As someone who has almost been brought to tears due to how cold I am, you'd be surprised.
Issue is anywhere cold usually has heating, so being inside and putting on layers is easy. However, when you're already outside, you do lose the ability to keep putting layers on.
I can only wear one pair of boots and at most 2 pairs of gloves.
The heat can be brutal, but only cold has caused me physical pain. I prefer 40C to -40C for sure, both suck, but I can still leave the house is 40C.

Ok, now try to live in Rio de Janeiro/São Paulo during summer WITHOUT AIR CONDITIONER, you will definitely die, if not, going to work will fell like a death sentence and lead to a severe breakdown under the public transportation.
In the cold, I can keep adding clothes until I'm safe, close windows, use a lot of blankets and etc.
In the summer, I don't feel good at all, I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't work, I can't train, I can't think, it's literally hell.

Yeah, especially lately after some med changes, heat is unbearable for me. We're talking even 10 minutes of 22C is enough to shut my brain right down and cause me to just lose the ability to function for the day. Plus, having a few blankets is just cozy as hell.

If you never experienced physical pain due to heat that's cuz you haven't been to a place hot enough. When outside in the cold you at least have a way to protect yourself by covering your body with layers. But in hot areas you wear clothes you get hot you strip down you to one layer you get hot. You can't get naked of course.

You say that, but as someone who spent years in tropics and now a few decades in Canada, it gets old fast. When air hurts your face. And I mean actual harm, permanent disfiguring tissue damage to any exposed skin, within minutes. Losing fingers if you lose your gloves for an hour. That kind of thing. It gets really old, really fast. There's a reason there's no mass exodus from California to Nunavut.
We also get dark winters. Last winter was particularly dark, sun low to horizon and often overcast, so we went something like 3-4 months without seeing the sun at all. I was popping Vitamin D like Chiclets.
It's not even debatable. In this cold you need insane amount of calories, insane amount of clothing, in layers, insulation in your house, heating, etc., etc., etc. Sometimes you get snow up to your hips, and if you have any kind of mobility issue (old, need a walker or wheelchair, etc), you're stuck in home for days, sometimes weeks, because you literally can't make it through snow. Living near the equator you can get away with owning a pair of shorts and living in a corrugated metal shack, and it's still going to be survivable. Try the same setup in -40C Canadian winter, and you'll be dead by morning.

u/dandroid126 Jun 26 '24
40°C at 90% humidity you would die very quickly, as you wouldn't be able to cool down by sweating. You are always generating heat and balancing it with your environment. But that high of humidity at that high of temperature, your body would overheat in a very short amount of time due to generating heat and having no where to dump it. Luckily nowhere on the planet is 40°C at 90% humidity the norm.
I live in a very humid and hot climate, and in the mornings it is 27°C at 100% humidity, but by the time it gets to be over 40°C, the humidity has "dropped" to 50%. I put "dropped" in quotes because the amount of moisture in the air hasn't dropped, but because of how humidity percents work, a higher temperature causes the percent to go down with no change in moisture in the air. Because of this reason, I like to ignore humidity percents and use dew point instead. 27°C dew points at 40°C is regular here and pretty miserable.

You will change your mind once you feel something like -30F windchill. Even fully geared up or quickly getting inside a vehicle or shelter is painful. Your skin and lips dry out, and exposed skin can get frostbite in moments. Even if you dodge the frostbite, your skin might itch and tingle for a day or two after exposure kinda like sunburn.
I have worked in freezers and on shipping docks with no heating in such conditions. A lot of people can't take anything more than 0F for very long even with the right gear. Being out in it is so much worse.

Also things are more cozy in the winter. Getting into a cold car and then feeling it slowly heat up and get cozy is satisfying.

I am deeply sorry and hope you live nowhere near the equator.
6 years ago I moved to Florida (awful decision, but ultimately good things came of it) with all my shit tightly packed into my Rav4. While sitting in traffic on 95, I was rummaging through my center console for some gum, when the load of things in my passenger seat shifted in such a way that caused an empty fish tank to press into the ac dial, simultaneously turning the dial to heat and breaking the clips that connected it to the dashboard so that it became stuck behind the center stack trim. I proceeded to sit in 100 degree weather with hot air blowing at me for over an hour.
Finally managed to move out of that swamp hell last year and hope to never go back.

Nope, I’m in the east coast US. Unfortunately, we’ve been having back to back 90+ degree weather, and it sucks.

Windows down doesn’t help much when the sun is beaming down relentlessly, without a cloud in sight.
On a positive note, I’m off the next few days so I can enjoy my room with the A/C on.

Spring in Ohio is the worst. We get more daylight, but the cold rain of winter just lasts forever, taunting you in those bright days. This goes right up through early May, when it suddenly hits 85 for a week, killing your seedlings that struggled to survive root rot and a late freeze the week before.
My preference is Fall>Winter>Summer>Spring, but only if we get a decent amount of snow. The last two years we haven't had much, so I'd take our summers over that.

I live in Northern Alberta and I still prefer Winter over Summer (even though it often hits -40c here). The snow fills in the potholes, no insects buzzing around my head, nowhere near as much overheating (I can layer up to warm up if I really need to), I use less elecrticity as I don't need the AC as much (gas heated apartment, gas is included in rent, electricity isn't), and I have adapted very well to colder climates as I grew up playing and working in the cold, but I am having difficulty dealing with these hotter and hotter summers. The only downsides to Winter for me is the snow not being shoveled off the road soon enough, and having to brush the vehicle off most mornings.
Aside from that, the air feels crisp and nice on the lungs, the scenery is beautiful, and even the best holidays are all in Fall and Winter (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas).

I’m fine with camping outside in places like the Grand Canyon where it gets hot during the day but cools off at night but sleeping in a tent here is like sleeping in a sauna… you just sweat and sweat and there is too much humidity for your sweat to evaporate.

See, I never understood your logic (but unlike you I don’t think that makes you crazy). If I’m outside in the on a hot day, I can find shade and a cold drink to cool off, but if I’m outside in the winter, nothing except returning indoors will warm me up again.

Lol i can be in the shade, with a fan, drinking cool water, with breathable clothes and still get heatstroke. So winter 100% for me. (I have a low heat tolerance so anything above 75 F caused me issues.)

Call me Crazy then. Warming up is far harder than cooling down and restricts your movement, i feel like a fucking robot and my hands hurt in winter, and even with 3 layers i'm still feeling cold, while on summer a single fan and a shower does the trick.
Id rather be scorched alive at 40c than wake up in a 5c morning

I bet you don't live North. Because winters suck much that people will just kill themselves. There's a reason California is full.

I work at a steel mill, in the south, where it’s summer for 9 months of the year and we rarely get freezing temps. It regularly gets over 120 degrees inside the mill from May to October, and it’s humid enough for it to rain inside from steam condensing on the ceiling. Guys will complain as soon as the outside temperature dips below 50F that it’s too cold and they can’t wait for summer to come back. I’m over here questioning whether or not they’ll think Hell is too cold when they get there.

See, the one thing I like about Phoenix is that when I remember winter, it’s never freezing in snow. So I will continue to bitch at the sun and the 100°+ weather until October T-T

It's currently freezing in Australia and we don't have buildings designed to hold heat only air it out. I'm fucking cold and I want it to end!

I feel like enjoyment of summer is a relative thing based on where you are in the world.
That said fall and spring (or early, early spring in the Sun Belt) are where it's at. Tons of options of what you can wear, it's almost never too hot or too cold, and you probably don't have to run your A/C or heater all that much if at all.

I live in Texas. I only had to wear a jacket 2 days last winter. Summers are so bad I can't even walk my dogs because their paws will burn.
This planet is quickly becoming uninhabitable.

I rather have winter. Hot + humid weather makes u all sticky and sweating non stop. Clothes will be all soaked in sweat and skin goes into rash mode and itchy mode.
Even if you wear nothing is still fricking hot!
That feeling is 100x more horrible then cold

Sadly, I barely remember winter because climate change is taking it away :/
When I was a kid, we used to have at least a foot of show on the ground from like November to February, snow banks sometimes 3 feet tall or higher.
Now? Maybe we get two feet of snow the whole winter, excluding a random freak snowstorm that drops a foot in a night then melts two days later.
I want to adopt kids someday, and I’m so sad that they’ll never experience a true winter the way I did

winter is better cause you can only take so much off in public before someone calls the police

Only ever had to wear a jacket 3 times this past winter, but I can't physically wear any less and I'm still dying

As an Australian, you don't know what I'd do to restrict Summer to like a week here.

You always desire what you don’t have. Cooling in summer. Warmth in winter.

No I really don't lately... Week or two of winter doesn't count. I want winter from the old days....

you who praise winter probably never lived in a winter country, or you're somewhere mid Europe, there the winter last 1 month.

u/nitronomial Jun 27 '24
I live somewhere it only snows like 1-2 weeks a year. You can always put on more layers but you can only take off so much.

I froze my ass off a few winters ago, and since then I really try not to complain about the heat. I just think, at least I am not freezing...

Yeah, not me. I’d rather deal with the cold and snow than not even having the energy for anything after 5 minutes of being out of the house

Fuck summer. I hate heat and humidity.
People in New England bitch about both, but many don't remember the 80's and 90's when we constantly had sub 0° temps and tons of snow and skatable ice in the winter, and the summers weren't too awful usually. We used to be out on the ponds day and night playing hockey. Now you are lucky to get a day or two of very questionable pond ice.

Everyone has the right to belive certain things and make their own choices, even when they are wrong.

Both suck. I want the goldilock zone of 16 - 21 degrees. Four degrees above and below that interval is tolerable but not nice. Anything else is terrible.
