    In my little slice of hell summer means it’s low to mid 90’s everyday with 60%+ humidity and it rains every fucking afternoon. You can’t go outside for more than 5mins without sweating profusely. It’s kinda ass.

      Like that here too. I hate feeling like I just stepped out of a shower any time I walk out my front door.

      I live in similar conditions with dew points over 65° constantly and have to work in an open air factory.

      Summer can go to hell… It’s already hot there so it will be fine.

      “Rains every afternoon” Florida? I spent a year there and it was like clockwork lol

      Ours are usually like that but this year it’s been more in the mid-to-high 80’s which isnt fun but isnt murder either. LOTS of thunderstorms this year though. Flooding and trees going down every week

    Why is everyone hating on summer? Im so happy now, when I think that in a couple of months days are gonna be 6 hours long and everything will be gray, damp and cold I want to stop time.

      I can always put on warmer clothes if the weather is cold. Summer on the other hand, I can only take off so much without scaring children and getting arrested.
      As for shorter days, the night time is the right time.

        If only +10kg of clothes could bring out the sun, stop endless winds, make icy roads safe for walking (let alone running), and make the person wearing extra clothes really comfortable.

          I get a feeling most people here just stay at home a lot and the heat makes that more unbearable. That’s why I love summer, as soon as I can I just get the hell out of the house.

            The sun is my mortal enemy, I stay out of it and it doesn’t kill me. Winter is far superior.

      In six months I’m gonna be so happy that the days are 6 hours long and everything will be gray, damp, and cool. Summers last like 6 months here and August is the hottest month. Will be wonderful to go outside without the sun trying to murder me.

          Yes, true. But at least I don’t have to slather chemicals onto my skin to avoid the nuclear hellfire in the sky giving me cancer. I know cold ain’t exactly like happy fun times. But I prefer it over heat absolutely.

              I can’t say I’ve ever had to take vitamins for winter? The cancer orb in the sky can fuck right off.

      I crave the rain and overcast days

      The heat is miserable.

      Spring is where it’s at tho, for warm weather.

      Idk where you are in Texas, but it’s been pretty mild here in South-Central. Humid af though due to all the unusual rain, but it’s been keeping the actual temp below 100 for most of it.

        Dallas here. Rain in July is odd, not as odd as highs in the 80s. We’re back to the 100s tomorrow. That seems more normal.

    I ran across so many people today who had Very Optimistic opinions of how effective the single swipe of deodorant they put on that morning was. After about half an hour into my day I pulled out my smelly muscle rub stuff and put a dab under my nose.

    Heat index over 100 freedom units and I’m still sad summer is winding down.

    Edit: Not like it matters but why downvote a comment that says I like hot weather? LOL

      As awful as it’s been, last year was worse where I’m at. Last year we had 45 consecutive 100° days in a row. And that followed a 18-day 100° streak with a chilly 99° day in between the 2 streaks.
