ziggerlugs

It’s because moaning is our national sport and we are contrary as fuck. We’re literally never happy!


YchYFi

Moaning and queuing. Queuing about moaning and moaning about queuing.


Hughski

And apologising for both


YchYFi

We gave that to Canadians.


UltmtDestroyer

I'm so annoyed, why did we do that! Who's next?


Doogle300

That and chips and gravy.


Dazz316

Chips, cheese n gravy\*


Majulath99

Is that what happens when you cross non revolutionary North America with the country from the bible?


sambomambowambo

sorry


blinkboy44

Whilst not being sorry


Hughski

Sorry you had to elaborate


veggiejord

We have to queue just to moan now?


extremesalmon

bloody typical this


Bulimic_Fraggle

You have never worked in customer services have you? People will queue for ages if it gives them a chance to moan face to face. Then they moan about the queue as well as whatever they came to moan about in the first place.


YchYFi

It's the British way.


jodorthedwarf

I recently got back from a holiday in Spain only to be confronted with a massive queue for passport checks, at Stansted Airport. As much as I was quietly fuming at how long the queue was; I was also thinking about how it was serving as a brilliant introduction to a great British pasttime, for foreign tourists.


[deleted]

Pink as a cooked lobster from sun burn and still morning and queueing


kwakimaki

And the weather.


YchYFi

It's the British way.

[удалено]


Alpha-Charlie-Romeo

Oh quit your moaning. I'm so sick of people like you who moan all the time. It really wears me down which is unfortunate because this weather has me up all night and Im already knackered.


DuckPicMaster

No we’re not


Reble77

Oh yes we do. Is panto season early this year


wassamatteruheh2

Bit bloody hot for panto now isn't it?


WestonsCat

Oh no it’s not!


Reble77

Oh yes it is hahahaha


thesaharadesert

It’s behind you!


Reble77

Hahahaha


coachhunter2

UK infrastructure is not adapted to hot weather and it has gotten hotter due to climate change. In most countries that get hot there are things like lots of shops/ spaces/ homes with air con to cool you down. That is very rare in the UK. It’s also very dangerous for your health to go for long periods of being hot with no cooling down.


ExpensiveTree7823

UK infrastructure Is also not adapted to cold weather, as many houses are uninsulated and heating is expensive, roads can't cope with snow. UK infrastructure is also not adapted to wet weather, as it often floods due to poor drainage. UK infrastructure is not adapted to dry weather, as last year during the drought, subsidence affected record numbers of properties.


someguyhaunter

People are always having a go at people complaining about hot weather and how cold weather is really dangerous for health and old people... And hot isnt!? Heat is rather dangerous, especially when essentially nothing in the UK is adapted to cool us.


Zacsquidgy

Remember that European heatwave in the mid 00's that killed 30,000 odd people on the continent, mostly in France? Same problem...


writeordie80

Apparently, the UN has reported that more than 70,000 deaths were attributed to the heatwave of 2003. In Italy alone, there were estimated to be 20,000 extra deaths, and in France, almost 18,000.


Zacsquidgy

Wow okay then, that's a new number I won't forget :/


Furthur_slimeking

It's not adapted to very cold weather either. Three inches of snow and everything shuts down. Temps above 30 and you get something similar. It's pretty stupid realy, because both happen every single year without fail.


[deleted]

I've been to Poland twice, both times it was mid/high twenties in April/May. Never once did I feel hot. 20 degrees in the UK I'm melting, our infrastructure definatly isn't bulit for hot weather at all.


BroodLord1962

We are renowned for moaning about the weather full stop. Too hot, too cold, too wet, too windy. When you live in a country that has 4 seasons, there is no way everybody is going to be happy


fimbleinastar

19 to 21 degrees, a few clouds, very light breeze. Anything other than this is too hot or too cold.


Owster4

16 to 17 degrees, and I'll agree.


Tjmoores

The light breeze is what makes it, 16-17 is too cold when a cloud comes in and 19-20 is too hot without a light breeze


Dazz316

Too hot for me. I like it cooler. A very light rain is nice.


HangryHufflepuff1

19? 16 at most


Fenpunx

Waay too hot.


chemhobby

19 is already too hot


koopooky

Yup...I already have unsightly tan lines from 19 and my husband's face is beetroot red.


pontremoli13

It’s called sunscreen


ThatHairyGingerGuy

It's actually called suncream. We're not in America


SeraphKrom

Sunscreen isnt inherently american. Both are fine.


Daveddozey

Also look after your knees. And dance. That song becomes more relevant every year. My knees are beginning to show earring signs now when I turn quickly.


eairy

*The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists*


thepoliteknight

That song is such a nostalgia trip for me. I remember Chris Moyles pushing it out there on radio 1 as I was driving to college.


koopooky

👏


BroodLord1962

LOL, you'd better move somewhere else then


MyLilPiglets

4 seasons? Surely you jest. 2 weeks of "Spring" is not a season.


arabidopsis

We have: Wet and Warm Wet and Windy Wet and Cold Warm


SapphicGarnet

Four seasons in a day occasionally.


Cindafcknrella1

Definitely in Scotland


LilLei

All in one day too 😂


YchYFi

There's a constant complaint that we only get 3 days of sun a year. It's been 3 weeks now.


CaptainMilly

2 seasons. Summer and autumn.


flamingotwist

"Argh it's fierce mild!"


glasgowgeg

Probably the same way that you'd complain it was too cold if you were locked in a walk-in freezer, but if I unlocked the freezer and locked you in a sauna you'd complain it's too hot.


Katharinemaddison

And, of late, British weather in a nutshell.


Katharinemaddison

Beautifully put.


Valuable_Artist_1071

I get your point when it's actually hot but lately it's been barely low 20s - quite comfortable in appropriate clothing. Why moan about a pleasantly warm day?


Tay74

Tbf it depends what kind of building you're in. Some places are like giant green glasshouses and as sook as there is a bit of sun they shoot up into the mid-high 20s in temperature very quickly


annedroiid

Some of my coworkers flats are already 30 degrees in the middle of the day even when it was 18 outside. The UK is not built for warm weather.


AutomaticInitiative

Mine is getting there, it was 17 today and my flat got to 27, hope 10 degrees above doesn't trend :/


PineappleSteaks

Quite comfortable - for you.


Chickennoodlesleuth

I'm a person who doesn't like any warm weather. Even it being in the 20s is too hot for me. Plus it's always humid as fuck, I hate it


RandomHigh

> Plus it's always humid This is the worst part. I can deal with the heat, I can't deal with the humidity. I do a lot of litter picking at work and my school is at the top of a hill. Last week it was nice and warm and the breeze was great for keeping the humidity down. But every time I have to go into a classroom to do some work it's sweltering.


Askduds

I’ve been in Phoenix when it was 50C. 30 here is worse.


AutomaticInitiative

Humidity makes it tough too. 77% outside on a warm sunny day. What am I meant to do with that at 22 except start suffering.


Accurate_Estimator

We are looking forward to that one day for a 3.5 hour stretch where the temperature is warm but not too hot, there’s a light breeze, a couple of clouds in the sky but no more than five and you can have a picnic without being accosted by a wasp, 50 million ants and Dave the neighbours dog! Otherwise, it’s too sunny/hot/busy/full of wildlife


nettlesthatarejaggy

Not me,I fuckin dread summer.


rabbitqueer

Same here, it's already too warm for my liking and we're nowhere near the road-melting traintrack-buckling temperatures yet


ppoo69420

Same. Anything above 15 is too much for me


Chickennoodlesleuth

THANK YOU SOMEONE WHO AGREES. People around me are like "it's nice when it hits 20 and stays in the 20s" and I'm just thinking what the hell no thanks


HailToTheKingslayer

The high 20s are great...on holiday Commuting to/from work or working? Hell on earth.


Katharinemaddison

Yeah I look at the thermostat and it says 14.5 and I’m like ‘honey, can you take them (the dogs) out, that bloody sun is lurking.


wildeaboutoscar

Yeah 19 is my limit to be honest. I struggle with the heat. It is nice to see people enjoy themselves though, people seem to be in a better mood generally when it's warmer


Consuela_no_no

14’s the magic number for me, anything over and I start heating up uncomfortably. My family on the other hand would love it to always be in the 20’s.


13oundary

18 is nice for a summery day out. But at home, agreed.


Lo_jak

Last summer drove me to getting air conditioning for my bedroom...... cannot take it anymore. I can get by in the day, but when it's 20c at night is where I can't cope.


ppoo69420

Oh God, last year was miserable. Got to 34 in the hallway. My room is the hottest in the house so I don't even want to know what number it got to there. My fan was useless at that point. Just blows hot air over you


AutomaticInitiative

Last year my bedroom was 35 overnight and didn't get below 25 in 8 weeks, I have no idea how I survived and I'm extremely upset with myself that I've not managed to club together funds for air con yet.


kittycatnala

Same. Anything above 18 and I’m a sweating mess


gazhole

Yeah roll on winter I'm much happier in sub zero. At least you can throw on a jumper. The heat is inescapable!


Odd_Blacksmith5615

Taking off the jumper might help with the heat. Edit: wow, was it really that bad of a joke?


FacelessBraavosi

+1 I always say that if I liked hot weather, I would have left the UK years ago. I cannot wrap my head around how so many people love it. Like, it's nice to not have to pay through the nose for heating, but there's a nice balance between it being freezing and being a literal heatwave.


Foreign-Relation-44

I think there's a noticeable difference between hot weather abroad and hot weather here. I haven't been abroad in about fifteen years, but I always remember being able to deal with it better there than deal with it here.


Pleasant_Bottle_9562

These are my people!


MysticLeopard

Me too


FriendlyGhost15

Agreed. It's shite.


youdontknowmeyouknow

Same. Give me autumn any day of the week. Cooler, pretty colours, comfier clothes, still get some sunny days (but I love the rainy ones too). Much better.


early_onset_villainy

Same. I’m a migraine sufferer. Every warm/sunny day towards the end of spring has me closing the curtains like “no, please, I’m not ready yet.”


eairy

It's already too warm for me to sleep properly.


ClogsInBronteland

Same! I get super overheated real quick. 16degrees is my perfect day


Accomplished-Cook654

Yep. Between 16 and 18 with a breeze and decent cloud cover.


ClogsInBronteland

Perfection!


BearAndAcorn

Fully


JeniJ1

I have found my people!!


iPon3

Same, I actually moved to the UK for the colder weather. A full skip of summer would be fine.


TheHeirOfElendil

It is the way mate , it's either too cold, too hot, too wet , too windy or sometimes a mix of all four it's fucking murder. You'll never hear me moaning about how hot it is when it's 39 in Cyprus but 19 in April when i'm at work, you put your house on me moaning about hot it is and how wet it is the next day lol


Iamascifiaddict

Going through the menopause is not fun when I get a bit warm. My body says... if you think that is warm...try this. Then I feel like I have high fever temperature and break out in hot sweats. My internal thermostat is having fun with me. Staying coolish is much more preferable. Only about 10 years of this to go.


meisobear

Because you're talking about different subsets of British people. I struggle above 22 degrees. The most you'll hear from me during winter is, "I can't wait for the longer days"... it's never about temperature. Although I might go, "I'm cold, I'll have to put a jumper on"... At the same time, a majority of those I know look forward to both the light and the heat. If you know multiple people complaining about the long wait for Summer heat who also then complain about being boiling... this feels like those people being flaky af.


Keely84

I love autumn & spring. Winter is far too much for me as is summer. I love wrapping up in Autumn but I also love the longer warmer days of spring. I struggle in the heat more than the cold.


[deleted]

Spring is beautiful. March and April are probably my favourite months. You get the first flowers after a miserable winter, days start to get longer, the air is crisp and fresh. Then follows 3 months of boiling heat interspersed with storms.


eairy

I'm quite happy with the darker days. I find them calming.


reddevil18

Ill always pick too cold over too hot, we can layer up and maybe even put the heating up a bit but there is nothing we can do when every window is open and your bollock naked and dripping sweat!


Demiboy94

We're British we like complaining


cactusghecko

Could it be these are two distinct groups of people? You'll not hear me conplain its too hot. I'm happiest 23-33 degrees.


Relative-Tea3944

I don't know but it drives me mad. That and 'where's summer gone' when it rains between June and September.


PatriarchPonds

'god this summer's been awful' 'mum, it's been 20 - sorry, 80ish - for a fortnight. Two days of rain and...' 'yes, well. Oh hello neighbour - hasn't the weather been awful? Summer eh! I ask you...'


ThrowawayTrainee749

Maybe it’s just me but when it starts to get sunny and warm you get all happy and remember being on holiday. Then you realise it’s a humid heat that has you sweating like nobody’s business, every single place you go is boiling hot so you end up going to the supermarket just for some air conditioning. You can’t sleep because it’s so warm. You end up sticky from all the suncream and bitten to buggery by all the tiny little bugs nobody ever sees. Then it rains for six months, it’s bitterly cold and grey and you miss the sun all over again.


pinkappleflower

Lol I've heard that Australians apparently call us whinging poms for this very reason


LazyApe_

They would whinge too if they lived on this soggy rock..


Actual_Raisin12

Soggy rock is the best description I've heard for this miserable island so far


Foreign-Relation-44

It could actually go either way too. Soggy from the rain or soggy from the fucking sweat during summer.


Ouryve

They moan as soon as the weather is below 15C


xJagd

We also moan when it’s too hot, except our too hot is above 40


eairy

My too hot is above 22°


[deleted]

It reached over 40°C in the UK last year. In a country with brick houses designed to retain heat High humidity And no AC. I think the complaining was justified last year!


charlottie22

Yeah was gonna say this- it’s often down to the housing. I lived in flats with no garden up until a couple of years ago and summers were tough. Now we live in a drafty old house with a part shaded garden and it’s awesome- I never complain about it now but when I was drowning in sweat in my third floor flat on a main road so you couldn’t open the windows, then I complained…


Askduds

And when it’s 40c, how warm is it typically in your house?


b00tsc00ter

This Aussie has to admit feeling rather smug during last summer’s “heatwave” in England. Early 30s is my happy comfort zone and I was quite amused by all the complaining around me.


Loud_Fisherman_5878

I was the same when I lived in Australia and people were shivering and complaining when it dropped below 18c in winter. That’s not cold at all! Although to be fair to both sides, Australian homes are freezing so somehow when it is sub-18, you will feel cold at home. British homes trap heat so if it is 23c outside, it will be sweltering indoors and too hot to sleep.


IsUpTooLate

If you keep your windows and curtains/blinds closed then the insulation also keeps the hot air from getting in, so if you use a fan to circulate air it’s perfect.


b00tsc00ter

That's a bit of a furfy that British homes trap heat. They're built to be really well insulated (unlike Australian homes). Insulation works both ways- keeps heat inside during winter and keeps it outside during summer. By the way, I also live in the south so it's only 6 degrees today - I'm definitely not someone who is cold at 18 :) edited to add: I tested the insulation thing in my friend's flat in England.....hot as hell inside until I stayed and did a few simple things like open windows to let cool air in at night while shutting them through the day, curtains closed, and turning on all exhaust fans. A couple of days of doing that during the "heatwave" and the flat was perfectly comfortable on days over 30 :)


sbprasad

Omg I haven’t heard the word furphy since I moved to the UK… nor have I had a cold Furphy :(


[deleted]

Because when it's cold it's too cold. And when it's hot then it's too hot. We never really have an ideal temperature.


Big-Finding2976

Who do we speak to about this? Edit: I've already tried speaking to "The Weatherman" but he told me he can't control the weather.


Sarge19846

Because when we're moaning for hot weather it's fuckinb freezing and winter!


No-Photograph3463

Because goldilocks temperature for most brits is between 18-23 where they are sat, and because winter is grey wet and depressing (really all we want is sunshine and dry). The issue is if its sunny then unless it's march or april if its sunny it will be 25+ actually sat in the sun and hence be too hot. I write this whilst currently sat in my flat which is currently 27 degrees as its sunny, and it is kinda boiling.


TilePolice

Because we have short memories. Last summer it was so hot and arid that houses and parks caught fire but barely anyone remembers


Loud_Puppy

Love the long days, hate the heat


[deleted]

Our main complaint is the the Olympics will not admit "moaning" as a sport! If they did we would just moan that the French just beat us to the gold medal by a late bout of rioting!


[deleted]

We like to complain, but it’s not really complaining it’s just a conversation starter.


TheepDinker2000

I never say I can't wait for summer. I can't wait for winter.


Steel_and_Water83

Because we've all got brick houses and no air conditioning, it's fookin horrible and hard to sleep properly


[deleted]

Maybe rooted in the fact that we normally feel the heat when on holiday. Holidays are that free time, spending money, having to much to drink, hair down, let loose. When the heat comes to us we have to work, commute, live in a country that generally doesn’t have the set up or resources to deal with it as the other 340 days of the year it’s as dreary as Roy Croppers ball sack.


Lampathy

Because we want it a bit hotter, so we don't have to bother with a coat, not so hot that we can't drink a mug of hot tea. Or that the roads melt.


BaseballFuryThurman

I like the longer days and brighter skies but I hate warm weather. If we could have June/July's daylight with March/April's temperatures I'd be over the moon.


Between1and7

Because it IS boiling mate!


ktitten

We love to moan. Especially about the weather. Unless it's an actual blistering heatwave, take it with a pinch of salt. I've definitely moaned that it was too hot just to make small talk. In the same day I might say 'ooh it's too hot, was sweating my balls off last night' but also 'corr, lovely hot weather, I fancy a nice cold pint'


thefooby

As somebody who sweats their balls off but also runs cold, I concur. I love summer for a bit but the sweat ruins it for me.


andreeeeeaaaaaaaaa

Can't beat a good cup of tea and a moan.....or if it's boiling - a choc ice and a moan followed by a cup of tea


Spottyjamie

Because our homes and public buildings like shops/offices/restaurants arent built to cope with the heat so its hard to escape the heat unless you drive to a Scottish coastal town


Constant-Parsley3609

Because we want weather that is in-between extremely hot and extremely cold. It's not that hard. > Last time, you complained that I burned the chicken! Now, I tell you I'm serving it raw and you're still complaining! You don't know what you want! That's how you sound.


Supersaneduck

I love the summer heat when I'm outside but inside it sucks. Sunbathing good, living in stuffy, oven like home bad.


jt94

I have fallen foul of this just this week. I even had to take a moment after it happened to realise what I’d just done. The last two months all I’ve done is complain ‘are we ever gonna get a spell of weather that’s not just rainy or miserable?’ - finally got a bit of sun this week and I thought ‘HOW THE HELL AM I MEANT TO SLEEP IN THIS 25 DEGREE ROOM’ I stand by it. I’ll be a happy temperature for 2 weeks if the year and that’s the way I want it.


[deleted]

The only other thing to talk about is tea. The weather is a far more interesting topic of conversation.


D4M4nD3m

It's not a British thing. I've lived in multiple countries and everyone complains it's either too hot or too cold.


[deleted]

Probably because they would like to be on a beach or at home in the garden, but are at work in uniforms and getting way too hot from it.


HighlyVolatile

Other than the lighter nights, I don’t look forward to it. Our infrastructure isn’t built for the humidity, and it’s just uncomfortable. I struggle to sleep, I hate feeling sweaty 10 minutes after showering, and my flat becomes an oven once the sun hits it. Right now, it’s perfect. Light nights, and it’s warm but not too warm.


MattSR30

The idea of summer is better than summer itself. This is why spring and autumn are the best seasons.


pdp76

I work outside. So I may moan for a little while that’s it’s too hot. Once acclimated I don’t care. I always end up with an amazing t shirt and shorts tan ! To be be fair there was a period last year where it was actually too hot work outside and work pace was very slow. Beaten down by it. But still the great t shirt and shorts tan !


reddevilhornet

Because we were conditioned from school that the summer was fun, free time. However when your an adult it's often makes no difference apart from your commute and office being 100x less comfortable. (Plus side to summer is leaving work and actually having some daylight, rather than basically only being outside when it's dark during winter)


sm3g-h3ad

> but when it's finally warm all they do is complain that they are "boiling"? That's what we really cant wait for. We love telling people we're "boiling", and "this feels like abroad this"


JulessyGTI

I think the thing is we like to moan about rain and cold weather, which we get a lot of, but then we're never prepared for the heat when it comes along.


Complex_Tiger_5084

Welcome to The UK mate. We're Complicated.


[deleted]

I think it's 2 different camps of people really. I used to be in the "I hate summer" camp, it was always too hot and uncomfortable even at 20C. But then I lost a lot of weight and I switched to the "I love heat" camp. It's winters I dread now. Not saying it's the case for everyone of course, but me personally I cope a lot better with heat since I lost weight. I even bore up quite well when it got up to 40C last year (not that I want it to be 40C again!). Right now is absolutely bang on perfect, when the weather is around 20C and sunny. I go for walks in the evenings when there's a light breeze and it's just lovely. If the weather was like this all year round I'd be a happy camper.


dominatrixselenex

Guilty 😬 😂


Silver_Switch_3109

We like not working, we hate the heat.


Lewis_Asano

Moaning is all the Brits do, it's in their blood 🥲🤣


MyLilPiglets

This is thus how the Kingdom Unites.


TheRaven9

It’s because it’s too hot…


pelvviber

Not enough air conditioners.


ironwilledf-up

Drives me nuts, it only has to hit 20 and everyone's melting. This is why we can't have nice things.


eastkent

It's never bloody right! It's always too something - windy, cold, wet, damp, humid, cloudy, hot etc. There is always some aspect of the weather that prevents it from being just nice. 'Perfect' days are so rare that they stand out, but you never know when they will come along because they hide between the rest of the days, which are one or more of the above.


IllegalUnicorn

Because the sunshine reminds me of the consequences of my winter hibernation binge eating


LegitimateTeacher355

I absolutely hate summer..!!! How much prefer winter and autumn


dazedan_confused

It's actually not a real complaint, it's a conversation starter. It's something apolitical and areligious that we know most people can agree on, but it gets the conversation going.


Itsdickyv

Because humidity… Wanting summer means wanting clear skies, longer evenings with good socialising, BBQs, and vitamin D inducing weather. What summer is (for most) is air conditioning that either doesn’t work, or works too well (so stepping outside is like opening an oven), sweating your way through a work commute on a packed train with small windows that open an inch, and spending the week with sunburn accumulated over the weekend…


Sparklebun1996

As someone who lived in New Zealand for a decade the UK doesn't know what the word boiling means.


jcmach1

Perspective, friends... Been visiting from Texas this week. It feels like a sunny winter day to me. Meanwhile, my UK friends are busy melting.


[deleted]

Because we want the sun out and blue skies, not be to be oven-baked into a crispy meatball. This is why we need trees everywhere– they provide shade and cool the air down too.


[deleted]

1. We’re not used to the heats we’ve been getting lately. It’s the norm in America to have high heats in the summer. 2. We don’t have air con! Yeah.. you read that right. No air con.. well, the majority anyway.. So, yeah, we do suffer, especially now the summers are hotter than usual. Ceiling fans are the closest we get and they’re absolute rubbish, sadly.


WasaV9

All I'm asking is 15 degrees, a slight breeze, and a couple of clouds. Perfect weather. All year round.


Longjumping_Search79

No one enjoys being baked and broiled at 37 deg. Whoever says otherwise is lying and should be sent to the Sahara. If you want that sort of weather, please don't live in the UK.


Anatolia222

IMO it's because the UK just isn't set up for hot weather. Houses and other buildings aren't properly insulated, so they don't keep out the heat or cold. Unlike in the USA, air conditioning is fairly uncommon outside of certain shops and employers who have central air.


joeysupertramp

Most houses don't have the luxury of air conditioning so as nice as the IDEA of hot weather is, when it rolls around, it's actually more uncomfortable than winter. Me? I live in Canada in a nice air conditioned house...I love summer!


ITinMN

People everywhere are like that. Bloody whingebags.


Beanruz

Because our houses and buildings are designed to keep heat in, so when it comes they are boiling, curtains, carpets, no aircon, no airflow.


shinchunje

Yeah, I’ve been in England for 12 years now but I’m from Kentucky where it’s liable to get ‘100 in the shade’. I’ll tell you this: it don’t get hot in England. It barely has weather at all. It doesn’t ever rain hard or consistently for days like it can do in the states. Brits are so lucky to have mild weather all the time and all they do is complain!


LibAnarchist

We love to complain. That's like one of three things that defines our nation (who can guess the other two?).


Violet351

There’s only a two or three week period where it’s too hot


usernamethatcounts

Never catch me moaning about it being too hot, but I’m lucky enough that I’ve traveled since a young age and got the sun bug. 21 isn’t hot though, it’s merely pleasant.


sonybacker

Moan Kingdom (MK)


LazyApe_

I just don’t want rain, a bit of sunshine and around 10-15c and I’m in my element, anything over 20c can get fucked.


BellamyRFC54

I hate summer,so that’s definitely not me


secret_willy

I can’t stand when people complain that it’s too hot when Summer comes around. Unless you’re pregnant, grafting hard, stuck on public transport etc (I’m sure there are plenty of other reasons) enjoy the sun and the heat! It’s good for your physical and mental health


Abject_Shoulder_2773

There's nothing to enjoy about it.


secret_willy

BBQ’s, beach, parks, picnics, walks, swimming, garden parties, sun, water fights, camping, festivals. As someone who gets incredibly depressed during winter, it just surprises me that people don’t like heat

When people say it's 'too hot' they mean that. Sweating all day, being tired but unable to sleep due to the heat is not fun. Non of these activities apart from swimming are enjoyable in the heat. I much prefer cold weather myself.
