@AdamJ so you're saying that Steve is on my side?
In the daytime, I find 12c to be the upper limit of being able to comfortably wear a heavy denim jacket on a brisk walk.
Below 5c I can comfortably wear a shirt/tee under the jacket without getting clammy, and 2c is the absolute sweet spot imo.
I just hate wearing only a t shirt, heavy clothing makes me feel confident and comfortable, which makes me associate cooler weather with feeling my very best.

@endo unfortunately in the UK, summer tends only to be the best week of the year!

@Oaktavia finally someone who agrees

@Jcaz6996 Ah yes we are talking about different types of summer, aren't we? Appalachia and the south USA gets so humid, muggy and hot during the summer. I think I would quite like UK summers if they are more mild.

I love every season.
Winter for the skiing, the beauty of snow, the heavy clothes, and the holidays.
Spring for the awakening of flora and fauna and the intermediate, comfortable temperatures.
Summer for pools, ponds, beaches, boating, biking, hiking, camping, live music outdoors, farmer’s markets, etc.
Autumn for the transitions such as leaves turning, moderate temperatures, and still some fun activities and opportunity to bust out heavier gear.
That said, I don’t live in the sweltering Deep South anymore where pollen, insects, humidity, and heat can make summers a bit less pleasant.
Enjoy it while you can, I’m afraid it’s going to get worse.

@Oaktavia confirmed! You step out the door and everything just stick to you. Sweat/Condensation on everything. Thing is, it doesn't matter if you're wearing lightweight or heavyweight - you will swelter. BUT, i like summer activities.

I spent a year in Western Australia where the summer temperatures reached 40c+ of a daily basis.
My 'room' for a few months was a converted shipping container (colloquially known as a Donga) and one night the AC died on me... not wanted to bother the bosses at such an ungodly hour I tried to power through and sleep through the heat... the outside of the metal container was still hot to the touch, hours after the sun had gone down... so being in their with no AC literally felt like I was being boiled alive

Same here, like @mclaincausey said. I helps to be near water too!

Summer was fucking brutal here last year, worst I've experienced of seventeen years in Austin. I really like summer, but I don't like it here. Too much.
You know who does summer right? Chicago. I guess they're so relieved from the unrelenting winters that they properly go nuts when the weather gets nice. Just don't visit during said winters

@popvulture Chicago gets so hot in summer. People don’t realize that places like Chicago and even Minneapolis can get very uncomfortably hot and humid. People have died in Chicago summers from the heat because air conditioning is not universal. A surprising fact about a city that can get very cold and snowy.
ATX. Well, great city but condolences on the summer heat!
