My favorite temp is around 15-18C. Sweater weather.
Cold sucks. But you don't need a lot of protection to be comfortable in 15C weather, and if you're too hot because you've been working or something, instant relief by just taking off a layer.
Summer is too hot. Winter always sucks.
I enjoy summer before it gets too hot. June is excellent. August is rough. Spring is best though
I am currently living in Romania, where summer will kill you and winter will also kill you
My house is 100 years old and my heating consists of three electric heaters, two wooden stoves and ~~a partridge in a pear tree~~ air conditioning
EDIT: My greatgrandparents built the house themselves. It is not well-insulated at all. I may realistically have to ditch if it hits like -25°C
Gimme dat vitamin D
10ish years ago I would have said Summer is the best but Spring and Autumn are close contendente. With winters being only ok because of the snow.
Nowadays I still say summer is best but spring and autumn are gone (replaced by alternating weeks of summer and weeks of winter) and winter is just dark, wet and too cold to be enjoyable but not cold enough to have snow.
And also summers used to be like 30°C max if it was hot, maybe a little warmer, now if we get a week of summer that is 30°C max we consider it a cool summer because on average the max day temperature hangs at around 38~40°C.
Fuck summer and winter, two sides of the same shitty extremes coin. Fall, and to a lesser extent spring, are where it's at.
Fall is the best. It beats spring because spring tends to have more/worse storms, at least in place I've lived.
Depends on where you live. Summer in Minnesota is probably nice, no snow and lots of lakes to swim in. Summer in Perth is a life-threatening couple of months.
BULLSHIT! We get longer daylight, and the sweat is just a gentle reminder that you aren't in constant pain from temperatures below 60F. Also there are less snowbirds jamming the roadways.
You can always put on more layers. You can't remove skin.
And you're not in constant pain from temperature above 80?
That doesn’t happen until after 90f. I’m from Florida and I would love for the temps to stay in the 80’s during the summer!
Oh I see, your brain has been addled by the heat and humidity :(
Wait, what about Christmas? Didn’t they get that off?
I like summer. I also don't have to exist outside during the hottest part of the day though.
The cradle of humankind is generally though to be northern Africa.
We may have adapted to surviving in cold climates but that's not where our roots are.
If you pick an arbitrary start time you can make history say lots of things
Summer? When things are green? I can get strawberries from our garden? It isn’t dark at 4:30 in the afternoon? I don’t have to scrape ice off the car while it preheats idling?
That atrocious season?
May I present a counter argument:
#THE FUCKING SUN
Oh those two weeks where it's like super nice and your replenish your vitamin d for the year?
Norwegian here
Ya that atrocious season. The season where you can walk through the woods on a full moon, the luminescence making the snow practically glow as the Milky Way makes its Milky Way. That season that has a stillness and quietness not found anywhere else, where you could hear a pin drop from a football field away. That atrocious season where you get to take ridiculously hot saunas, then jump in the snow or lake, and get to feel clean from the inside out. That atrocious season where you get to cuddle up with your family in front of a nice fire and read a book. Bleh who needs it
You should write a book. That's top tier descriptiveness.
Yes, that season with 40°C (104°F) and up to 90% humidity, where you can't be outside in the sun for a quarter of the available daylight if you don't want to die young, and the only way to fight the heat is AC.

God I love autumn. Can chill by the lake with a picnic basket and wait for the stars to come out. Camping when it's pleasantly cool. Plus those fresh orange leaves, and the beetles in the firelight. Autumn is amazing.
I hated summers cause it was when I was isolated and emotionally neglected.
I was homeschooled and lived in Alabama growing up. I didn't get summers off, and they were unbearably hot. I honestly kinda hated the summer. But as an adult? I fucking love summer.
Sunbelt here:
I legitimately loathe any temperature <23°. At 20° I’m too uncomfortable to be outside without layers. I’d prefer to do nearly everything outside if feasible, and really enjoy nature. I also hate rain during the colder months.
I’m legitimately glad that people have options, but I think the population growth of the southwest shows where people are partial to the weather 😝

Or stupid people just tend to have more children just sayin
I upvoted this but holy Jesus. I'm stripping off at 18C and the scientifically proven melting point for shiny white people like me is 25C. Edit: it's very humid here in fairness.
If you don't mind me asking, where is it that temperature so regularly? Must be near the equator I'm guessing.
I’m in Tucson (1.5 hours south of Phoenix) where yesterday my car said it was 33° (unseasonably warm for this time of year). We're at 32°N latitude, same as Tel Aviv, but the hottest city at this latitude on the planet (other cities at this latitude are cooler overall because of oceanic/continental climatic influences). We usually get 3 weeks of “possible” <10° midday temps from Christmas to mid January, and every year at that time I’m swearing that I need to move to the Caribbean lmao. I’m also not “white”, so that might affect my sun and temperature perception 😆
...is it common for people in the northern hemisphere to not get time off school during winter?
Often a week or two around Christmas time. When I was in school 30 years ago, we got nothing.
But summer vacation was 3 months long.
Kids here get a week off in October near Halloween then two weeks around Christmas.
They get two weeks around Easter which would be your equivalent I suppose from a seasonal perspective.
God I love summer. Hard to go to the lake when it's frozen. Can't go hiking in the mud during spring or fall. Camping when it's 35 sucks. Just relaxing outside for hours in the 20s isn't ideal. Summer is amazing.
I love summer because it's the only season that's consistently not cold, and I hate being cold more than I hate being hot.
God I love winter. Love to go snowshowing on the lake when it’s frozen. Can’t go hiking in the mud during spring or fall. Camping when it’s 95 sucks. Just relaxing outside for hours in the 20s is ideal. Winter is amazing.
Two words.
Summer nights.
Warm, but not too hot, beautiful and calming.
Winter can fuck off until it brings sensible amount of snow.
Fall can fuck off fully as I hate rain.
On the fence about Spring. Sometimes it's Fall lite, sometines it's Summer Nights daylight version.
I used to LOVE summer but its just way too hot now.
Any maybe winters not cold enough people would appreciate some warmth
The sun is out.
Plants are doing their thing.
Life is abundant.
Idk who the fuck actually thinks “yes winter thank god”
Watching the sun rise every morning is nice.
