Obviously this only applies to people in the northern hemisphere, but I guess anybody in the south can just go off their past anecdotes.

Where I live it usually rains from August to December, then snows in January, then rains again from February to mid-May. Right now we’ve been getting highs of 75F (~23C) (yes, go ahead and laugh Arizonans) and I’ve just been dying inside. I have my fan constantly on and my car’s A/C is on literally the coldest temperature. I love the rain here and it hasn’t rained for an actual month. We had one (!) overcast day in the past like 3 weeks. I just really wanna wake up to rain and 45F (~7C) again. I know I’ve only got a month and a half til that starts to become a reality, but it’s just passing by so slowly.

It doesn’t help that I’m pretty far north, so the sun has been setting around 8:30 PM with last light as late as 9:30, and then rising at like 5 in the morning. Honestly my favorite time of year is when I get home from work and the sun has already set.

    I’m not fully there yet since this summer has been more reasonable this year here, but I’m on my way to wishing it would go by quicker.

    Words cannot express how much I hate walking out of the gym after a workout, already pouring sweat, exhausted, and out of breath, into essentially an outdoor sauna, and then into my car with all-black interior that you can’t even breathe when you get in because it’s so hot. Such an all-around awful feeling.

    Also, like you, I really don’t like the super long days. I don’t like the super short days either, but right now it’s still bright out when I go to sleep and it’s annoying. I like having a couple hours where it’s dark before I go to bed as it feels like a nice wind down and perfect for watching TV or gaming without glares on the TV or just my space being lighter than I want.
