Any Aussies not fond of summer?

Born and bred in Melbourne and I’ve always hated summer. Not so bad where I live now near the Bellarine Peninsula, my unit stays cool mostly and we get lots of sea breezes. Autumn and winter are my favourite seasons, I get to wear all the jumpers I’ve made and not have to drown in sweat and slather on sunscreen every time I set foot outdoors. (Still better than when I lived in Queensland, the humidity was dire.)

Any other no-thanks-to-summer outsiders here? :)

I'd love just a touch of summer for a little while please!

It's cold, wet and miserable here today. I'm not ready!!!

It’s certainly plunged into winter here, too - it’s 10.9 at the moment and only reached 13. Brrr!

I hate Adelaide summers. I swear I get a form of SAD when it’s sunny, hot and dry for weeks on end. Hot nights are the worst. I’m not really a beach / pool person (apart from dog walks when not too hot).

I’m more than happy to do a European winter holiday with the added bonus that I can escape the summer heat at the same time. Even better if I can mix it with a ski trip. Plus places like Venice and Florence are so much less busy in the off season.

At times I feel like I was born in the wrong place. Would be more than happy to have been born in the UK.

This is me! I think I have summer SAD too. Born and bred in Adelaide, but fucked off to the UK nearly 20yrs ago and have never been happier.

Australian summer is miserable.
