40 degrees and more. In other words: yay, we’re going to die!
I always give blank stares and shake my head in disbelief when people tell me how much they love summer. For me, it’s the worst season of the year. Heat, heat, heat, heat and more heat. I understand that it is perfectly bearable in countries where summer temperature is what we already have in May and what we have during the nights in June, July and August (if we’re lucky, that is); but I seriously don’t understand how someone can praise temperatures from 30 to 35, dangerous ultraviolet rays, sweaty and smelly people everywhere, way too many barely dressed young girls showing too much of their, very often unnaturally tanned bodies (redlight special: butt cracks peeping out of way-too-low cut clothes…eww) and way too many barely dressed old men showing too much of their bodily hair. Not to mention food defrosting, drinks getting warm after a couple of minutes, natural cosmetics rottening. Summer? Nooo, thanks. Only if I could spend it in some nice place outside, perhaps. But that would be too crowded. I don’t know. I don’t like summer and it’s a fact.
Actually, a temperature of 30-35 degrees Celsius would be acceptable right now. Why? Because the termomether on our balcony now says it’s forty five degrees. Weather reports say it’s 42, it was 43 earlier today and it definitely was 45 on Sunday, the day when Mira said it was 52 in her street.
Seeing that it’s 17 degrees in Ireland, 22 in England, France and Czech Republic and that the only worse countries in terms of temperature than us know are Iraq, United Arab Emirates Syria and Saudi Arabia, I don’t know what to think. Ummm…hello? This is Europe. It’s not a middle-east desert country, we have trees, rivers and all those nice things.
They say the sky will be particularly cloudy tomorrow, that there’s a chance of a rainshower as well. Temperature? Pure heaven compared to this: 16 degrees during the night and 29 degrees at the “worst” point during the day. They also say that many people might have health problems because of such a huge change. I’m going to have a health problem too: I’ll go hysteric from happiness if it happens.
And then people ask me why I’d move to Antartica…bleh.

I’m with you. I effing hate the summer and also give blank stares to people who say they love it. I live in the Mojave Desert in California. The last few days it’s been like 110 and 113 so it’s too hot. I want the winter to be here.

I’m not too sure how I happened to stumble accross your website, but your thoughts are pretty close to my own! I laughed out loud when you described why you dislike summer. I’ve used the same reasons to explain it so many times! Plus the fact that the sun hates my skin tone and is determined to make it different per section of my face!
I only just read your blog, but I *had* to comment. So, I’ll be poking my nose into the rest of your content like the nosy visitor I am.

Yeaha Iva is back *jumps around*
I had such a strange dream the day before yesterday – I went to Serbia and met you in a flooded swimming pool. You told me this kind of flood was normal because of the radical changing of climate in Beograd p.e. the heat etc. and then you took me and my friend to your house to save us from drowning. and guess what your room was made of Lush Bars and Ballistics – yes i have to admit i slightly frighten myself
by the way I totally agree to the things you said about summer – that season should be abolished

Did you get my e-mail Iva or are you just ignoring me for some reason?

In England it has been the complete opposite – the weather has been very cold and rainy over the past 2 months or so. In some areas (such as the North and the South-West, hundreds of miles from where I live) there has been severe flooding. It’s got warmer over the past couple of days, but I can’t imagine what it must be like to be over 40 degrees; I would find that unbearable.

Finally, it seems that those nightmare temperatures are over for this summer. In fact, today, it all looks like an autumn day. But I’m definitely with you, I hate summer, especially, this year.
Btw, thanks for stopping by at my blog

Hi IVA,
Still interested in sponsorship?
