I know summer is meant to be all about birds twittering, lots of sun and long days. But let’s face it: it’s actually about wasps, sunburn, and the sun rising before you even get to sleep.
This ranter is sounding off about Aberdonians complaining about the heat. Now there is lots that you can slag off Aberdonians about — their driving for a start! But I must sympathise in this instance. I cannot stand hot weather. There is nothing worse. And to top it all off we’ve had thunder and everything a couple of times, so you can throw heavy rain into the mix as well. Extremely hot, cloudy, raining like a drunkard on a tree — it’s bad, bad, bad.
You might say, “ah, but winter is very cold!” But the thing about that is that at least you can wrap up warm. Putting on four layers of clothes doesn’t require much effort but it can keep you comfortable all day. But if it is boiling hot then you are properly snookered. If you strip right off people will be all offended by your flesh, and you’ll still be too hot!
Summer. I’d rather gnaw off my nose.

I love summer. I live for it. Each year I am usually disappointed that we barely get a few days of decent warm weather before it rains, yet again. And during that brief few days of glorious warmth the British moan about it. No wonder I’m off to warmer climes at the earliest opportunity. Thirty degrees is just getting comfortable for me.
Winter, I detest winter and its dark dreary days an icy, bitter cold. Wrapping up is not a solution, I am still cold. This dreadful little island of ours has far too much winter and nowhere near enough summer. Thank goodness for the Gulf Stream, else it would be far worse.

I rely on the summer for my employment. A benefit of doing the job I’m doing is that I spend a lot of time in the office in the summer, and can take time off in the winter to travel and enjoy things.
I, also, hate the summer, and am seriously considering moving further north to get away from the heat.

I totally agree! Summer is horrible and its made worse by the morons who want to force their barbecues and other wretched outdoor activities onto us. Then there’s kids running about until late because of the light nights. I hate everything about summer. Roll on winter!

I agree about the hot weather. I have said all those things a million times. You can always get more clothes and be warm in the winter but you can never take off enough to be cool enough in this heat. I cracked up when I seen a place on line where people complain about the yuckie heat. I feel slimy and sticky even right after a shower. The only way to relaxe is to have ac….My hair looks like crap always and my make up too….Too bad I’m not 110lb and look perfect..Then I could go all natural and look great even in the sweltering heat..There….I feel better!! LOL!!

I sooooo hate summer. I can’t wait for it be over. I hate the hot weather, I hate hate hate bugs!!! They scare me so much. I can’t stand the humidity, or the women who have no humility and walk around pretty much naked. Fall is my favorite season followed very closely by Winter. I am thinking of moving to the North Pole.

I despise & curse summer & the hot weather! I dread the time when summer is looming, I live in South Australia & the summer here goes for months and is hot & dry, which is revolting.
I get so cross when people go on how good it is-what a deluded world there in!! The hot weather is good for nothing, you get sweaty, sunburnt, skin cancer, it makes me tired & irratable, your garden dies, the flies and bugs are revolting I get covered in bites, the car constantly over heats, pets and animals suffer. It just totally sux!
We have high water ristrictions in place & are in the worst drought in over 100 years yet these morons still worship this vile heat so they can lay on stupid beaches and burn them selves to a crisp and are a walkin billboard for skin cancer. I refer to these bizarre folk as Lizard People as only a cold blooded creature could enjoy this torturous condition!
And it angers me that inspite of all the climate changes and global warming people are building houses & buildings out of glass and with no verandahs eves or trees- outragous!
I love Winter i love rugging up in layers of clothing and open fires to curl up to and be cosy & warm. You cant cool down in the heat.
Also i cant stand seein girls in hot weather wearin basicly nothin its grose! Id rather see a woman in a nice comfy big wooly coat any day its definately more appealing save the under wear for behind closed doors! not in a shopping mall! The White Witch of Nania had the right idea FOREVER WINTER!!!!!!!!!

Im over it so Im moving to Tasmania this year!! I long to see snow again.. Summer is still going here and has been since last September, it will go to the end of April…Im so sick of these vile beach crettans everywhere & vulgar girls in ultra skin tight mini shorts, see through boob tubes, orange spray painted skin & long skanky white hair, giving everyone evils & whinging thay its cold when the weather goes below 30 degrees….Then they put on several big jumpers & thick woolen scarves & ugg boots but still have the mini shorts!!!! Summer is revolting its been hell I have been hibernating in a dark house with all the curtains drawn and blinds pulled down…I hate AC its bad for the enviroment & for people as well….so I just have fans…I just love all the scars i have all over me from all the mozzie & bug bites too, & the lovely flies!! For the sake of the planet I beseech of people to stop worshipping the vile heat & stop wishing for it not to rain…Theres more to life than the stupid beach & the narcisstic arrogance of showing of your bodies & stupid outdoor entertainment bar b ques etc….Winter is just pure MAGICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have a large whole in the Ozone layer here and the sun does burn in second being in it even if you have sun screen cream!!! its not only the heat its the sensation of your skin burning and its aweful and they had in the local paper people staying out in it for long extended periods of times and getting second degree burns from the sun some needing skin grafts!!!……. Im sorry summer is bad especially in Australia and those pschos who say they love it must be nuts from heat exhaustion…..
Heat exhaustion is a danger here and you can die from it!!!
At least in an Ozi Winter you can snuggle up too your companion and drin and eat harty foods and lets say sex is better in winter mm!!!!! Australia needs too break this 13yr drought its in its sad…poor animals and wild life!!!

Im in my shut up house again the dust in the air is disgusting, Ive gotten so sick from it I feel like im gonna die, my sinuses have gone crazy, headaches etc….I cant talk about it to anyone here or they get so aggressive & wana kill you!! If you dont like the heat here they tell you to put up with ut and treat you like a freak…I cant wait to move so I can live again….I wish there was somrwhere summer was non existant.
Im so sick of all these clowns around here basically naked, & this stupid daylight saving makes the heat longer, just so the heat lovers can go to the stupid beach…..

I am not looking forward to this years summer at all!! I don’t know why people do look forward to it! The heat is annoying because you can feel faint from heat exhaustion, your clothes stick to your body and you sweat and it’s hard to try and cool yourself down with a fan or whatever. There’s too much bright light in your eyes in the morning and when you walk around outside and then there’s the insects everywhere and I always get bitten every summer! I must be allergic to insect bites or something because the bites get huuge, purple, really itchy and painful!! Girls who like summer just because they can go sunbathe and get a tan are silly! They could get skin cancer or sunburnt and anyways you can get a tan anytime of the year if you wanted from a self tanner without causing yourself any harm or premature ageing. I much prefer autumn and winter to summer even if the weather can get very cold because you can easily wrap up and be warmer in winter and it’s a more pleasant cosy time of year. Damn the summer.

I totally agree. The bugs, the bees, they follow you around, in your ears. It’s hot every_freaking_day, and you wake up to light beaming in your eyes. And like you said, in the winter you can bundle up or bundle down to stay comfortable, but in the summer you’re forced to only bundle down… and most of the time you can’t even do that. I absolutely HATE the summertime. It’s the worst, worst, worst part of the year for eternity. It makes me want to move to Antarctica where it’s cold… at least for now.
And just the feeling of winter… so beautiful, so majestic. And Christmas… everyone’s favorite time of the year <3.

As soon as I get enough moolah together, I’m emigrating to scandanavia. My full respect goes out to you guys in Oz man, I would not be able to cope with those torturous temps.

I am moving to the coldest place in Australia, Tasmania, where I recently visited & found some fellow cold weather lovers!!

I live in Southern California (reluctantly) and I hate Summer. I get sick of the “perfect weather” mentality around here, the women in over-priced sausage casings with straps worn over muffin-top waists from their tight shorts and their danged high-heeled thong sandals, and the endless rows of fake blonde moms giving me and my kids odd looks for coating our pale skins in spray-on sunscreen when we want to visit the park while they bounce around blissfully thinking you only need sunscreen if you don’t tan. My daughter has been teased for having freckles. I put that on their stupidity too. And we don’t get real Winter. We get a couple of cold days (in which you can’t keep warm in half the homes around here because who needs decent heaters when the weather is sunny and “perfect”?) with hot days creeping in at random intervals year round, with the weather in yesterday’s Spring heat wave, for example, topping out at about 35 degrees celsius, and that’s only because it cooled down from the day before. I do like the rain around here, but then, it only rains in Winter. I like rain anyway but you’d think the pitiful sprinkles they get here were really ice storms from the way the drivers react. I suppose they have reason to hate rain since any real storms tend to wash the homes that do have heaters into the ocean. I guess even more than I hate Summer, I hate Southern Californians.

Well said Debra, I too have pale skin & I burn like mad in the stupid sun, which I cant escape here…When its hot I cant wear long sleeve clothes because I get so hot & almost die… so I have to wear skanky summer clothes & sunscreen, which doesnt always work, so I get burnt heaps…These summer loving freaks here dont care about getting burnt anyway, they always have peeling skin, & think its funny, well no its not…Skin Cancer!! The mentallity here towards cool & cold weather is just depressing & very annoying…the moment I say I like the cold they take a step back, like im contagious!! It is set into their minds since childhood that the cold is evil & wrong, & you must like the heat & ‘put up with it!’ But im sorry that doesnt meld to me!! Cold, Snow Fog, Rain, Hail & all the aspects of cold weather are a true wonder of nature…I love it!! Maybe like me you will have to move to a cold climate, I cant wait to move , its not long to go now!!

OMG i am so glad i came upon this site. It is so good to see people who hate summer just as much as i do. I live in NYC and summers here are the worst. Today i got into the mid 80′s to near 90 but if you add the loads and loads of tourists, the heat from the subways, the smog from all the cars and the very faint seabrezze you get here, NYC fells like a oven. I am dreading the fact that in July it will get into the mid 90′s here and it will be humid. Everyone here loves this weather. Even the fucking news channels encourage everyone to go out naked and burn themselves to a crisp. Only four more months till fall. I hope i can make it.

I hate summer. I love winter way better. PPL always complain about me using the AC cuz they feel cold. WTF put on a sweater and I only really need it to be nice and cool for sleeping. At night it’s not hard to put on that winter blanket. When ppl say “oh save the planet turn off/down the AC” All I have to say to that is “oh save the planet turn off/down that HEATER” I barely need the heat on but ppl are like “OMG it’s so cold, let’s set the heat to 24C” I can’t stand those ppl.

This is Great!!! Finding that other people HATE Summer too!
I live in San Francisco Bay Area and the Hot days are increasing in number. Use to be able to take the occasionally drive in your car to cool off but now gas is $4.50 a gallon and trying to drive less anyway for the enviornment. Work with farm animals and others and watching them suffer from the heat and Bugs is horrible. No real relief. But at least I do not live in Australia! I feel sincere empathy for those that do. Waiting for November!!!

i live in missouri in the US. it is hot, humid and miserable here in the summer. i hate summer so much. i take prozac, which makes you more heat sensitive. going outside makes it hard to breathe. i hate being sticky and sweaty. it’s impossible to stay neat and clean. my make up runs, i hate the outdoors, i could go on and on whining. winter is so beautiful, especially when it snows. i love dark days when that damned sun keeps to itself. it appeals to the drama queen in me. i love the clothes, i love christmas, everything except driving on the ice. winter, beautiful winter, hurry!

Wow! Other folks who hate summer as much as I do!! This is great!! WHile where I am is no comparison to Australia, Brooklyn, NY can get quite hot and miserable in summer due to all the people, cars and biting bugs (mosquitoes) along with the heavy air on those really hot days. I’ve already had skin cancer on my nose and near my lip, so the beach is not a place I go in summer to cool off. I am virtually a recluse in summer avoiding bad air, heat and bugs. I douse myself with OFF repellent when I venture outside. I am a writer and love to read so spend my time indoors catching up on those activiites. Give me a winter day any time, when you can open the door and feel refreshed rather than hit in the face by a gush of hot stale air. Most people I know enjoy summer, don’t mind or worry about bites or skin cancer. Give me a cup of hot tea with a cozy blanket as it gently snows outside any time!!! I actually prefer the beach in winter!! Fully clothed, of course.

The only place where summer type weather is acceptable or tolerable are vacation places like the Caribbean, South Pacific Islands or the Mediterranean
In these places lazy day day activities and water sports are the norm. If you are not cruising on your yacht in one of these places, but working, living and commuting in a city such as Brooklyn, NY, you are up the creek and summer is a living hell! Brooklyn, NY was named “the most paved over city in the U.S.” Yuk! This place is so over crowded and the unregulated construcion which leaves no green space is disgusting. Nobody is planting any trees when they build these awful new houses. I feel as if I ama pizza in a brick oven. This place is so overwhelmingly horrible that I am becoming claustrophobic. Summer intensifies all of the horrors of living here. There are idiots here that complain when it rains. I pray for rain everyday to freshen the air in this stinking place. The summer here is hell on earth and talk about humidity. The NYC subway system stinks more in the summer and the commute to Manhattan is hellish. Manhattan is a horror in and I can never understand why there are tourists here ever, let alone in the summer months.
Anyone that says that they love the summer deserves to be exiled to Death Valley or some other desert for eternity. I hate summer. I detest summer. I loathe summer. I am planning to relocate to the Pacific Northwest and I cannot wait!

I hate summer. I hate it so much I decided to get on line to see if any one else does too. It’s a releif to see that I’m not alone.
I live in southern California and I dread the approach of June and July. It gets humid and stinky and noisy. The people begin to drive much more aggressively for some stupid reason and they crank up their car stereos real loud. What is it with the heat of summer and noise? Everyone goes to the beach to stink it up with their lotions and perfumes. The air gets so bad by August that I get headaches weekly, I get tired and don’t begin to feel normal until the sun goes down. The winters go by so fast and the summers seem to never end. It sucks!
I’m probably going to move back to Wash. state someday. The thing that I don’t get is that everyone around here seems to just love the weather. Bad air, half naked drunk idiots, loud speeding cars, humid nights, Yuck! Other than that I’m a pretty positive person….

Posting from Michigan – I absolutely HATE summer as well. It is totally overrated, and seems mostly pushed by past generations of people that felt inferior if they didn’t fry themselves to a crisp in the sun. While I do think that many do truly like it, I also think that huge sums of people like it just because of friends/family/television/radio telling them how great it is – monkey see, monkey do.
The oven-like heat, the bugs, the gross sweating, the nausea-inducing/skin-cancer causing intense sun….f*ck that. Give me Fall, early or late Winter, or Spring, as they are all far more preferable to Summer.

Well, I haven’t a clue what a sunburn feels like. However, I hate summer just the same. Give me a harsh winter that kills off all of the malaria carrying nasties any day of the year. Think about the horrible monstrous fauna which inhabit areas with a summer-like climate year long; snakes, scorpions, parasites of every stripe, alligators, africanized honey bees (read: killer bees) etc. The list is virtually endless. And there there is the oppressive combination of heat and humidity. It sucks the life right out of me.
I live in Michigan, so the temperature will take a welcome nose dive in a couple of weeks. Still, I live in dread of the 3 months of hell next year from June through August. As god is my witness, I will emigrate to Montréal, where winter is 9 months long and summer is a myth akin to Sasquatch honest politicians.

Hi guys I wrote before on how me and my friend lived in hell(adelaide, south australia), Well we did it we escaped the treturious skanky lizards and psychotic heat lovers for a betere life in Tasmania Australia……….We just laugh when we see the weather report in Hell its starting already to become summer there he he hee! and where we are its nice and warm and frezing nights…….I left Hell and nevere returning!!! yeay I just love WINTER its great and for the first time we live in a capital city that has snow on its mountains all the time….went there the other day playing in that fresh cold sweet snow…..The best thing that the Gods ever made…beats the bugs stiffling putrid stenching foul aniliating sufficating heat any day…I wont miss Hell and hope never too return again only when a relative has died(probably from the HEAT)…….ROLL ON WINTER!!!!!
You can breathe when its cold, no pollen,no skanky lizardsgirls with spray on orange tan and platinium white straighten hair with there underwear out in public and there complaining attitude when you say “your cute”…Don’t tell me about the beach…In HELL its a cure all for every known mans diseases eg.cancer,rabies bite,tetanis etc….We WINTER-LOVERS SHOULD STICK TOGETHER AND BANISH SUMMER FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KEEP COLD AND REFRESH MY FRIENDS IN THE SNOW!!!!!
