This will piss you off even more: I genuinely believe that the only thing worse than an average mid-summer day here is the first warm and very sunny day in early spring.
Bright blue skies on fully dead vegetation with zero greenery is deeply unsettling to me. All it does is emphasize how dead and gray the landscape is. If it's going to be warm, it needs to be green and lush. If it's not green and lush, then it needs to be cold and cloudy so it's cozy.
It'd also be nice if we actually had clouds over the summer. And a good breeze as well. Like... At least a couple. But nope. It's just endless blue sky for weeks on end in July. Completely stagnant, no breeze. Sun angles right at you.
The redeeming factor of our summers is that it stays relatively mild. Nice outdoor weather for the most part. Pretty rare to get into the 90s. 80s used to be rare but not so much these days.
