No. It's the nice weather and long days.
If you count nice weather as scorching hot air that's difficult to breathe in, nonstop blinding sunlight, rarely any precipitation to cool things down, and for all that pain to last like 16 hours of the day, then sure, that's nice weather. Not to mention the million bugs constantly trying to get you.
Summer used to be nicer, though. Before the climate crisis made it unbearable.
Winter being more fun, because there actually was snow for downhill sports is pure nostalgia from when I was a kid. I can agree on that. But summer was great if you had access to a lake or pool.
This is true, luckily where I live we still get a ton of snow(lake effect) so I can continue to enjoy winter(except for the driving) hopefully for a while longer. Summer has unfortunately become unbearable though, getting between 90°f-110°f for weeks on end with unbelievably high humidity has been nothing but pain.
Yeah, I guess you and the other person don't really share climates. Summer means very different things to people from central Sweden and people from Sicily (not from US, so... difference between Mississippi or Colorado, maybe?)
Absolutely, this was a point I was going to make until I got a reply telling me to "get some friends" and I decided to make a snide remark.
Yeah, that comment was kinda shit.
I don’t recall hitting 110°F (43°C) but other than that your description is spot on with my recent experience in Michigan.
I miss summers where it was just humid, not stupidly hot AND humid.
NW Ohio and this summer's baseline was mid 90's with full humidity, and just more heat thrown on top. Quite a few days in a row over 100, which is fairly unheard of on Lake Erie. My apartment doesn't have AC, my office doesn't have AC, and my car doesn't have AC.
