To hate this weather....

[Donut22]

I think most people get depressed in winter I am the opposite!! Don't get me wrong I do enjoy the hot weather BUT I feel like everyone is out living their best life's at the beach or in pubs with friends while I live out groundhog day.... Work, pick children up from school, dinner tidy up baths and beds..... That's my life and the sun just makes me so desperate for a social life! In reality I know everyone is probably doing the same old same old but in my head everyone's having fun in the sun except me! Tell me how unreasonable I am being lol

I love it too. Just seeing the sunshine cheers me up, I live in a very built up area but I still find somewhere green to go for a walk everyday.
But I used to be obese and summer was really miserable then, now I'm much more heat tolerant (downside is winters feel colder without the protective layer of blubber!).

Im not a fan of all these big swings in temperature though. Going from 28c tomorrow to 12c 3 days later is unreasonable.....I'd really like some time to adjust! Sadly there is no manager to complain to about this issue.😁

Only time I've seen the sun is to hang the laundry out 😂

I work outside and love this weather. I’d take this over working outside at zero degrees any day.

I suspect that most of the MN summer haters tend to live in built up areas and commute to a hot office on public transport that has no aircon. I think a lot of them also have noisy and inconsiderate neighbours.

Like you we are rural and have seen tiny lambs bouncing about in the fields, a wonderful display of bluebells in the woods, loads of colourful candles on the horse chestnuts and enjoyed the wonderful birdsong right now. I like not having to layer up every time I leave the house, but I will be back to that by the weekend.

Not wishing to rub salt in heat haters wounds, but my aircon office is so chilly I wore a cardigan to keep warm and went outside at lunchtime to warm up.

Yes, on reflection I can quite understand not enjoying this time of year in a built up city, given how hot such places get.

Fortunately I'm lucky to be somewhere I can appreciate everything spring has to offer - and I always feel so much happier and healthier when we 'come out the tunnel of winter' as my mum calls it.

Spring is such a joyful season, far more than dreaded Christmas in my opinion.

I know the staff are used to people browsing the stationary because 'autumn' 😄

It has been kinda quiet tbh, but I'm a patient woman

@mumofoneAlonebutokay Gif = me coming on here when something breaks!

I don't know why but I always get a cold when the temperature shoots up, lasts about 2 weeks and it's gone and I feel much better but I do always get a summer cold.
I used to love the heat more when I lived by the coast, it's not so nice inland imo.

I love autumn/winter, I hate the heat it doesn’t agree with me.YABU though to think everyone is out having fun and you’re the only one at work and on school runs

I love September /Autumn but always get what i think is SAD in Jan/Feb.
Can you tell me why you love Winter and what do you do that makes you love it,thanks x

Also hay fever is hammering me right now. That's one thing A/W has going for it. Even cold/flu/COVID looks more appealing at the moment.

I don't like it. I have the SAD that is triggered by the lighter/warmer months.

I usually detest summer becsuse I am boiling and uncomfortable and wearing too many clothes.
This is the first year in 30 years I've been slim. I can put on a pair of summer trousers and a teashirt and go.
I finally feel free. Thank you mounjaro.

It has been a bad spring for hayfever. DD has really been struggling and even I am on daily antihistamines. I have every sympathy for hayfever sufferers.

🤣 I'm imagining the lambs going boing boing boing as they jump around the field 😊

Me too!!

YANBU. There is no right or wrong, some people enjoy warmer weather and others don’t. I don’t really like warm weather, my ideal is about 20 degrees, especially now I’m going through peri menopause. 🥵

I’m with you!
Roll on Autumn.

"Snuggle". There you go 🤓

I caught a few rays on my balcony at lunch - working from - home perfect temp at 22 degrees - if over 25 degrees gives me a migraine!

Erm thanks @SunnieShine…I think!

I’m happy with 20C, anything higher I don’t enjoy. Our house gets really warm, currently still got 24C in the bedroom with window now open (curtains closed all day) so it’s not fun. At least if I’m cold I can wrap up, when I’m hot im hot!
I’m wfh and the “office” is also getting ridiculously hot - and we have a “camera always on” policy so need to be appropriately dressed 🙈.

I don't think there is such a thing as SAD from warmer weather and lighter evenings. It's a scientific fact that being in sunlight helps your brain release more serotonin, which helps boost people's moods.

It's when there's such little sunlight in autumn/winter that SAD affects people.

Well, I plunge into deep depression at the start of the summer. Always have done.
I know several others who do too. And there have been threads on here about it.

I think a summer version of SAD exists. The "I hate summer" threads on MN mention it frequently.

I get the winter version and simply don't get why people would prefer to sit under a blanket in the dark rather than enjoy a nice sunny and warm day.

I love being outdoors and pottering in my garden in nice weather. I feel more comfortable when wearing fewer clothes and don't have to get bundled up to feel warm.
