As someone from the south I was 100% for this, but now I live in the north and I can kinda see it. But I'll never forgive summer for being a hot and humid bastard for most of my life.

I like heat under my own circumstances, summer is definitely not one of them
❌hot girl summer
✅cold bitch winter
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.
You'd have to go back to the 19th century for those non-fossil carbon dioxide variations to matter.
The notion of nice summers is way older than that, probably.
It’s all situational. If it’s hot and humid but I’m near a beach, fuck yes, summer rules. If it’s hot and humid and I’m in a big city, dear lord help me, summer sucks.

All 4 seasons are the worst season
4 seasons
Lol, what year is it, 2005?
You will have two seasons and you will like it!
As someone who loves hotter days, hard disagree.
I heard there's 104 days of summer vacation, til school comes along just to end it.
That's a lot of days. It's hard for us all to find a good way to spend it.
more like 104° days until summer ends
I mean, summer is different than it was 50 years ago. It's hotter, longer, and dryer.
Less rain but more humidity
And I don't get to stop going to work every day.
What does PR stand for in this instance?
Public relations.
Portia de Rossi
It'll only get hotter and more days in the year will reach these temperature so get used to it
For a certain definition of PR, this is true. Most of the cultural associations of the seasons come from 'classic' literature, most of which, in the English-speaking world, came from England and New England. How many places in the Southern US actually get a leaf colour change in fall? The cultural touchstones defining the associations of seasons were written in places where the winters are dreary and cold and summers are a bit hot sometimes but not usually too horrible, and certainly not likely to kill you. Try telling someone living in the South of the US that summer is the best season, see how many warning shots they fire past your nose.
I've lived in the south. I'll take the 100+F days with high humidity. You know why? Because the heat doesn't hurt. It will make you uncomfortable as fuck because of sweat and lethargy, you might get a sunburn, which hurts later, and it can kill you over time, but it doesn't hurt. Cold fucking hurts like a bitch. In the summer, I can finish mucking the horse stalls and herding the cows, then head inside and take a shower. Instantly all the uncomfortable heat and its byproduct of sweat/grime is gone. The AC and a little air movement make the heat dissipate in moments. In the winter, I have to head inside and sit by the fireplace or in the shower/bath until the warmth actually makes it down to my bones, because they are aching from the cold, and that can take bloody hours.
Spring is obviously still the best season, but summer is far from the worst.
No one is talking about autumn? We have splash of color everywhere, Less bugs, comfy clothes, moderate temp and moderate lighting.

I agree, but at the same time, I wouldn't give up having the contrast between seasons for anything. You need that 92 degrees with 80% humidity to really appreciate the cool down after a thunderstorm. And my absolute favorite time of year is that first chilly week in September that let's you know the heat is behind you--but the frigid cold is on the way.
All things in balance and moderation...
Yeah, I'd argue the real problem is that each season is too damn long. Cut them in half and I won't have time to get bored with them.
80% humidity
As a Houstonian, sincerely,
Laugh all you want, at least we don't live in Texas.
Fully agree
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

I only liked it because I was off. Otherwise, I've always hated summer. I used to dream of having a fall or winter vacation instead. I didn't have AC at home or at school growing up, so if I was going to be uncomfortable, just let me go back. I want to go to the zoo on a nice fall afternoon, not the second coming of Satan's asshole.
It didn't used to be as bad as it is today a short while ago. It will continue to be worser for the rest of our lives.
People only say summer is good because we used to get 2 months off during it

Idk, I like summer here in Poland.
Winter fans be like: i love winter but I'm never going to go outside and I'll stay inside in my conditioned home
The last time we had a really solid snow here, which was years ago, I went outside and made a pile of snow and laid on it for about an hour while it was actively snowing. I loved every second of it. Meanwhile all of my summer loving relatives stayed inside and complained for the 4 days that the snow lasted. They couldn't even handle 4 days of weather they didn't like. I live with it year round most years.
