I like summer the most cause it's the only season I don't feel like shit. Whether it's allergies, sinuses, or just general hatred for going outside (and no don't tell me to just put on more layers cause I'm already wearing 5 layers in 8° weather and still freezing my ass off while struggling to move). Doesn't help that I work in a cooler so spending 8-11 hours in a cold room only to leave into the colder outside isn't enjoyable. I miss going on walks at local parks, but all I want to do now is get back in bed ASAP cause that's the warm place.

I’m already wearing 5 layers

Why would you need more than 3 layers? Is your middle layer not insulating enough? Are there exposed parts of your body? If you don't feel like wearing a scarf or mask, some vaseline on the nose/cheeks can help.

[–] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 1 points 26 minutes ago (1 children)

Tried the Vaseline cause I'm not allowed to wear scaves or masks at work where it's also cold af. Didn't work. Same with trying to wear 3 layers of cottom gloves while working which didn't stop my hands from being in pain from the cold (they get cold faster than anything else on me) and more hinders my ability to work efficiently. I'm only comfortable when in a 70-85° area (or whatever my shower can get to at max heat). Any less and I'm freezing, but I can handle a decent bit more.

3 layers of cotton gloves

Big, bulky mittens, hopefully your jacket has straps on the wrist so no heat escapes there. If you need to use a touch-screen, they make 1-finger mittens.

[–] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 minutes ago

My problem is with having to twist my hands and bend my fingers around my hook a lot. Work only allows the cotton gloves they supply which get changed out often due to them getting soaked fast which only makes it colder. They gave me these sleeve things which are extremely tight, but even wrapping them around the ends of the gloves doesn't stop my hands from freezing.

I'm not a fan of too much heat either, but honestly, where I live, it's not even that bad most summers. It's the darkness around christmas that's the worst. The 3 weeks before and the 3 weeks after specifically.
Spring and autumn are my favorites for sure, and spring is generally better because it rains less. There's something cleansing about that season.

[–] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 hours ago

Depends on your climate. Climate usually cold? Summer is a relief. Climate usually hot? Summer sucks.

[–] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 hours ago

I love summer because the weather is nice and I get good sunlight and that feels nice. I can walk to work in a cotton shirt instead of a waterproof parka. The rest of the year where I live is constant grey and drizzle. We don't even get fun winter shit like snow here, just grey and wet and cold.

[–] damnedfurry@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Winter and Summer are both too extreme. That leaves Spring and Autumn.

I hate bugs, and Spring is the 'buggiest' season, so for me, Autumn wins by default, lol.

[–] Sektor@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

With climate change they both last a week in average.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 hours ago

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 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

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

I enjoy summer before it gets too hot. June is excellent. August is rough. Spring is best though

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Fuck summer and winter, two sides of the same shitty extremes coin. Fall, and to a lesser extent spring, are where it's at.

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 2 points 7 hours ago

Fall is the best. It beats spring because spring tends to have more/worse storms, at least in place I've lived.

[–] ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 hours ago

Gimme dat vitamin D

[–] EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

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.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

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.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 41 points 15 hours ago (5 children)

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

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 8 points 12 hours ago

Oh those two weeks where it's like super nice and your replenish your vitamin d for the year?

Norwegian here

[–] Nikelui@lemmy.world 13 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

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.

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.

[–] ronl2k@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

I've lived in temps ranging from 112°F to -23°F. Anything 40°F-85°F is fine by me.

[–] Echolynx@lemmy.zip 5 points 9 hours ago

You can always put on more layers. You can't remove skin.

[–] uncouple9831@lemmy.zip 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

And you're not in constant pain from temperature above 80?

[–] ryan_@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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!

[–] uncouple9831@lemmy.zip 3 points 8 hours ago

Oh I see, your brain has been addled by the heat and humidity :(

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 8 points 13 hours ago

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.

[–] callouscomic@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 hours ago

I hated summers cause it was when I was isolated and emotionally neglected.

[–] nednobbins@lemmy.zip 4 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] ronl2k@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Nordics have definitely evolved for cold weather. Most whites and Asians evolved white skin to help synthesize vitamin D from scarce sunlight. Africans evolved dark skin to avoid synthesizing too much vitamin D, which can be toxic.

If you pick an arbitrary start time you can make history say lots of things
