    I live in Arizona. It’s still sunny and over 100 degrees here. Where does this person live, Alaska?

      Are you a bot? Because I too live in Arizona, and I’ve been enjoying all the rain we had last week, and the lovely 95° temps it left behind in its wake. It usually doesn’t drop below 100° until November here, so this early autumn weather is a nice change of pace for once.

    It has redeeming qualities (taken yesterday). Pretty leaves, less intense sun, perfect outdoor temperatures. During fall I can actually enjoy the outdoors tbh.

    I’m digging it. I don’t start getting woken up by by sunlight at 4am unlike the height of summer. Being in coastal northeastern Japan, I really think we need to move the time zone by an hour or two so the sun comes up closer to 5 or 6 in summer.

    I do lament our lack of summer this year. We had the rainiest weather on record in many parts of Japan. Days and weeks without a rainless day.

      This is my go to argument when people say daylight saving is a pain. When I first came to Japan and left a late night bar at 3 to find the sky getting first light I was dismayed. 430 sunrise is far too early.

        Yep. At the height of summer, I can walk around outside at 3ish in my super-countryside area and see well enough to start doing farm work.

          At 3am??? Nightmarish to my brain. 3am is so firmly in the “it is always dark at that hour” I’m not sure what I’d do being confronted with sunrise then. I think sunrise here at its earliest was around 545?

      I think they must have accidentally delivered your summer to the wrong address, Europe. We had temperature records and rivers have been at record lows for months

      Yeah, it seems like not many people get it. Even my fellow depressed friends much prefer the summer. I hate it

        I work outside year round and cloudy weather is THE best- bit cooler in summer and the clouds make it a bit warmer in the winter. Love the clouds!!!

        Not a ray of sunshine coming through, no shape to the clouds, just uniform grayness, no rain even? It feels like the sky is hanging too low and there’s something wrong with your eyes, like you didn’t notice you left your laptop at 25% brightness since last night. For weeks on end. Starting now until December or whenever the first snow comes. If it comes that is.

        It may seem like relief when a too-hot summer is still fresh in your mind, but have you ever even experiened that and still say you love it?

          Yes. It is my ideal weather.

          I am a sweaty yeti though.

          Might explain the preference.

    This is what I hate about New England lately, and it’s only getting worse.

    The summers are too damn hot and the rest of the year is too damn dark.

    Just let us switch to AST (“permanent EDT”). We are too far north and too far east in a timezone that is just too damn big. At least that’ll take care of it being too damn dark. There’ll still be sunlight left when I’m off work.

    I’m sure Wall St. would love to be an hour closer to London, no?

    I was today years old when I realized that we indeed fall into darkness for several months and then spring back into the light.
