I like summer. I also don't have to exist outside during the hottest part of the day though.

The cradle of humankind is generally though to be northern Africa.
We may have adapted to surviving in cold climates but that's not where our roots are.

You believe northern Africa always had the same climate?

Nordics have definitely evolved for cold weather. Most whites and Asians evolved white skin to help synthesize vitamin D from scarce sunlight. Africans evolved dark skin to avoid synthesizing too much vitamin D, which can be toxic.

9 grey months a year, will make you miss the summer, then you you get 3 weeks of it if you're lucky, and then back to the monotone grey, it's not about love, it's about my human need to see other colours

I live on the Chesapeake Bay so I love Summer.

I grew up in the tropics and currently reside in a fairly cold place.

I prefer European summers and tropical winters

September & October are my favorite months.

Winter is pretty good too.

Summer meh.

They all have their benefits and drawbacks. I only dislike mud season at the end of winter.

Wait, what about Christmas? Didn’t they get that off?

I was homeschooled and lived in Alabama growing up. I didn't get summers off, and they were unbearably hot. I honestly kinda hated the summer. But as an adult? I fucking love summer.

You think they made summer a break from school, so that kids and teachers don't have to suffer working with that shit?
