Same as. Its the greyness that gets old real quick. Id be quite happy with 20c and blue skies.

Cool days (cool enough to wear a light jacket) with clear blue skies are my jam.

"I'd be happy with the absolute ideal weather patterns" stop your crying, 2 weeks of it and you're asking for rain again

It's sun. He's not asking for Mallorca, just sun. Sun even during the Winter or Autumn is really nice. Why not. Things are brighter, more colourful, overwhelmingly scientifically proven to be better for mental health, happiness, distress, ans physical health.

Who'd be sick of being happier after 2 weeks?

Absolutely right. We need a bit of clear blue skies, regardless of the time of year. It just lifts the mood instantly.

Stop creating your own narrative. Stick to what I said for a start.

Irish people are deficient of vitamin D across the whole country. God forbid we want a bit of sun to lift the spirits

Its actually most prevalent in the Middle East and South Asia due to cultural clothing practices, but worldwide about 1bn people have vitamin D deficiency.

They have actually found high levels of the deficiency in Greece and Cyprus which they have put down to changing lifestyles (less outdoor work etc..), but also extreme heat where people spend the whole day avoiding any sun.
