Discussion Anyone else hate warm weather?

[locked*n*loaded]

Opposite for me. I need warm weather. I have hypothyroidism and cool or cold weather doesn't work for me very well. It's actually kind of brutal on me.

 

[jb.fletcher]

Agree, summer is gross. To hot and sweaty. I live in the Midwest, so thankfully summer isn't that long. I prefer Spring and Fall. Hoodies and the fire pit is great

 

[cemeteryismyhome]

YES YES YES. I love this forum. I hate hot weather (mostly). I hate that people are expected to have fun. The sun stings my eyes and my skin. I hate people walking around looking stupid in ugly clothes. I hate the bugs flying around and having to mow the lawn that i don't even want. The reason I say "mostly" hate, is because, now that I'm older (thankfully death is inevitable) the warmth feels kind of good on my bones. I can mow the lawn and not feel hot, which is actually dangerous and is how old people die sometimes, they sit in their homes with the windows shut and feel fine until they pass out and die from the heat. If I lived alone I would try that.

I hate cold weather, I hate winter, dressing in multiple layers, starting a cold car, not being able to do shit but rot in the house. I'm very happy that's it's starting to get warmer. 60F-75F is my comfort zone. I don't mine it getting up to the mid 80s, but I live in a humid state so it's not like going outside is gonna kill me. Just sweaty. I do however HATE the insects and allergies summer brings.

I'll take those temps! That is beautiful weather! Sometimes here the 50s are wonderful too! 80s though a bit much, mostly due to humidity. It can be suffocating- not like Missouri or Texas, but just makes you feel yucky physically. But I'll take some good sunshine after a long winter. Sometimes you are over a season and are ready for the next one!

Exactly, winter lasts so long in the Midwest by the time it's Christmas I am absolutely over it. I don't mind the 50s, perfect outfit weather. Sleeping in the summer with no aircon blows though, this might be the year I break down and buy one...

Yeah, no air sucks. Kinda why I like spring and fall. I can just open the windows and it's all good. Plus I feel like winter has been stretching further into April and sometimes May now. I'll take December snow if it means spring by March

 

[jbdCkFqV]

In addition to summer, spring is also a bit much. You can sense the energy and life in the air—it's very overwhelming and clashes with the cozy feeling I've built up all winter.

I prefer weathers this way: cool then warm then cold then hot.
Hot is always bad for me, I don't want to burn.

Mmm... Since I feel slightly warmer than the average person in my household (but probably feel similar to the average person outside my house), I am kinda curious how to lower thyroid hormone sometimes... tho when hot, having a water bottle and carefully applying water acts faster.

Do thyroid medications help?

Spoiler: Updates to my earlier post on temperature

PS: In a previous post I mentioned 17-19C as ok with jumper and blanket, correction, ~16-18C (tho maybe slightly different sheets influenced it, idk)
20-22C is the transition temp between jumper and no jumper
think 13-16C is ok completely under blanket (depending on position), tho under blanket temp is probably 21-24C or so with higher and lower spots.
Not sure about temps below 13C... tho 9C was quite chilly outside, with a slightly thick jumper... should have brought my blanket outside for the 5:30-6:10am discord vc / screenshare (went out to avoid waking up ppl and getting disrupted)... going under that might've given reasonable temps

Do they help me? As far as "normalizing" how I feel in cold temps, not so much, at least not that I've noticed.

 

[unluckysadness]

i hate warm weather. it's not good with my medication (benzos) and i often feel dizzy even when it's not warm

I wonder if it could also be circulation issues or similar.

Idk. I've been seen/checked out/tested by a doctor. I do have fairly extreme hypothyroidism, though.

hopefully you are able to feel comfortable, even if it takes extra jumpers or smth

I stay inside in the cold weather.

How old do I have to be for the sun to start feeling good on my bones.
It's so unbearably hot. I can't imagine enjoying it ever.
I agree with everything else. It's not fun for me. I'm very white It's like dracula being out in the sun.

YES

I'm a sad, sweaty mf during summer. I'd rather freeze to death than of heatstroke.

I love cold weather. I wish I could live up north than where I am now. It's only cold during winter and early spring. Other than that it's hot asf. There is no autumn

Anything over 70° F is too hot. Idc what anybody says.

 

[Catch-22]

I have Babesia, which is similar to malaria, and I've been unable to get rid of it. As a result, my body is in a state of shock from the heat almost 24/7. I need the temperature to be around 62 degrees to feel comfortable; otherwise, I suffer greatly. To be honest, I hate the heat!

 

[Forever Sleep]

I used to but, I hate the cold more now. Especially since my boiler seems about to die and heating is so expensive.

 

[Jona]

I prefer the cold days in winter a thousand times over the hot summer days. You dress properly in winter, then it's ok. In summer, you have to be careful not to get heatstroke or circulatory problems. No thanks

 

[death_bed221]

I hate the summer. Everyone sees my scars and there are way too many people outside. Cant even take a walk in peace.

 

[unluckysadness]

It's very hot here again and my pain is getting worse. I can't take this illness anymore. These fucking muscle spasms are driving me crazy !! God help me please !!

I live on the west coast and wish our summers were shorter. I'm lucky that I live close enough to the beach that most days there is a cooling breeze in the afternoon but there are still time when it can get really hot even well into October.

The downside to short summers means shorter growing windows for gardening, which I enjoy. I can lounge in the hammock as long as it's not extremely hot outside, which this summer has been. Yuck. But on the other hand, I get cold urticaria if I'm outside to long in the winter on my face

 

[lookingglassinsect]

I find heat very hard to bear, it completely clouds my mind. But where I live, it only lasts for about two weeks at most. What really kills me is the lack of sunshine and those heavy, leaden clouds.

Spoiler: a typical view where I live

 

[Nightfoot]

I prefer warm weather to cold, or hot.

 

[QuincyME]

I've always wanted to die in the snow but my last attempt didn't go so well. I tried to OD on Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen roughly 100 grams of it. I also wanted to bleed out because I knew OD'ing will be slow but that's the part I didnt go through it was hard to cut because Im not that good with pain. That day it was supposed to snow but dumb me didnt know the time it'll snow : [ So I had a hundred grams of OTC meds in my stomach and I couldn't cut myself... I had to call 911 in the end I spent 2 days in the hospital AND IT SNOWED WHILE I WAS ON THE HOPSITAL BED. I felt so unlucky it was a nice view but still If it was snowing I guess I wouldve had more motivation.


Now it's summer and I changed my plan to OD on fent but IT'S SUPER SUPER HOT LIKE REALLY HOT AND I HATE IT. I dont want to die in 80 degrees weather :<

Death by hypothermia is one of my preferred methods.

I attempted to CTB this way about 8 months ago in the woods. Chickened out. Really regret that. I was so close to getting deep into the woods with no earthly way of finding my way out.
