Hi all.
What do you prefer whats your time of day and whats your season.
daytime or night time, winter or summer.

I do more at night i go for walks in the dark early hours in the mornings, its very peaceful.
In my defence i do have a skin issue thats worse in daytime along with list of allergies.

My life is much easier in winter time love winter time and im a night person.
I get very happy when autumn starts to set in.

I love it when it’s pouring it down the with rain and I can watch it from my window

So about 90% of the British year then 🤣. I'm really looking forward to the rain stopping now, it's been awful for the last couple of weeks.

Ooh yes me too, or when I'm inside and it starts chucking down really loudly!
I also love when the rain finally stops in the evening and you go outside and it's a bit chilly and all still and fresh. Bliss!!!

I enjoy both, they are different obviously. Life is too short to dislike a chunk of the year.

mondaytosunday · 22/05/2026 08:49

Autumn. I love the nights drawing in and the chill in the air.

Portakalkedi · 22/05/2026 09:20

yes, a night owl and prefer winter to summer, but autumn is best. Dread hot weather and always looking for shade, with SPF50, sunglasses, hat.

Squirrel60 · 22/05/2026 09:53

Oh my cod, yes!

I've never been a big fan of daytime, much preferring nights, and I detest summer, but love winter!

I love the rain, snow, fog/mist, storms and so on!

When I watch the news and it has the forecast on and they say it’s 13C in Shetland, I’m like “oh I wish I could teleport there for however long the heatwave lasts”

Because I do international selling and private tutoring to students across time zones I rarely sleep for more than 4 hours at a stretch. I am often up til 5-6 am. I love being up at night. Being awake and working while evryone is asleep gives me a feeling of power. Whether its summer or winter makes very little difference to me.

Fraughtmum · 22/05/2026 11:32

Yes. My skin hates the warmth . I love autumn/ winter/ spring

Openmouthinsertfood · 22/05/2026 17:21

My favourite season is winter and my favourite weather is snow, closely followed by rain. I got teased as a child for wanting to go and sit out in the rain. I love the dark nights, and no surprise, I'm a night owl. I've never tolerated the heat very well and hot weather and heatwaves are a nightmare.

ImImmortalNowBabyDoll · 22/05/2026 17:28

I'm a night owl, but I hate winter.

Hate the endless, dreary dark, the cold, the damp, having to put on layers and layers to leave the house or even to stay in.

I love summer.

stargirl27 · 22/05/2026 17:37

Definitely summer and early mornings for me

Thiswasanescapeplan · 22/05/2026 17:38

Night owl. Love winter. Don't mind summer but just prefer winter.

Laiste · 22/05/2026 17:45

I adore early summer mornings.

5.30 ish, suns up, air smells amazing - the promise of a glorious day 🌞

Elbowpatch · 22/05/2026 17:50

I’m a night owl but love long sunny days with the temperature around 30 degrees.

Really not keen on short days and miserable damp grey weather.

user293948849167 · 22/05/2026 21:34

I prefer daytime - morning now that I’m older but it used to be later. Never been a night owl though.

I prefer winter to summer but like Spring & Autumn more. My favourite months are April, September and October.
I don’t like it hot and all the faff of sunscreen etc (am ginger)

Wynter25 · 22/05/2026 21:34

Love the summer

Thiswasanescapeplan · 23/05/2026 13:10

Does anyone have any spare winter lying around they can send me?

It's so ...summer today
