Hate summer

I dread hot weather, just don’t understand the appeal. I don’t like being woken at 4.30 a.m. by the light, and I prefer it dark by about 7 or 8 pm. I also much prefer winter clothes (too old now to look good in summer ones). So, I don’t like summer!

I was blaming sleepiness on the hayfever tablets. I'm really hoping that will abate once the white flowers are over - hawthorn and the cow parsley really set my itchy eyes and runny nose off.

I love the light mornings and the long evenings, but hoping it doesn't get too hot again this year.

I love the heat, cold damp weather means aching limbs and difficulty moving. I also love the lighter evenings.

I feel lucky to be in the NW where the current good weather has been mostly warm rather than hot. Like others I am not a fan of heat, especially at night. My idea of hell on Earth is a sandy beach on a hot day. Can’t imagine anything worse.

I love the sun and love summer, but my hayfever is terrible this year, I’m really fed up with having streaming, itchy eyes. Even the dog has hayfever!

And dont you miss the sunshine when its dull?

I can but echo GSM words and be evermore thankful that the weather hasn't been unbearable as previous years....

I was buying Magicool by the truck load .... whoaaaaaaa

I’m so pleased that we have had cool weather here in north Norfolk and it seems likely to continue for a few days. Shame for holidaymakers during half term of course but I really don’t like very hot weather without a nice breeze.

I like very short bursts of heat maybe 27/28 degrees, then a regular summer temperature of about 21 degrees..... with rain just at night..... for the garden.

Energy low anyway, but love to see people enjoying themselves and me not needing a cardi just nice loose clothes, and the sun drying the clothes outside...

Fussy, me?

I have just seen the forecast for the weekend when it will get hot, dreading it.

Yes …but then I felt like that in the winter too 🤷‍♂️

I know we've not had a lot of nice weather but I just feel completely drained. I've no energy at all , I just want to sleep. Anyone else the same
