    I’ve lived in half a dozen cities on multiple continents and have never lived somewhere where summer was the worst season. Even living in a place where winter temps meant overnight lows of 5 and highs of 15, summer was still much better. I’ve even spent time in tropical locations where the seasons are “rainy” and “not rainy”, so it was basically summer all the time, and I liked that a lot better than even a mild winter.

      I’ve had the exact opposite experience. Summer has been the worst experience no matter where I have visited or lived. Heat is fucking miserable to exist in, humid or dry. Give me snow and overcast days over the summer sun.

          I love going outside, when the outside isn’t trying to bake me alive. I enjoy swimming, I do it plenty during the fall.

            Hmm, for me, swimming is fun when the sun is trying to bake me alive. It offers immediate relief that’s very pleasant.

              Yea, I prefer not to be in need of relief so I can actually relax and enjoy the activity itself instead of simply recovering from heat exhaustion.
