    Winter is better because you can always add more layers.

    You can only remove so many in the summer before the police get called.

      In stereotypical winter you can’t add enough layers since if you do add layers so your face doesn’t hurt you get accosted by the police because going to public places in a balaclava hasn’t been legal since the late 50s.

      In winter as it actually happens you need fewer layers but they need to be waterproof because winter means rain at +2 °C.

        I’ve always heard this. Helped with pit on a friend’s dad’s drag car when I was a kid. It makes sense, but I’ve never looked into how large of an effect it actually is.

    I genuinely feel like people who say they love 85+ degree (F) weather belong in an institution. I have met some of these people.

      85 is not bad at all unless you have to work in the sun.

      I am on a special interest forum, been a member for a long time and it’s got people around the world. A lady in Sweden said she was absolutely dying from the heat, could not sleep, because it was 23 degrees. Our AC is set to 78F most of the time and I am cool at that temp, but she would melt?

      It really has to be what you grew up with. A real winter would kill me, I don’t know how people deal with it. Putting on clothes, taking off clothes, never really being warm, short daylight, hot food immediately getting cold because the cold air steals its heat, car won’t start but standing at bus stop so freezing then the bus uncomfortable because you are bundled up, WTF Winter People? What is it you like, or do you just like winter like we have here, the Swedish summer weather?

      Hi! I‘m one of them. Though 85F (30°C) is not that much, that’s barely enough to cool down in the pool. I also like 110 degree (42°C) showers. Also, my idle body temp is only about 96F (35,5°C)

      I am one of these people. I feel like I’m only truly warm for a few days out of the year (I live in the UK…). The heatwaves we had this year, whilst environmentally devastating/concerning, at least warmed my core for a good few weeks.

      I can’t wait until my wife and I reach the: it’s time for a hot tub age. We’re not quite there yet, but winter offers us a lot of cold for the joy when it arrives.

      Rain here is a summer thing and that is wonderful, cools everything off, beautiful lightning and rainbows.

      Rain in the winter is nonsense. It is so cold and you get wet and even more cold. Although - winter rain is not windy or sideways like summer storms so an umbrella does avail. But yes. Cold rain sucks.

        Summer rain is fine when in normal amounts. It’s not fine when it rains every single day for the first 3 weeks of July and the temps drop to 10°C under what they should be.

        Conpletely agreed fuck winter rain. Especially when it should be snowing or when it snows for a couple hours just wnough for it to begin sticking around and then after liek 10cm falls it starts raining. Fuck that cannot even have snow for a day? Or it snows then rains the next day. Yeah just ruin my mood firther why don’t you.

      Nah, summer is super depressing. All I have the energy for is to lie under a fan and slowly melt into a puddle of listless, sweaty sadness and long for death. In the winter, I’ve actually got the energy to get up and get shit done, build a snowman, frolic. Less sun is less headache too, so bonus points for it being dark all the time.

        I guess it helps I live at a higher latitude where summer isn’t as hot (although it’s getting hotter every year)

    Hate Summer because heat

    Hate Winter because cold and depressing ( IDGAF about people moaning that heat is depressing, in Winter everything is depressing since snow went extinct )

    Gimmie warm late Spring all the day tho. Maybe with water warm like at the end of summer. Perfect mix.

      I love winter when it’s a real winter. I think most people who hate winter live in an area where they only get half winters.

      When each day is generally -5 to -10 degrees celsius, and you have a constant layer of snow around everywhere for a solid 2-3 months, is when winter is my favourite season of the year

      But when you have an average temperature of -1 degrees to 5 degrees, and you get random flurries on snow that melt and freeze constantly, then occasional freezing rain and hail, that’s when winter sucks.

        You call that a real winter? Come back to me when you have had at least -20 degrees, walked home when it’s snowing so much you can’t see across the street, and got only 6 hours or so of sunlight a day.

          That’s a real winter where it’s enjoyable

          I have lived in areas where it’s -30 to -35 and 12+ inches of snow on the ground from November to may. Personally I did quite like it as well but it’s not to everyone’s taste. The first scenario I described is where I think the most people would enjoy it.

    British summer is nice if you have air conditoning, otherwise it’s hell. British winter is nice for exactly 24hrs if it ever snows. You know that first 24hrs when it’s deathly silent at night because the snow is deadening all the sounds, and when you get up in the morning and the snow is still fluffy? That’s when British Winter is good. The rest of the time, the snow melts but not enough so it just turns to ice, you’re slipping everywhere, it’s freezing cold and extremely wet so you’re just completely soaked at all times.

    Autumn and Spring don’t exist. You have Cold, Hot and Overcast.

    I am a hot weather enjoyer, I like it because I can use flipflops and have cold drinks, and I hate how people who live in the desert (like me) have the guts to say “holy f_ck, what a hot weather we have, huh”. Dude, you live in a fucking oven, and it’s turned on, it’s like say that the water does get things wet.
