The sun sucks, being forced to shower like every 3 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 sand, I fucking hate sand, is scratchy, harsh, annoying and fucking infiltrates in every nook and cranny. Is not worth the annoyance just to shower yourself with salt water.

    Are you by any chance related to Anakin Skywalker ?

    Seriously, summer here in Comoros corresponds to the rainy season and it’s indeed a bit uncomfortable to traverse. 95% humidity, upwards of 35 degrees, frequent pouring rain. I change clothes at least twice a day, and I work from home ! At least we have water and nature is happy for it : forests are lush, dense, fruity. It’s winter now, muuuch more bearable.

      Very early summer or late spring.
      Just enough that you don’t need a jacket in the morning/evening but not so hot that you will spontaneously combust during lunch.

    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.

      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 more mild, obviously. Very comfortable. But can also get very hot, as well.

        So a very local thing indeed.

      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.

    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.

    Allergies by day, mosquitoes by night, heat during work, rain during leisure, it can get pretty bad. Autumn is awesome, it’s nicer out with no forces of nature used against anyone and the festivities and aesthetics are amazing, but Spring and Summer make the wait challenging.

    Ok Anakin. But please stop taking showers, that’s not how it works. Put some deodorant on and stay in the shades or in a breeze

      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.

          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.

    Summer is absolutely dogshit terrible. Anyone who claims they like it is lying to themselves. It’s muggy, hot, humid, touristy, expensive. What is there to like?

    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.

    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.
