Who loves the hot summer weather ?

Who hates the hot summer weather ?

Reasons for both

For me it is nice but nights can be a nightmare if you want to sleep

---

Can't go out in the day because it is too hot
Can't sleep at night because it is too hot
Any slight physical activity makes you sweat and need a cold shower

And there is nothing you can do at 28c that you can't do with as much or more pleasure at 22c

I believe I have a fundamental human right to be able to work and play outside and sleep at night and therefore temperatures above 22c by day and 10c by night should be made illegal under a UN Charter and we should recieve compensation if governments break this charter and permit silly temperatures to persist for a period of more than 24 hours.



Did I say I don't like hot weather?

 

 

---

Absolutely love hot weather. The hotter and more humid and uncomfortable the better. I also enjoy seeing people whinge about it just as much.

---

I like hot weather because I can go around in my bare feet.

 

Love the summer.. Wearing less and only light clothing. Enjoying the sunshine.

Do like not the chore of watering pots on the patio.

Do not like long nights of  not being completely dark skies for stargazing.

Who loves the hot summer weather ?

Me to a point, when the temps get above around 26*c and it starts to get hiumid that's when I start to hate it.

Who hates the hot summer weather ?

When it get's above 26*c and humid with it and when the nights don't cool down.

 I love hearing the people say they love hot weather when they live in places that rarerly get above 25*c if there very lucky  bring them this way for a summer when life carries on and see how they get on. In reality most of us still have to continue to work and don't have a pool or sea to dip our feet into.

And that is the other reason I hate hot weather - cos Matty loves it

---

I love the hot weather but fear that we have seen the last of it for some time now. Hope I am proven wrong!

That's Essan. This area is consistently one of the warmest parts of the UK.

If the Richard in Aberdeen moaned about it being too hot it would be hilarious

For the same reasons as some people enjoy the boredom of cold temps, I enjoy heat. It's a weather event. Get over it lol

+1 The only time I like hot weather is whilst snorkelling in the Carribean, the rest of the time 70f is more than warm enough.

We have exchanged views about this in the past Matty, but I still am not sure if I believe you, maybe you have a sadistical streak. which would explain the last sentence What pleasure can be derived from feeling uncomfortable?, particularly when there is little or no oppertunity to get comfortable without A/C, which I can't afford. The portable units are much too noisy.

As for me, the only time I want to feel hot is in winter time, when I can turn the heat off.

---

 Ditto in winter when the moaners come out complaining that it's to cold when the mercury drops below freezing.

I can take it or leave it. When it's like this though, warm and comfortable with lots of sun, it's perfect.

I'm starting to not mind hot weather quite so much these days now that I no longer work under glass but it's only lately that these muggy nights are starting to make me cranky. 
  Living right next to the coast does have its good points and drawbacks. For a start, the cool seas seems to prevent it from getting too hot IMBY (although the 19th July '06 was an exception when it got up to 36 C here at Folkestone and thus was the hottest place out of the whole of the UK on that day). But, on the other hand, every time it does get properly warm and humid, like it has done so recently, it causes everyone around here to get all loud and silly with road rage and fighting over parking spaces - it's even worse in the weekend and how a road next to me has recently been turned into a two way system. Caaaaaaaaaaaaaalm down everyone! Oh, and don't get me started on them lots next door wanting to have good weed toking sessions and BBQs everytime the sun does come out and during the night (I have pointed out to them how the stench stinks the inside of my house if I leave windows open but they don't seem to get it).

Away in N Devon this week , never known us be away in the UK and have this sort of wall to wall heat every day.

Kids have been in the sea and on the beach every day and loved every minute of it.

Too hot for me but as it is a holiday  and not work I wont complain.

---

I loathe hot weather because people like SEMerc go around in bare feet.

On the other hand my tomatoes are loving it, so I can't complain.

The straightforward and cost-free way of cooling down at nights is to get rid of any loft insulation. That way the summer heat does what it's supposed to - rise into the attic and dry out any dampness up there from the winter. I can't understand why people install this stuff and turn their bedroom into a literal oven. Unless you have a full range of soffit vents and breathable roofing felt, it doesn't even keep you warmer in winter, as the attic just gets damp and it's like trying to keep warm in wet clothes.

Removing it can save you £££s too from not having to replace the roofing timbers when they eventually rot from the dampness which loft insulation promotes during winter, particularly if there is inadequate ventilation or old-fashioned bitumen roofing felt.

---

Love it,  8 days above 21c, 2 days at 28c - perfect.

Explain how anyone can enjoy being freezing cold in the middle of winter? It's the same thing. What is comfortable about that?

At least with hot weather in summer people are out enjoying themselves and giving the world around you a feeling of well being and happiness

---

I love hot sunny humid weather (especially if thunderstorms are a result)

I love sub-zero weather (especially if snow is a result)

End of...

---

Ditto

---

Each to there own, I enjoy the cold, I also enjoy the heat, just not keen on humid conditions especially when working.

And if Harry The Hammer in Essex moaned about it being too cold it would be Hilarious

---

Spot on. Some people cannot accept it though. Odd

Anyway, another hot day here today. Lurvely

---

It is much easier to warm up in winter with excercise or extra clothing than it is to cool down during heatwaves. There is nobody around here out enjoying themselves I can assure you, I think the well being you speak of is that West Country cider perhaps.

---

Similar to me, but I don't love hot humid weather. I detest it with a passion. The thought of a thunderstorm makes it more tolerable, especially if fresher air replaces the warm/hot air afterwards.



Totally agree on this, the night-time is the worst for me. I find it hard to have a good nights sleep. I hate working in hot weather, the constant sweating, it makes me feel tired quicker, I get moody too.

 

---

Not sure if you're being serious or not, Doug. To say no one is enjoying themselves there is bull isn't it? So everyone there is hating the weather? Think about it, Doug.

You're right about the cider though.

Cheer up fella. Life's too short to miserable because the sun is out
