Why get a good nights rest when you can instead be cooked alive, day after day?
Oh i hate summmer from the bottom of my heart. Already just thebrightness hurts and makes it harder to see anything, but the main curse is the heat. By the evening I'm just exhausted and head is stuffed. Of course the night isn't much better, it's not enough time to cool down and then sleep is disrupted and shallow.
So I'm perpetually sweating, tired, grumpy, slower and weaker.
Dark winter nights are the best, exactly that time when i cant see the sun at all, screw that fucker. No brightness, sleep is much deeper, always full of energy and it's just so easy to generate bodyheat that the cold becomes nearly irrelevant.
I miss being able to regulate my body temperature by sticking out a foot from the blanket
I full on get vomitty if I get too hot. Give me winter. Give me cold.
I like winter. If it’s cold I can just put on warm clothes. In the summer I can just bake.
I'll always take winter over summer if I had to choose between the two. I live in the northern US where it gets down to -10 degrees F regularly in the winter.
Summer
The Good:
- longer days, lots of time after work for outdoor activities
- relax in the sun
- fresh fruit
- more cultural activities
- swim in the see
The Bad:
- hot
Winter
The Good:
- not hot
The Bad:
- more rain
- drive to/from work when it's still dark
- depressing
More rain in winter? Are you European or Pacific Northwest?
Speaking as sometime from Central Europe, rain in winter is very much accurate. Typical Christmas weather is light rain at two degrees above freezing. When it does go below freezing in winter it's usually relatively damp air with no precipitation so there's no fun snow but a cold that becomes painful within seconds if you don't have much body fat.
Even a full week of 43 °C wasn't quite enough to make me like summer less than winter.
lots of time after work for outdoor activities
Outdoor activities get cancelled more and more because of the heat this year. People not showing up at events because they don't like a heat stroke. It's a bit too much summer.
I fucking hate summer and this is why.
BuT iT's FrEeZiNg In WiNtEr. Not anymore because you need to fly to Asia for your vacations Bernadette! Also I can later clothes. Can't take off skin.
Can't take off skin.
Skill issue
Skin issue
mf complains about heat but can't even be arsed to deglove ffs
it is freezing in winter! that's why it's better! try ice-skating on a lake in june!
My fingers and toes and nose would always stay cold in the winter, even if the rest of my body was so layered up that I was sweating. It's a bit odd wearing a ski mask indoors and wearing super thick gloves indoors is not always feasible either depending on what you're doing (eating, etc.). I compromised a bit with fingerless gloves, and it helped a bit, but not as much as I would have liked. And yeah eating foods with your hands just wasn't doable that way.
Idk. I'm one of those people that is always too cold. I live in a hot climate now and it sucks major major balls for riding a motorcycle (just learned recently), BUT I prefer this environment in every other circumstance.

How do we sleep while our beds are burning? ♪
Both are good and have their benefits. Working outside in the hot sun is a struggle. Working outside in -30 is a struggle.
Where do you live? Canada?
Close, Finland
Fuck the Winter!
I don’t mind melting skin and vampiric, malaria bringing insects as long as I can enjoy long summer evenings, cool drinks, the summerwind rustling in trees while laying in their shadows, eating icecream and going for a swim.
All this is monumentally better than the long darkness, scraping ice from your cars windscreen at 06:00 am and seeing nothing but bare trees for months.
Winter is fine for a month or so, then it should be time again for spring.
The only rational take here
Hard disagree. In winter we have cozy warm clothing, crisp dry air to breathe, beautiful blankets of snow, houses lit up with decorative lights at night, and most importantly significantly less bugs! I love hiking and backpacking in winter. I would much rather sleep outside when it's 0 C/32 F than when it's 24 C/75 F+ at night. Once it starts getting warm here the humidity creeps up and you're just sticky for months. Sitting outside on my porch on winter mornings bundled up in my coat and scarf having my morning coffee is one of my favorite things. If I do this in summer I'm eaten by mosquitoes within minutes.
I'm sure whether people like summer or winter more is heavily influenced by where they live, but here summer is hot, humid, full of mosquitoes and ticks, and just generally all around miserable. Late June through early September is the worst part of the year and it's not even close for me.
I'm sure whether people like summer or winter more is heavily influenced by where they live
Yeah, agreed. And there’s nothing worse then humid and hot. I still prefer a normal continental summer to a normal continental winter though.
I suffer physically during summer and mentally during winter. I 'd love for a long, extended spring time (because I have no allergies ruining it for me), but anthropogenic climate change is 86ing spring and autumn atm.
Let me tell you about these magical lands called "equatorial mountain" climates.
See, you go to a place that's hot year round, then go 1-2km directly upwards, and you get 365 days of spring weather, only variation being how much precipitation you get.
Bogota, Medellin, Da Lat, Kunming, all amazing weather year round. They also tend to have tons of edible mushrooms.
spoiler
There is a really jarring sensation when you go from wet, cold, and cloudy to hot, dry, and sunny by taking a 5 minute bike ride down into a valley, like you just rode into another world.
Do you have a list of such more cities?
No, sorry. There's listicle articles you can google, or if there's an equatorial region with mountains, any city or town above a certain altitude is going to have little variation. Weatherspark.com can help investigate.

My condolences, that sucks!
And yes spring and autumn both are awesome. Nothing better than a clear, crisp autumn day.
I honestly think I probably eat more ice cream in winter…
Nothing wrong there. Being an adult should have at least some perks, eating ice cream whenever you want is one of them.
Winter and snow are fine from a few weeks before Christmas up through New Year's. After that I'm ready to get back to summer.

I will cry in cost of living but not in weather! (Berkeley, California)
Even with the heatwave, yep. Winter is so fucking garbage. Depressing shitty fucking time. SAD is a legit thing. Me-sweaty-itis, isn't afaik.
The southern hemisphere be like...
😆😁😄
No, it's frozen here and raining and yucky.
Please send all your heats, we'll take them.
It's 42C here today, cooler than yesterday.
Will that be cash or check? Wait, come back
That’s a normal summer for me, so I’ll take it thanks!
I am in Arizona, south of the Sonora, and this shit is insane, yet at the same time WAY more manageable than any place with humidity. I went to college at ECU and was homeless in Miami Beach during the winter before, and that ish was hell despite being thirty temperature degrees cooler than here in the Phoenix area. It gets 120F some days, and it sucks biking in, but as long as you drink water continuously, it feels significantly cooler because all your sweat evaporates instantly, taking the heat with it.
I will pick summer over winter any day. In summer there are a few days a year where it's too hot do anything and the rest of the time I can go outside and enjoy my hobbies instead of sitting indoors all day.
In winter it's cold non stop for months at a time. The moment I leave the house I start to suffer. And don't say I need to wear more clothes. There's a limit to how many clothes you can reasonably put on and when you're skinny with low blood pressure, it's just miserable.
Where I live it’s cold and foggy all summer
Yes and it's fantastic.
Finally summer after the usual 10 months of cold dark and rain.
Nope, it isn't. At least not for me. I am more team "shoveling snow in a t-shirt".
