I love summer, but this does kind of make sense. I live in Korea, where they have a long winter break (Christmas until March) from school. People here seem to love winter, which is usually absolutely frigid and miserable.

“Hot take” - lol. Sorry, couldn’t help but giggle at the dad joke..

My wife works for the schools and still has summer off. I have two kids in high school and one in college. All summer off. I hate summer. I'm going snow camping the week after Christmas though. Without them.

Depends a lot on the climate. I hated summer in Hungary with 3 months of 30-39°C days, now in Scotland, where it barely goes over 20°C for a couple weeks / year, I cherish every sunny day.

Fall is peak, we just hated it because it meant we were back to school. By far the best weather and plenty of holidays.

what it feels liek to come here as someone who likes summer...

(please, it is all in good fun, i understand how different people enjoy/suffer temperatures differently)

Sunbelt here:

I legitimately loathe any temperature <23°. At 20° I’m too uncomfortable to be outside without layers. I’d prefer to do nearly everything outside if feasible, and really enjoy nature. I also hate rain during the colder months.

I’m legitimately glad that people have options, but I think the population growth of the southwest shows where people are partial to the weather 😝

Depends on where you live. Summer in Minnesota is probably nice, no snow and lots of lakes to swim in. Summer in Perth is a life-threatening couple of months.

...is it common for people in the northern hemisphere to not get time off school during winter?

10ish years ago I would have said Summer is the best but Spring and Autumn are close contendente. With winters being only ok because of the snow.

Nowadays I still say summer is best but spring and autumn are gone (replaced by alternating weeks of summer and weeks of winter) and winter is just dark, wet and too cold to be enjoyable but not cold enough to have snow.

And also summers used to be like 30°C max if it was hot, maybe a little warmer, now if we get a week of summer that is 30°C max we consider it a cool summer because on average the max day temperature hangs at around 38~40°C.

Propaganda put out by big winter!

The cradle of humankind is generally though to be northern Africa.
We may have adapted to surviving in cold climates but that's not where our roots are.

September & October are my favorite months.

Winter is pretty good too.

Summer meh.

Huh. Summer's my favorite. Our summers are wonderful where I live. In fact it's the only season I enjoy at all, which in itself is a bit of a bummer.

9 grey months a year, will make you miss the summer, then you you get 3 weeks of it if you're lucky, and then back to the monotone grey, it's not about love, it's about my human need to see other colours

I'm not a fan of too much heat either, but honestly, where I live, it's not even that bad most summers. It's the darkness around christmas that's the worst. The 3 weeks before and the 3 weeks after specifically.
Spring and autumn are my favorites for sure, and spring is generally better because it rains less. There's something cleansing about that season.
