Hate summer

I have barely slept. Being an owl, I get to sleep (fitful) only by midnight and then the sunshine wakes me about 5 a.m. I don’t know when I last had a really deep sleep….

We must buy some 'easy food' for the weekend, it will be too hot to cook.

I don't like too much heat, nor too much cold. Around 22C- 24C with a good shower each night would be perfect.

I'm feeling quite tired too, Biscuitmuncher, meant to take an iron tablet before dinner but I forgot.
Have you had your iron levels checked?

The hotter and more humid the better. There is nothing so fabulous as getting off a plane in Mumbai at 3am and feeling the blast of tropical heat

Singapore - like walking into a sauna 😁
Having a shower but never feeling completely dry!

About 25 suits me, I too put a mask on about 5/5:30 am, then back to sleep, I enjoy the light evenings too.
We have storms forecast at the weekend, I hope so as I love them and the garden needs the rain.

Why not get blackout curtain linings or blinds? You can shut out all the daylight perfectly easily

I lined the bedroom curtains with blackout material.

However, I need ear defenders. The birds start their dawn chorus abou 5.00 - 5.30 am now

I think I’m Wyllow’s twin.

May i join in 😁 the few hottest days last summer were unbearable during the day but the nights were horrendous, i prayed for even just one degree drop and a tiny cool breeze for nights, 😴

I have blackout lined curtains and a blind....!

I like the idea of a sunny day, but it just drains me

I tried curtains, the sun still sneaked around the edges a tiny bit, maybe a blind would be better, do they fit flush against the window? Thanks.

I just love the summer!! Long summer days, being able to sit or potter in the garden, no need for central heating. Last year’s heatwave was a struggle to cope with but generally I feel so much better in warm, sunny weather. I do of course have every sympathy for all those who don’t enjoy it.

Hello twin, where is our rain I ask.

I can sleep better when the morning light comes. I hate the dark long cold winter nights. I dont need dark to sleep and you don't has a good night the dark seems to last forever.

When its really hot yes I sympathise with people who have to work or have conditions but it just relaxes me. It's like a holiday at home. Going out you see kids and younger people having a good time. All good. Bare arms. loose dress, and the breeze on them. (Dont mind what it looks like)

I am south of London and still waiting for summer, wore 3 layers of winter clothes as usual this morning and heating on last night; most nights covered by blankets and electric blanket on every night.
It’s been the same for over a week )but seems a lot longer.).

Our summer so far has been just the job for me. Bursts of sunshine but not too hot. I haven't looked forward to summer I was dreading we'd have a repeat of last year, relentless heat. Here in London we had 40° one day last year....horrendous. I insisted on buying an air conditioning unit to be ready for a repeat performance.
Fingers crossed we have a 'normal ' British summer.

By l live summer. Long days and the freedom of not having to bundle up n clothes.

Please let us enjoy a few weeks of decent weather. We really don’t have that many days that are unbearable.
All you people that like it cool/cold win hands down most of the year.

Love the Summer, light evenings, sitting in the garden till it gets dark, I wear an eye mask to bed it really stops me waking at silly o’clock. Less clothes nice light dresses, flip flops, shorts, salads, open windows, walking in the sunshine I enjoy it all.

I’m with you MissChateline,I could have written your post, just substitute Barbados for Mumbai. When the plane door opens and I feel the heat and think of the snow and freezing weather I’ve left behind in Canada,it’s just the best.

I love the summer I feel so much better physically and mentally and my ball goes forever on the golf course!

Hate winter, love summer, but these days, not too hot.

I think that the light levels in the summer months have a positive mental health effect, and would not be without them. Most people get a sense of greater wellbeing in the summer.

Myself? I love the summer. I adjust my behaviour if it is hot and spend the afternoons snoozing under an umbrella. I get up much earlier and do what jobs are needed before 9am if it is going to be. Very hot. And once the temperature hits above what is comfortable I retreat to the north side of the house and relax. Lots of water/ home made lemonade etc and a good book.

I can honestly say our winter is still ongoing, the heating has kicked on again this morning so it's obviously still cold outside , the north wind has been bitter and constant, the days grey, drizzling and cold.
My wellbeing is really being affected now, its so depressing and disappointing, we are almost at midsummer's day.

This is about the most depressing thread I ve ever seen We get about a months worth of warm weather a year if we are lucky and people use such emotive language as ‘hate’ ‘worst nightmare’ ‘horrendous’
No wonder we are such a miserable country
I LOVE summer I feel alive, I love the warmth on my bones, I love the bright light nights I love the feeling of well being you get from the lightness the brightness and it lasts a few weeks then it’s gone for at least 10 months
Here in the east we have had no warm weather yet this season it’s still depressingly cold and I mean cold

Summer please come to us so we can smile again and I can go to my beautiful beach without a hat and scarf on

We live in hope Bluebelle 🌻

The trouble is that for many people hot, even warm, weather is a nightmare - I get bad headaches and itchy skin when it’s warm, and I lack energy. Find it hard to sleep at night. Very prone to being bitten by bugs in the garden, etc. so not great, especially as I love my garden. My mother had skin cancer, so I’m very aware of that too. I love looking at sunny views from a shady spot!
