35 degrees and it's just the beginning. I can't understand how anyone can be outside by their own will like this (unless you're forced to work in those conditions, construction workers and similar).
Come to the southern US where humidity is at an average 75% all year round. Not only is it hot, the air is hot, and heavy, and wet and will make you feel stickier than a woman in a bukkake
On average, the UK (assuming this where you're referring to) gets about 50-60% humidity during the summer. UK gets more humidity during the winter than summer. So no. It's not, haha. Granted, I do believe you when you say it sucks. It sucks here too. I hate those times I walk outside and it's so hot, it feels like all of the air in my lungs gets sucked out
I hate the heat too, I'd rather it was below freezing. That being said, I think so many of us at least in the US spend so much time in temperature controlled spaces that it makes it harder to deal with. There's kids in my neighborhood but you'd never know it unless the outside temperature is between 70 and 80 degrees. I'm gonna sound like the old fart here but I've never lived in a house with central air, never went to a school that was air conditioned and until recently never had a work van with working AC. Like a lot of modern conveniences they make us lose our ability to cope. People have been around a lot longer than these comforts. Rant over.
For two years, I worked outdoors in 90+ heat (freedom units) and humidity in the summer and freezing temperatures in the winter. I've found that my ability to still be comfortable in both heat and cold is tons better than my husband's. He works from home and enjoys the A/C pretty much 24/7.
It's not so much the heat that bothers me (even though it can), but it's so hot right now some of us haven't seen a single animal aside from squirrels, deer, and rabbits all month. So much for animism.
Fishing, building decks, hiking, tromping in the woods, drinking in the yard, parties, beaches, tan lines, sundresses, bikes, cigars, sports. Plenty of good comes from summer times.
The fact that you need to spray yourself with water because your body isn't able to cope with the temperature on its own isn't maddening to you? I mean you do you, that weather is just really really annoying to me.
I'd much rather be hot than cold. I hate the cold. I hate being bundled up just to go outside, and never feeling warm all winter long. But I grew up where it was regularly 112 (44.44 C) degrees outside. I love going swimming, and being nice and warm when I'm working or playing outside. I do not like hot and humid combined though. Hot and arid is perfectly fine for me. Now I live where it's pretty cold, and they have heat advisories when it's over 85 (29.44 C) and I just chuckle at how sensitive to heat the locals are, and enjoy myself.
PS, how accurate should I be when quoting Celsius? Do I use decimals? If so, to what accuracy?
I can understand why Summer is great for most people, but it's not my fave season either so I totally get you. I typically just stay indoors since my room is so cool. I love the Winter. If I were a Pokemon, I would absolutely be an ice type! ❄️
