Does any dislike this time of year.

Summer's for me. The warmer the better. Don't ever directly sunbathe but just revel in the general feel good factor. Winter is the pits.

Grandma70s, there are plenty of nice summer clothes that don’t reveal a lot of flesh. Nearly all mine would fit that description. Nobody needs to wear shorts and sleeveless tops with shoestring straps.

I don't dislike any season; what a silly thing to say.
The weather is so variable in England it is rare for two weeks to be the same; the temperature rises and falls and the weather patterns are generally unpredictable beyond a few days. Difficult to plan ahead but one knows that no weather here will last for months without variation.
Equally, I do not have a favourite season; each one has its merits.

Winter is my absolute favourite season. I’m never happier than when it’s pouring with rain and blowing a gale….🤓
Maybe being born in early February has something to do with it 🤷‍♀️

Proper seasons would be good - but maybe the weather patterns have changed too much for such reliability now. With proper seasons it would be hard to get fed up with any particular weather. Weeks of what we used to call "the great greyness' when we lived on the English coast could be so depressing, even when it was summer and reasonably warm. And the humidity was hateful. Here it's often too hot for me, so I've had to adapt. I avoid doing anything in full sun between 11 and 5. At the moment it's 35 in the shade in my garden at 6.30pm and has been much hotter recently. But the mornings and evenings are quite wonderful. The summer smells, the warm winds, the dark blue skies and sea and seeing everyone looking (and being) relaxed day after day is quite wonderful. Life takes place outside and is enjoyed to the full. I don't need the heat but I believe that the light has so many health benefits and our mental health can only profit from that.

I'm a Leo, it's my birthday today, so I have to choose summer as my favourite season. Then I'd choose Spring, Autumn and then Winter. As long as I can open my shutters to sunlight, I'm happy.

I love all seasons, and like seasons to be very marked and clear.

Just want to get rid of November- which is just a pain in the proverbial. Give me 6 weeks in May and 6 weeks in October.

SAD is an actual condition. Its no joke if you have it. So no, its not silly to say I prefer any light to no light!

Autumn and Spring are my favourite seasons.
I hate hot weather, anything over about 20 degrees is out of my comfort zone. I waste so much time because of the heat, try not to go outside if I can help it and doing much inside is also a struggle at times.

If I didn't have cats, I'd drive south for 6 weeks beg of November, with DH and doggie.

Happy birthday Grandmafrench.

Yes happy birthday GrandmaFrench.

I am with you on your seasonal choices grandmafrench.
Have a very happy super warm birthday. 🎈 .

My other half hates winter, as do many others, which is perfectly understandable, in fact he gets quite depressed which is why one of our daughters bought him a sun lamp thingummy. So, of course he loves summer.
But I am the polar opposite, I really dislike high summer, every year I dread it arriving, and am so relieved once in autumn. I really do get quite fed up with it. When we get good weather it is way too hot and humid and I get hot at the drop of a hat so it does make me feel dreadful, and heavy thundery weather triggers migraines. Also there are sweaty crowds everywhere, too many people on the roads and jostling each other on the streets.
Give me a crisp sunny November day and day, or a warm but not hot spring day anytime. I really don’t mind rain, cloud, or snow either.
Would think I was mad if it wasn’t for one of my daughters and friend feeling the exact same way.
Does anyone else feel an odd one out like this?

I feel exactly the same.

Late afternoons in dappled sunlight, or balmy evenings which mean you can sit outside and watch the sun go down on the horizon and stay in the garden until it gets too chilly, are lovely - but the hot, still, humid day - where you look at the trees and nothing's moving because there's no breeze, and every move causes another outbreak of sweat and you have a million and one things to do. No - too awful.

No. I am glad and grateful to be alive when so many dear to me are not.
If it’s hot, I can stay indoors with a fan on (and not necessarily much more . ), if it rains I know the garden needs it, the morning sun and (still) light evenings will soon enough be a thing of the past, so could we please stop moaning about the weather or the season?

Many happy returns of the week to you GrandmaFrench. 😁
I love the temperate climate in the UK. Nothing too extreme usually. And no wonder we talk about it here so much - it can change so much in any given day!

*day obviously! Duh!

Spring Summer for me please.
We don't really get colder crisp Autumn /Winter days as I remember them as a kid.
Let alone Snow, hardly seen where I live on the South Coast.
It just seems to rains, and rain!
Well it feels like it in last few years all the way until May.
I now think we have 5 seasons.. Spring /Summer /little Autumn /Rain /little bit of Winter with Rain.
I hate it especially this year, it was just such miserable weather.
I desperately needed the sun to shine and top up my Vitamin D.

I love the summer, bright sunny warm days are my idea of heaven. Sunshine makes my day whatever season of the year it is. Dank and dreary is grim, dank, cold and dreary is grimmest.

I love the autumn, and am now looking forward to September and October. Love crisp, bright mornings, dew covered grass and spiders webs adorning bushes and hedgerows. The smell of wood burning and the air so sharp.

I also like cosy times in winter, wood burner alight, soups and stews simmering, walks in the forest and along the beach.
Fewer people around and energy and exhilaration. Listening to rain and wind while we’re warm and safe indoors

Springtime is lovely with nature awakening and the promise of the first flowers blooming, birds singing and warmer days outside.

Summer is my least favourite when it’s hot and humid.Too many people around , beaches and beautiful places, heaving with visitors. Travelling is tricky with busy roads, airports, ferries etc.
Sleep is impossible and energy is low.
I’m happy to be by the sea with fresher air and dips in the briny to cool down, but look forward to autumn.

I was born in high summer but I’m a winter babe at heart.

I

I don't enjoy the heat one bit.
Cooler, breezy days are more my thing.

Happy birthday grandmafrench

When it is really hot, I love the early mornings and late evenings. I really don't like hot days and hot nights - no peaceful rest. The golden September and October days are my favourite when the sun casts long, low golden shadows and the beach is ours again till next year.

I love the summer months , apart from trying to sleep when it’s really hot .
I love the sunshine and blue skies. I don’t sunbathe like I used to do . I fake tan instead .

The summer drains me, I just feel heavy and lifeless. I go out with my family who say isn't it lovely while I'm absolutely drenched in sweat
