Lurker Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I love winter, mostly because I hate summer. I get dizzy and headachey and sunburnt if I go outside; I can't sleep when it's hot; I fear bushfires. I hate air conditioning too - I like it better than the lack of it, but I'm always happiest if I can just open the windows. Autumn is my jam. Fucking love autumn. Beautiful to look at, neither hot nor cold, or it's the good kind of cold that you can put on snuggly clothes for and enjoy. Spring is hayfever and nothing redeems that. Winter I can tolerate except for incredibly wet days, but my life is pretty indoorsy so even that doesn't present a huge problem. Plus Australian winter isn't even cold! I'm in Melbourne but it's not like it's Montreal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laridae Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I definitely like summer more than winter. Hate being cold all the time, I freeze and cant warm up without a hot shower. But the clear sunny days in winter are nice. Spring is always so windy, summer is nice (though I'd actually like it to be warmer - I'm in Tas, there aren't that many hot days!). Autumn is usually nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little lion Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Winter sucks when you wake up in the dark and come home in the dark. It is too cold to swim. The heater makes me feel all dried out like a sultana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 Yuck. This can't be over soon enough IMO! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley225 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I love autumn, but this year we went straight to winter and a cold one. I've retired and i'm finding it hard to do anything because i don't want to get out of bed and my house if freezing (in one end) so i huddle over a blowy heater and snooze. My house is also dark and once the sun goes down i don't feel like doing anything. Very few hours of sunlight. I've had to buy more socks, my feet are always freezing, the rest of me can cope. Need to get out of the house more - out today for a while and the sun was actually out. Felt much more energetic when i got home. Trying to finalise unpacking after a year.

Pigeonpairplusone Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Used to hate it when I lived in Adelaide, it would make me feel miserable. These days I love it as I’m in Qld. No humidity, fresh mornings & beautiful mild blue sky days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyMum2 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Having grown up in the Northeast of England, I would never complain about an Australian winter. I have never encountered anything here as miserable as an English winter. I do however complain endlessly about summer where I live it rarely gets below 30 and often hits 40. It is intolerable. I hate aircon as well but there's no other choice when it gets to 40. Even on a day mild enough to be outside, you're annoyed by flies all day long and mosquitoes as soon as soon as it starts getting dark. But the winters are fresh and sunny (mostly) and usually still mid-teens during the day. No insects, no bushfire smoke, no sweating whilst doing absolutely nothing, no reapplying suncream to yourself and kids 20 times a day. Winter over summer any day. But autumn is best, followed by spring, then winter, summer is a distant 4th 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chocolate Addict Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I love any season except summer. I hate hot weather, I don't like the beach or swimming pools or getting a tan If it is hot you can't get cool without an air conditioner, in winter, you put a jumper on or curl up under a blanket. My perfect weather would be around 20 - 25C all year round 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
