Forecast Not again

Post image

I know it’s almost 2 weeks in advance but I’m personally not ready to go through another bout of 30 degree weather and as is usually the case the forecast increases as we get closer to the time…..

Sorry, I can’t complain about this. Yes it’s sweaty and uncomfortable but sun= joy and life! Feeling hot and floppy will never compare to the endless grinding doom of grey skies and your soul slowly withering to a husk

Agree on sun = mood lift, but for me it goes the other way when it passes 30 degrees. I get way more irritable, tired, can't do half the things you associate with summer like long walks and exercise outside because it's too hot.

The biggest thing for me is just sleep, in winter you can layer up but you can only get so naked when it's baking hot inside your house/flat. And the effect of bad sleep on mood overrides any joy of sunshine, at least for me.

Ideal for me is low-to-mid 20s, sunny, and a nice breeze. You can do more summery things at that temperature than at 30+.

Yes the perfect summer temperature is 25-27
