My annual "I hate Summer thread"....

Do you ever notice how the media is never happy with the weather? It either too warm, too cold, too windy, too humid, rains for too long? Your region could be in a drought, then they'd wish for rain. Then its "Aw...too much rain, I wish it would stop (Did they forget about the drought or something?)
Too cold, they want heat. Is anybody ever really happy about their weather?
Well Im certainly not. And Im in So Cal, where the weather is allegedly "perfect". Something to justify an average home price above 1/2 a million dollars.In my opinion, "perfect", would consist of something called seasons. You know, something providing evidence that the Earth actually does navigate around the sun? Like Cold, warming, warmest, cooling? Like 4 seasons?
Its April 12th, and April 11th was 92 degrees. And todays forecast?
SOME OF THE WARMEST VALLEY LOCATIONS COULD SOAR INTO THE UPPER
90S ON SUNDAY...WHILE THE LOWER MOUNTAINS AND ANTELOPE VALLEY WILL
LIKELY REACH THE 90 DEGREE MARK.
TEMPERATURES WILL APPROACH RECORD LEVELS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
SOUTHLAND THIS WEEKEND...WITH A FEW LOCATIONS EXPECTED TO BREAK
RECORDS EACH DAY.

This just tells me, Summer has arrived in So Cal, a couple months early. Call it global warming, call it what ya want...........Summer sucks. I hate the heat, and love everything else......
"Hey Summer, I'll leave the back door open for ya........dont let it hit ya in the ash when ya leave"

Anyway, it's surely better than my climate, cloudy and rainy most of the time..

I'm in So Cal. about 2 miles from the ocean. Lived here 15 years and only complained twice about the heat. I barely use my furnace and do not have AC. My advice is to move closer to the Ocean!

I already miss the snow.

I guess this means I'm a true Buffalonian.

Yeah I know but the air just seems to get trapped in the basin.... nothing like that coastal breeze!!! Even on a 90 degree day being on the coast makes it much more bearable


I was born and raised in Venice (well not born there since there's no hospital, was actually born in Santa Monica).. hence my opinion

Regarding the weather NEVER being what people want IE in the winter saying "It's too cold" and in the summer saying "it's too hot" or when they dont live in a region that snows they "want snow".... perfect example of the grass looking greener on the other side!

Just saw a love bug today There's not too many words in a Southern Autopian's vocabulary that'll strike fear like the afore mentioned devil pest!

Geez, it has been about 20 years since I drove through FL and I still remember stopping to clean those darn things off our windshield so we could see to drive!

Re: My annual "I hate Summer thread"....

Try Palm Springs/Palm Desert in the summer, a nice 120 degrees. I hate the heat, but at least it is a dry heat for the most part. Now, Texas or Florida, man, I could not live there, hot and humid.
