Things you hate or find overrated in hot weather

. parents draping sheets over their DC in their pushchairs. It overheats the area

. BBQs especially when used too much lighter fluid. As it makes food taste of that. Plus need to BBQ about four meals worth of meat. if you did eat inside

. Going to crowded beaches. Struggle to park, queues for everything.

Yours?

I pretty much hate everything about hot weather. Give me a cold crisp day where I can see my breath!

Ditto.
It proper knocks the wind out of my sails and I find doing anything at all a bloody chore.

There are a lot of things I do like about hot weather, but I’ll add alcohol to your list (except late in the evening when it’s cooled down). Day drinking when it’s hot is a recipe for a pounding headache.
