I hate the dull weather and miss the sun…I am probably unreasonable

I am in north west England and have been loving the heat and sun. Yes, we needed rain but why not a day or 2 of rain and then back to sunshine?, and repeat until the end of September. I don’t even need it that hot - 22 degrees would be fine. But last night and today, it’s back to the grey sky we have for 75% of the year.

Last night I shut our blinds about 8 as it was so grey, and I instantly felt oppressively sad. I have SAD and dread the end of summer. And autumn inevitably brings grey skies and rain here, setting off my asthma.

Anyway, am I being completely unreasonable to areas the return of grey skies?

Yep you are unreasonable and need to move to a warmer country then . I’m in Manchester and absolutely loving the cooler weather, rain and moody skies.

That doesn’t make sense to me (unlesss I’m reading it wrong).
Yanbu to want sunshine, that’s your preference. I’m glad it was cooler today because I’m bored of the heat and sun
