Obviously this only applies to people in the northern hemisphere, but I guess anybody in the south can just go off their past anecdotes.
Where I live it usually rains from August to December, then snows in January, then rains again from February to mid-May. Right now we’ve been getting highs of 75F (~23C) (yes, go ahead and laugh Arizonans) and I’ve just been dying inside. I have my fan constantly on and my car’s A/C is on literally the coldest temperature. I love the rain here and it hasn’t rained for an actual month. We had one (!) overcast day in the past like 3 weeks. I just really wanna wake up to rain and 45F (~7C) again. I know I’ve only got a month and a half til that starts to become a reality, but it’s just passing by so slowly.
It doesn’t help that I’m pretty far north, so the sun has been setting around 8:30 PM with last light as late as 9:30, and then rising at like 5 in the morning. Honestly my favorite time of year is when I get home from work and the sun has already set.

I hate summer and can’t stand heat. It’s simple: It’s cold? Can always add more layers of clothes. It’s hot? What am I gonna do once I’m out of clothing layers and it’s still too hot, remove my sweating skin?

Water becomes your friend. Humans were literally designed for hot African weather. Until it reaches the hundreds you should be totally fine even comfortable if you take the right precautions.
I never feel right in winter gear, it traps a layer of sweat and fails to cover my face. It always disincentivizes me from leaving my heated indoor environments, and no matter how much you wear you still know it’s cold. However I’m fine existing outside from 55-95 degrees.
My habitable zone is 69-71f…
See, this just fucking baffles me, because I know humans evolved for tropical climates, but according to science (Google) the optimal temperature for sleeping is 60-65 F?!
Go camping, night time is usually cold even on hot days.
The electricity bill makes me hate summer.
Nah, I’m getting older and every year feels shorter. Shit goes by quick enough already.
Also, lol @ 75F being considered hot. I’m not even close to Arizona. Completely other side of the country (both vertically and horizontally if that makes sense) and even here 75 is a joke.
Enjoy this cool weather people! It’s the coolest one we will have going forward.

Summer sucks. Especially the part where after you take a shower, you’re already sweating.
Ha, 75, i wish. Try 95 for 3 months streight
I literally wrote about this in the post
Noo! I can’t get enough summer! I don’t feel alive during the dark cold winters…
It has been quite nice this summer in Denmark for those that usually hate it. Usually I retreat to the coldest darkest corner of my world to survive, but not this year. Very windy and rainy with most days sub 20C (68F). It can stick around as long as it likes.
Same in Sweden. Besides, it was almost June before the spring really arrived. I’m really not looking forward to the summer ending.

Yeah, I personally hate the summer. I’d love to live in the kind of climate you are in, it’s in the hundreds here, but I get it. The heat just saps your energy and everything seems to drag on. Don’t forget to drink water! Hopefully it doesn’t get hotter for you.
I’m not fully there yet since this summer has been more reasonable this year here, but I’m on my way to wishing it would go by quicker.
Words cannot express how much I hate walking out of the gym after a workout, already pouring sweat, exhausted, and out of breath, into essentially an outdoor sauna, and then into my car with all-black interior that you can’t even breathe when you get in because it’s so hot. Such an all-around awful feeling.
Also, like you, I really don’t like the super long days. I don’t like the super short days either, but right now it’s still bright out when I go to sleep and it’s annoying. I like having a couple hours where it’s dark before I go to bed as it feels like a nice wind down and perfect for watching TV or gaming without glares on the TV or just my space being lighter than I want.
Absolutely because I’m not a fan of the heat, and actually much less active during the summer because it takes longer for the outside to cool down enough where it’s more comfortable than being with AC.
I’m from the UK, where people die of heatstroke above 32C (90F).
I am currently living in Texas, where it’s been consistently above 41C (106F+) for a solid month now.
This summer cannot end quickly enough.
I… actually kind of like feeling slightly cold. Shivering kind of feels nice. I may be slightly masochistic. I hate summer though.
Absolutely not. I love the summer and I feel far more alive when the sun’s out! Unfortunately, here in Ireland we’ve been having lots of rainy dull shite weather and not much sunshine. I wish the rainy dull shite would pass quicker.
It’s been rubbish where we live. I don’t feel like we’ve had a summer this year. There’s been the odd hot day, but it’s most rained and/or been windy and/or been overcast.
Are you also in Britain?
Yup.
