Where are the summer lovers ?

I am with you.

I’m loving it too.
We have dull, chilly, wet weather for the most part of the year .
Love going out without worrying about coats and heavy clothing. Meals outside aches and pains feel better ,oh I could go on.
Obviously sensible precautions to keep home and self comfortable ( more difficult for those who are working I know).
Hoping for more of the same for a while yet.

I love the sun, always have, blue skies lift my spirits. We get so many grey, heavy days here it’s wonderful to have clear light and all day brightness. Laundry drying outside, no coats, light clothes all fantastic.

Now for the reality. The current temperatures and hayfever? Not so lovely. My eyes are like slits they are so swollen, the last two days at 31 degrees have been too much for both of us. Mr C is managing a heart condition, it’s a full time job keeping him cool.

Were the temperature a steady 25 degrees with sunshine all day I’d be ecstatic. If anyone could arrange that I’d be more than grateful. ☀️

We don't 'do' heatwaves in the Scottish north-east but I am enjoying these glorious warmer days. The summer solstice already! I can feel myself clinging on to every moment of summer - I so don't want it to go!

I love the summer so much everything seems so much easier. The grandchildren can play in the garden all doors and windows are flung open. I’m sitting in the garden watching the birds on the feeders and the green trees in the distance and it lifts my spirits. I am not a sunbather but just love being out in a dress feeling the warm breeze on my skin. Yesterday as it was especially hot we put water in the bath and left it all day and just kept sinking in the cold water when we got too sticky. I could go on and on. X

I love the fabulous long light nights. Wish they could last forever. When summer draws to a close my heart sinks.

I was born in June. I have always loved the sunshine, the summer flowers the lovely smells as I'm out walking.
Maybe I'm lucky as I love autumn and don't mind winter either. I enjoy all the seasons.

Where are the summer lovers ?

I misread that, was going to say that I'm a bit old for smooching in the park

It's cloudy and humid today, the longest day.

Oh yes, forgot to mention the long light evenings.

I love spring and summer for the longer days, hate the dark. Blue skies and sunshine do lift the spirits but those of us who find 32C too hot aren't being miserable souls who relish being cold, we just want it a tad cooler. Of course if you live near the coast you're going to get lovely sea breezes that will mitigate the heat somewhat, in the middle of a built up area it's not the same. Equating loving summer with a need to love very high temperatures is illogical. Don't forget an amber heat-health alert been issued.

I agree with that Rosie51. But, there are many who complain if the temperature gets up dizzy height of 22’. !

Love it I was born in June summer is my favourite season of all year the long light nights and sunny mornings are bliss

I used to be a summer lover, and a winter one too. Many years ago.

From the BBC website.

Meanwhile, researchers at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and Imperial College London (ICL) released a study that used historical data to forecast the capital could see 129 excess deaths related to this week's hot temperatures.
Across England and Wales, excess deaths from Thursday to Sunday are estimated at about 570 people.

Researchers said their assessment highlighted how extreme heat posed a growing threat to public health in the UK.
Dr Garyfallos Konstantinoudis, lecturer at the Grantham Institute at ICL, said: "Heatwaves are silent killers - people who lose their lives in them typically have pre-existing health conditions and rarely have heat listed as a contributing cause of death.
"This real-time analysis reveals the hidden toll of heatwaves and we want it to help raise the alarm."
He added that heatwaves were an "underappreciated threat" in the UK.

I love summer. I was born in summer and my aches and pains are much better in warm weather. I cannot bear the cold.
