General / Off-Topic Down with summer.

I like the summer, the sun, the blue sky and the heat (30° do not make me crazy)

But I do not like the heat wave when there is no air at night and when I sleep badly

If I could, I would seriously consider moving to Alaska LOL.
 
I'm a hot weather person myself and I live in a sub-tropical climate.

Although "winter" has started here it's still 25 degree centigrade most days at the moment (but will cool more until late August).

Personally; I can't stand really cold weather.

In my opinion you can always cool down when iot's hot but it's damn hard to warm up in freezing weather (my metabolism is built for cold weather).

I think the opposite is true - when it's hot, you can't have anything less than shorts, an open acapulco shirt and flip-flops plus a hat. On the other hand, when it's cold, you can always put on an additional layer. And I don't like AC either. Sure, warm Summar nights are awesome, but for that I have to suffer all day long.
 
Everyone but Manticore would melt.

And me. I like the heat.
Scaninavians say. That there is no bad weather only bad clothing.
At least with cold weather you can put more clothing on. In the heat you can only go down to your skin. :cool:

It does not really matter where you live; if there is a change in temperature from winter to summer. Then you will notice it after the second change in season. Here in the U.K. over the last few months, we have had extremes, in very short periods of time. A 10 degree change over a couple of days, can really be felt by us mortals.

The only real way to have constant, is to move like the birds do, from season to season.

I agree, I don't like the hot weather and these days, I really hate being out in the sun.

True, our annual swing is around 3-4 deg C and can be felt.

IMO you are dead right. It is the changes that get you. Once you have become acclimatised you notice the changes. I have worked all over and remember winter in Jamaica when the morning temperature was about 22°C (72°F) and I felt cold. In the UK the average summer temperature is about 22 °C.
Although having said that. I acclimatise quickly in a couple of days.

I am with you about the sun. I never sunbathe and always wear long sleeved shirts and trousers. Not to mention my hat with corks that I bought in Sydney. ;)
 
Come down south a way... much nicer out of Maricopa county. :D Summer in Phoenix is like being butt naked on the equator of Arrakis at noon.

Oh I used to go all over the state and hike, haven't done as much now as we want to stick close to family there when we drive to visit. But the best part is hiking there in the summer is that no one is on the trails and I just love that solitude :). Though despite driving through Tucson from time to time still, I no longer get to stop for more than a brief moment. I really liked my days hiking and camping around Saguaro National Park (unless of course you're in Yuma or the Imperial Sand Dunes where I've stranded my car out there in the middle of July before :))...

Not me. I don't acclimatise at all. I just suffer the heat for months until winter returns.

I promise you that I genuinely have zero tolerance for temperatures above zero. Seriously. Anything higher and I get itchy. I leave the window open during winter to freeze my room.
