There is something to complain about in every season if you are a complainer. Personally, I enjoy something about every season but am here to read all the grousing. Keep it coming.

🥵 I have no air-conditioning in my home & am constantly sweating + uncomfortable.
Sometimes it’s too darn hot to even do household chores so my house can get messy.

I used to also hate summers because when my kids were young and out of school - I always had to entertain them somehow.

Thankfully they are grown now & out of the house so summers are more bearable in that respect.

Lol.


Serious question. How do you not have AC!!?

Are you fat?

No hot girl summer for you?



I’m willing to bet that’s the common theme here- fatties. Hot weather is a lot tougher on people with more girth. They have a much smaller mass-to-surface-area ratio, so they can’t shed metabolic heat as quickly as fit people can. So they really ARE hotter in hot weather, because they simply cannot shed excess heat.


Because SCIENCE!!!!!


You sounds delicate. I'm a size 4 and could certainly kick your butt in the gym.

No one I know who's athletic and fit enjoys the hellhole that DC is in the summer.


You couldn’t kick my butt with your three strongest friends helping, hon. I would run you into the dirt on a day like this. I LOVE running in heat.


But are you decked out in a puffer vest once the weather hits below 50?

Even in the coldest morning, cloudy temps here, I run in a tank and a very thin layer, regular leggings.

Running in snow is my absolute favorite!


No. Because after Thanksgiving we’re at our house on Big Torch until mid-April. I haven’t seen snow since Obama was President. Don’t ever plan to for the rest of my life.


You sound weak.

“People” don’t need to do all that. You might have some kind of medical condition if you do.

It was gorgeous today. I got some Sun this morning, then enjoyed sitting in the shade this afternoon.

It’s glorious outside this evening. Perfect temps.

I think this preference depends on what part of the country/world you're from. I am from Texas and was just thinking this morning on my walk how mild DC summers were. By comparison, E coast summers are a cake walk. But, again, I grew up with way worse so it feels great here. I love heading to the pool and being able to walk.

My kids were born here, however, and think that it's scorching. But we all agree that winter is the worst season.

We love the heat. Above 90 is perfect for the pool! Splish splash!

We moved to Michigan and have o regrets! We live 15 minutes from Lake Michigan and it is hot today, but there is a nice breeze coming off the lake and the cold lake water sucks the moisture out of the air and keeps the humidity low.

You all talk about coming from Michigan, New England, the PNW and how the weather in summer is so much better there and how miserable you are here and how you hate summers here..

WTAF? Why did you come here? It couldn’t have been a surprise that the weather here in the summer is hot and humid. You must’ve known this, but yet you moved here anyway.

You’re basically the same people who buy a house next to an airport and complain about noise or move next to a farm and complain about the smell.


Is it so hard to imagine that the nation's capital has unique job opportunities one would prioritize over the weather?

Also, DC's long, beautiful fall and spring seasons are exceptional.
