35 degrees and it’s just the beginning. I can’t understand how anyone can be outside by their own will like this (unless you’re forced to work in those conditions, construction workers and similar).

    Come to the southern US where humidity is at an average 75% all year round. Not only is it hot, the air is hot, and heavy, and wet and will make you feel stickier than a woman in a bukkake

    95°F for us Americans.

    That is hot. How bad is the humidity? That’s the part I hate. It makes breathing so difficult for me.

    It’s not so much the heat that bothers me (even though it can), but it’s so hot right now some of us haven’t seen a single animal aside from squirrels, deer, and rabbits all month. So much for animism.

    I hate the heat too, I’d rather it was below freezing. That being said, I think so many of us at least in the US spend so much time in temperature controlled spaces that it makes it harder to deal with. There’s kids in my neighborhood but you’d never know it unless the outside temperature is between 70 and 80 degrees. I’m gonna sound like the old fart here but I’ve never lived in a house with central air, never went to a school that was air conditioned and until recently never had a work van with working AC. Like a lot of modern conveniences they make us lose our ability to cope. People have been around a lot longer than these comforts. Rant over.

    I can understand why Summer is great for most people, but it’s not my fave season either so I totally get you. I typically just stay indoors since my room is so cool. I love the Winter. If I were a Pokemon, I would absolutely be an ice type! ❄️

    If you are not working, just go to the pool.

    Or if you have young children, go to the paddling pool or to the water jets.

    Fishing, building decks, hiking, tromping in the woods, drinking in the yard, parties, beaches, tan lines, sundresses, bikes, cigars, sports. Plenty of good comes from summer times.
