I do not enjoy summer

When the temperature gets over 72 degrees F, I considerate it a waste. Those people, who love the super extra heat are seriously defective. They were most probably left out in the sun when they were kids, which fried some brain cells. Hell is hot for a reason. Of course, any. temp below 68 degrees is also to be avoided
 

You, like me, have a very narrow comfort range, but about 15 degrees cooler than the average person likes. There's a woman in church that says she has never felt warm even on the hottest day, but she is miserable in winter, often only attending erratically from November through April. However, she is VERY thin - I would even say gaunt. I tell her it's because she has no insulation. Thin people can dissipate their body heat well, but that's a detriment in the cold.

Do you live in a bubble that maintains a 4 degree variance between 68 & 72?

I'm seriously defective because by choice we moved from Penna. to the southwest. Why would we want to sell a 5 bedroom home on 8 acres of land in the countryside?

Winter that would strip the trees of leaves making half the year dismal. Snow & ice needing removal, especially snow from our 900 ft. long drive way. Summer humidity a big factor. Taxes on that property. Home to large to maintain with kids grown. Health in the sense that exercise like walking or hiking outdoors limited. Roads that are a challenge to avoid potholes.

Sunny southwest. 3 bedroom ranch style home with stucco exterior & tile roof,no maintenance. Low humidity no arthritic pains, BBQ year round, hike & walk outdoors year round, Taxes, utilities, garbage, sewage, 300 mb internet combined still about $2000.00 less a year than the Penna. home. Decent roads. Retired so no need to leave air conditioned home but if we do it's in an air conditioned car to get to air conditioned businesses. Green & sunny year round not that dismal bleak winter grey. A plus not planned is the quantity of ethnic food markets that make it easy to vary our diet.

Just read what deb had to say about weight. It's true a fat person typically suffers heat but can tolerate cold better. I forgot to mention that is another reason to move. We went from fat to a healthy body weight but it took two years to get there because were weren't used to being able to get out to hike & walk year round.

Anyone remember a summer where it was so consistently hot for so long? Here in the northeast U.S., we're on our third heat wave since June. A heat wave is when the temperature reaches at least 90F for 3 or more consecutive days. Of course, to me a heat wave it when it's more than 75F for two days in a row.

A heat wave is 90F for 3 or more consecutive days? Aren't you adorable!!

Here's my area's forecast for the next two weeks. Note the lows, which means the house cools down overnight. In the evenings and early mornings we draw in cool air via powerful window and door fans. Relative humidity over this period ranges from 25% - 42%, so not sticky. Plus central air, of course. We set it at 78 during the day, 76 at night.

You're not alone. I actually feel ill when the temperature goes above 75F. I also hate the glare of the sun. I'm counting the weeks until the end of August when summer will (hopefully) come to an end.

Ours is pretty much the same.
 
Love the summer heat....Feels so good on my body and bones....i spend a great deal of my day outside....not just out there sunbathing....always finding something to do....when the heat is extreme, i look for shaded areas, that needs attention, when what you would call a scorcher, especially afternoons, am in the house, AC going, but not freezer temp. This may sound dumb.....but i'm one of those who needs the sun and the vitamin D you get from the sun, it is a need for me.
Wasn't always like this, from working in AC for so many years.......i could not take the heat when out of AC.
High humidity is hard to take, along with everyone.
So, to shorten up this long story, after 6 and 7 months of winter......HEAT and RAYS from the SUN, is the best for me.
But i'm sure i would not like 100 and plus degrees that many of you go through.
Don't want much.......just perfect weather all year round.
 
George from Jacksonville, Florida dies and ends up in hell.

On his first day there, the devil stops by and asks sarcastically, "Hot enough for you?"

"Not bad at all," says George. "I'm a native Floridian and I really like the heat."

We'll see about that, thinks the devil and gives the thermostat a twist up as he leaves.

The next day, the devil shows up again. "Still enjoying the heat?", he snarls.

"Absolutely, it's like a day at the beach," enthuses George. "I'm really enjoying the low humidity down here, which makes the heat even more delightful! You know we have a lot of humidity in Florida and this seems more like Arizona. I think this is about near to perfect!"

The devil's really ticked off now. He thinks, hmmmmm……OK, he likes heat, does he? Let's see what he thinks about the cold! and turns the thermostat to 10 below zero.

Devil saunters in the next day, hoping for some misery and sees the man shivering, blue and covered with frost, but grinning from ear to ear.

"What the h-e-double-hockeysticks are you happy about now? You've gone on and on about how much you like the heat and now it's colder 'n a well-diggers a$$! Why are you smiling? Why?"

George beams at him and yells, "I knew it was going to happen some day! The Jaguars must have won the Super Bowl!!!!"
 
It hasnt properly snowed in capital of georgia for a while now. At least a decade. Never too cold so I'm fine with that i guess. I prefer winter, love of christmas and new year i suppose. But yes i dont mind the cold, like seeing people all dressed up and enjoy it myself. Dont mind summer either, hot here but doesnt bother me much. Winter has a different, prettier side i think, wish it snowed more though heh
