    Winter too cold: Oh no, I guess I’ll put on some fuzzy socks and drink some chamomile tea

    Summer too hot: Guess I’ll go to the fuckin ER for heat stroke

      So very true. Dressing for cold is so much easier than heat it’s mindboggling to read some of these summer fan comments. Like, do you guys actually live on the same planet as I do? Cause this one sucks the minute temperatures go past 20c.

        Some folks just tolerate extreme temps differently. I am nearly impervious to heat, but begin hating life below 10C.

          It really depends on the climate you’re used to living in, the winters here are in the -20c range and yesterday it was 41c. I’m basically happy as long as it doesn’t get within 10c of the extremes.

    I like summer. Not when it’s high heat and humidity, but I do like it being light outside after 3:30 PM.

    The fame came from a time where the winters were harsh and summers more bland. We are at the tail end of a mini ice age, now the tendency is to winters been suave and summers become hotter. And, with global warming, things are accelerated.

    No one is talking about autumn? We have splash of color everywhere, Less bugs, comfy clothes, moderate temp and moderate lighting.

    Depends on where you are. Miserable in hotter places I’m sure, but in Sweden it’s quite honestly glorious. Sun up from 03:30 to 22 in Stockholm, and it never quite gets dark. Does wonders for your mood.

    Winter, however, is a cold, dark and wet mess. Truly depressive.

    Spring and autumn are alright, but suffer from just a little bit too much rain.

    Naturally, the climate crisis is making things slightly too warm for comfort now, and we’re going to have to retrofit all homes to withstand heat better before too long.

      “Climate crisis is making things slightly too warm for comfort”

      Oh my. How bothersome.

      I know you didn’t mean it that way, just the understatement had me cackling.

      I know there’s been a campaign for years about seasonal depression, but lack of sleep causes depression too and if it’s only dark for 5.5 hours I’m probably getting about that much sleep and I’m probably waking a few times during it to sigh and turn over. Unless there’s AC and the light is 100% blacked out (not a speck peeking over or around the curtain).

        Blackout curtains are mandatory equipment for any Swedish bedroom, in my opinion. There’s no way to get enough sleep without them. Sleep masks also help if you’re particularly sensitive to light.

        AC is generally speaking not required, as nights are cool and letting in air can provide adequate cooling for all but the hottest days of the year. This is of course a problem for people like me who are allergic to grass pollen, which is active during summer, but I’ve been able to get by mostly with a fan these days.

    Winter you can add layers.

    Summer, there’s only so many layers you can remove before somebody calls the cops

    I mean, summer is different than it was 50 years ago. It’s hotter, longer, and dryer.
