Whenever the weather is sunny, it makes it much more difficult for me to find motivation to go outside and do things. I hate the bright sun in my eyes. I also hate how the heat gets trapped in vehicles when the sun shines into them, making them less pleasant to be in.
On the other hand, the cloudy days are a lot more relaxing, and result in cooler temperatures that are more pleasant to exist in and don’t wear me down. The light is much more even when the sun isn’t in the way, eliminating the need for sunglasses.
Sure, the sun helps you make Vitamin D, but we have food and supplements. If Mr. Blue Sky by ELO is really the happiest song, it should be about cloudy days. :P Don’t make me a deity in charge of the weather unless you want cloudy days for the rest of your life.
As a person living in the PNW I could not disagree more. I have sensory issues, especially with bright light so I live in sunnies and hats but once you live where it’s almost always overcast or worse you learn gratitude for the sun
Funny, as a person living in the PNW myself I couldn’t agree more with OP. Those couple months we get of blazing heat (80°F, 27°C) are just the worst to me.
The only part of summer I enjoy is the effect it has on fashion choices.
I don’t even consider 80 hot!
wait. you think of 80F as blazing heat!!!
It’s what I get for growing up here.
