[Summer Here? (Warm Spell Discussion)]

Surely everyone's a "heat hater" to some extent?

If it was 30'c in your house in winter, you'd turn the heating down, right?

And no-one can enjoy stifling evenings where you get less sleep due to the heat?

And if you're outside in 30'c, you'd typically be in the shade for large parts of it, right?

22-23'c and sunny is perfect, to say so doesn't make someone a grouchy hermit who draws the curtains during the summer. It's just common sense

Even if that does't make for many "cor what a scorcher!" headlines in the Express, and scenes of beaches where you can't see the sand for pasty, pink, flabby Brits behaving like lemmings

Oh, it's compulsory now?

Why - because you like it everyone else must?

People with kids innit, everyone's off for the summer hols!

except the rest of us benefitting from quiet offices and blissfully empty roads during the commute

my favourite past time is an outdoors pursuit, and it's a fricking nightmare in anything above 22'c

there is nothing good about 30'c, but if you don't embrace it you're probably a reclusive weirdo who may do a murder one day

Theres no beating weather like this for the feel good factor that it brings. Most people are off work so theres no excuse for not getting out there and enjoying it. the upcoming week might be a different story with people back at work and temperatures nudging 30c. But so what, we are overdue some hot summery weather so i say the hotter the better.

I've always been mystified by people saying nice weather has some kind of feel good factor attached. Very tabloidy, herd-like behaviour

Can't say the prospect of 30 degrees at work and 21 at night makes me feel particularly upbeat at all, but then cool and showery doesn't have the associated depressing effect either

Certainly nice to see the sun out and makes planning things easier, but the great british public tend to think that means they need to go out right away and sit in car park queues at garden centres

I guess it comes with having a predominantly showery and cool climate, we're like sun "noobs"

It still isn't snowing in west London!

Oh yes it is !

[Hot In Summer Or Cold In Winter]

I definitely love the heat and sunshine in summer more than anything! Perfect weather for me would be 25-30c in the day and 12-19c at night all summer and then hovering around 15-18c daytime and 5-10c night-time in the winter!!

I think I prefer the sunshine and heat more because I can wear less clothes and just pop some shorts on and t-shirt and i'm good to go!! Maybe I should move somewhere slightly more sub-tropical!

The winter is a pretty depressing time for me, it's cold, damp and grey - not good! It's nice when it's sunny and cold but to be honest, I would rather it was sunny and warm all year round!! I'm definitely in better moods during summer!

Please don't use up all the exclamation marks, there's only so many to go around
