot and there’s a 1/3 chance that there’s smoke from forest fires and always heavy water and fire restrictions.
Go outside in 40°C weather for a bit, come back inside, sit in front of air conditioner, be just fine in a couple of minutes
Go outside in even 10°C weather for a second, come back inside, freezing to death even in front of a heater for an hour because cold or even very cool weather chills me to the bone and it takes forever for me to get warm again
Yeah, I prefer summer.
Yeah, no.
You can almost always add more layers, so unless we’re talking about literally Siberia in winter, you should be fine.
But if it’s too warm for shorts and shirt, there’s nothing I can do. I can’t run around naked or remove my skin (not in an easily reversible manner at least).
Best season, weather is nice enough so Ican enjoy outdoor activities.
There’s no such thing as bad weather only inappropriate gear.
The problem is, in the summer, “appropriate gear” means an air conditioned house.
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.
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.
