Am I the only person on MN who loves the summer?

All I see is posters moaning about summer and loving the winter.

I love the light nights. I love not wearing boots and coats and scarves. Bring the summer on!

We have this every year about summer then the same about winter 🤔
Of course you aren't the only person to like Summer.

I love it too. Can’t wait to sit out this weekend

I love summer! I love the light, and the heat, and just the lift it brings. Everything looks and feels better in the sunshine! Having said that, I also love cold, crisp winter days too.

It's not only gorgeous but it's practical in ways some people don't appreciate. Riding my bike is safer, drying washing is easier cheaper, it's easier and probably cheaper to entertain children, the list is endless.

Everything seems so alive in late Spring and summer, The trees are glorious the gardens are looking their best.

No more dark mornings on the way to work. Hours of daylight after work.

Fuck winter.

I love the summer ☀️

I love certain aspects of summer . In particular I love the long days - so much more opportunity to get stuff done.
And I love seeing the garden burst into life- gardening is my hobby.
But I really don't like very hot weather or prolonged spells of dry weather.

Nope absolutely love it! Bring it on

I think some people like a moan

Sitting in the garden on a summers evening is bliss. Seems most of MN would prefer to be huddled under a heated throw though.

All snuggly and cosy. Don't forget the twinkly lights. 🙄

I love it too!

No you aren't. I'd make it summer all year round if I could. I loathe autumn and winter and have no interest in snuggly and cosy.

Tickets25 · 22/05/2026 22:37

You're not alone! The brighter days and nights make such a difference!

Thelonelyshrew · 22/05/2026 22:35

Me too.
We hardly have a summer, yet people complain!

FeministThrowingAPrincessParty · 22/05/2026 22:35

I love it too OP! Love wandering around in a dress not hunched over in the cold. Love eating outside, watering the plants etc. Enjoy!
