Summer used to be hot but it also used to be perfectly fine to sit in the shade and feel fine. Nowadays the temps even in the shade are over 30-35°.

Right?
I'm done with summer. Looking forward to that first early morning air nip with a dusting of frost on the ferns, presaging the arrival of snow.
I'll enjoy winter as long as it lasts. Probably not for long, snow has become a distant memory
Unfortunately for us, the best times of the year are about half a month in the spring and half a month in the fall

I actually love the feeling of a hot wall of furnace hitting me when I go outside. Thick smell of life in the air, chlorophyll, baking earth. The hot blanket of the sun. The sweat, the sweaty men, the shirtless men. OK I am getting off track, we were talking about sweaty men I think?
Yess hello it is me, the sweatiest man, I sweat for hours every day just for the fun of it.

Finally, someone who understands. I want snow!
Yes I will gladly take the pits of hell over anything from Jack Frost or temperatures going anywhere below 70.
70°C??? You summer people are crazy!
Hence the picture. Above 70 F is where it begins to get uncomfortable. Then it gets much higher than that as well
Assuming you are talking in Fahrenheit you don't really need a jacket for everything above 35° as long as it doesn't rain or is particularly windy. 100° just make me feel as if I am getting cooked alive with nowhere to escape

No cold seeping so deeply into my bones that it lodges itself there to radiate outward through my whole body so I can barely move.
No aching dryness making it almost impossible to breathe.
I know many aren’t built for heat but cold causes me near-debilitating pain and drains my soul of life. I’ll enjoy the warmth and sun while it lasts.
I thought 2 of those writhers of pain over on the left were boobs so yeah

My name is Sam McGee.
Come visit me in south Louisiana.
Alaska's LOL...
I had family in Nola, I'm good lmao. Everyone thinks Southerners are dramatic or exaggerating, but the Southern States hands-down have the worst climate in the country thanks to the humidity and heat mixture.

I'll take the dry heat of a desert before the cold. But, I'll take the cold before humid heat. It's humidity that drives me nuts.
Rather have 95 and humid than a negative wind chill every single time.
90+ and humid is the worst type of environment this planet has to offer. Everything else, from Death Valley to the center of Antarctica, is infinitely better.
We should have switched places the last week then. I had 91°F and high humidity in my BEDROOM for the whole week. I would have rather camped at freezing temperatures than experience this
Spring/autumn and winter is all i need, summer has become just a nuisance.
You need sun block 1000 to go to the beach for a couple of hours and it's not certain which gives you cancer faster, so i'm very much fine without summer.
I can easily survive temps in the around 35-37 C with just a fan and ice.
You haven't lived until you've jerry rigged the front grill of your fan with tubing; using a cooler full of ice water and gravity to circulate cold water through the tubing to create a poor man's AC.
If it was up to me the AC would get 1-3 weeks of use. My wife wants the AC; and what baby wants, baby gets.
I can easily survive temps in the around 35-37 C with just a fan and ice.
Human and animal safety: High wet-bulb temperatures impair the body's ability to cool itself, increasing the risk of heatstroke and hyperthermia. A WBT above 35°C (95°F) is considered critical, beyond which even healthy individuals can survive only a few hours without cooling. Recent studies suggest dangerous conditions may occur at lower thresholds, around 31°C (87.8°F) in humid environments
My wife wants the AC
Being a "summer lover" means I hate cold and love sunlight. It doesn't mean I wanted the burning hellscape we're all going to have to get used to. Wish we had listened to climate scientists and taken action...
Fuck winter. I need Sunlight.
That's like threatening a dog with a sausage.
Ice. it was ice for 2 weeks solid.
Me, at 80 degrees: "A little chilly in here."
Saving this one to post again in January, it's too good.
Winter makes my lupus act up terribly and I can hardly function. Summer heat nowakes my heart condition act up and I can hardly function. There's a period of like 2 weeks in the spring and fall that are perfect
