I’m grumpy and if one more person says “this is great isn’t it?” I’m going to scream

    Everyone likes hot weather. But they have their own limits. I love hot weather. I don’t like feeling like a perpetual melting stick of butter.

    If it’s too warm to wear a coat, I suffer from problems with pocket distribution.

    A coat also forms an important layer of psychological armour.

      Cargo shorts! For some reason they are way more acceptable than their longer counterparts.

        I appreciate your enthusiasm, but though helpful in the pocket department (much like the full length trousers equivalent), shorts of any kind really fail on the “psychological armour” element. That’s practically like walking about in your undies.

        This is, for those who don’t, a great option - but I’m already carrying either a “messenger bag” or a small rucksack.

        To put it in different terms, my overall inventory is fine, but the problem is that hot weather causes you to lose all your “quick inventory slots”.

        Imagine any computer game where you store a selection of key items in the quick slots, which you can access with the 1-9 keys. In summer, only the shortcuts 1 and 2 work, and for everything else you have to go in your main inventory, so you keep swapping which items are in 1 and 2, but you have no consistency in what’s under each number, so you’re trying to get your train ticket out, but you end up with your house keys.

    I wouldn’t say I hate it, just more so not a massive fan when it’s hot, give me mild weather instead

    I enjoy it. It improves my mood massively over the constant dark, cooler months. Just throwing on a t-shirt & shorts is a lot more comfortable than throwing on jeans, jumper/hoody etc.

    There is a point where it’s too hot though, probably around 25C, although I can tolerate the heat a lot more in countries like Turkey or Spain.

    I love it, but it makes me feel guilty for wanting to stay indoors on my computer and/or play games.

    I can normally justify my computer habits to myself by saying “well the extra heat is warming up the house too, everyone wins!” but that lie goes right out the window during summer.

    *sigh* guess I’ll go join a gym or something…

    My only issue with the heat is that I work from home and my office is a converted coal shed with a flatroof.

    There’s loads of celutex insulation and it’s warm enough in the Winter with me, my laptop, 2x external monitors and a NAS.

    In the summer though, I just can’t get the heat out of there it’s already 25DegC and we’re not in summer yet.

    Not me, I fucking love it.

    Summer is happiness and possibilities and blue skies and perfect days. Winter is grim, grey, dark, and cold. Summer is life, winter is death.

    I’ve pretty much always felt that way but even more so right now. I’m on just about every single medication the NHS prescribes for high blood pressure and the cocktail of drugs makes me feel cold all the time. Winter is six months of shivering for me, no matter how many layers I put on. This is the first week of the year I haven’t been miserable with cold.

    Yes. At least when it’s cold I can wrap up warm. There’s only so much clothing I can take off before I feel self-conscious
