Top 10 Worst Things About Summer
Even in London, the heat is unbearable in summer! We don't have mosquitoes or venomous spiders, thankfully, but even the harmless flies and wasps are annoying enough.
Why do people go to places that are even hotter?! It's just plain stupid! Why would you escape the London heat by going somewhere like Texas or India?! If you want to go somewhere like that, go in the winter (assuming you're both in the same hemisphere). The cold is the lesser of two evils, so it's logically better to go somewhere cooler!
Spanish for "small fly," mosquitoes are insects that have been known to cause various diseases. A sample of diseases caused by mosquitoes: malaria, yellow fever, Chikungunya, West Nile virus, dengue fever, filariasis, Zika virus. Yes, this is one of the worst things about summer because, at my cottage in the summertime, they fly around me, leave itchy bites on me that make me scratch for a very long time, and they make that irritating buzz! They are the most irritating insects in the summertime!
I hate them because they love summer, and it's terrible. They can cause diseases. They should die due to their blood-sucking abilities. Can't they leave us alone? We can't go back to school getting bug bites everywhere.
I am scared because I have no idea if I am allergic. I'm just terrified. I just wanted to say that. If you are allergic, good luck in the summer.
These insects are my worst nightmare, and in my city, they usually start coming in mid-August and don't disappear until the beginning of October.
Here in the UK, they are so small, and their stings don't even hurt, but they are still so scary. I can't help but run like a little girl if one is following me.
I've had too many sunburns to even count. People think I'm weird for applying SPF 100 sunscreen and bringing an umbrella outside, but I can't help the fact that I usually burn and am very pale.
I usually get tan in the summer and have tan lines for months, but last month I got a bad sunburn on my legs. After a few weeks, I was left with peeling skin everywhere.
I get sunburned really easily even though I use sunscreen and wear a hat. In 2016, I actually got a bad sunburn ON A CLOUDY DAY! How is that even possible?
Oh no! We have year-round summers in South India. From May 15th to June 10th, the average maximum temperature is 40°Celsius. What's worse? High humidity.
In January, the average maximum temperature is 29°Celsius, and average minimums are 20°Celsius. During peak summer, the minimum temperature can go as high as 30°Celsius. But still, we have only the heat problem. During November to February, my friends and I stay and play outside most of the time.
Sniff... It's 3 days here until it's over, and it's getting colder. Why, Mummy, why? Laugh out loud. I hate all things like weather, but I love thunder and sun!
The BBQs, the paddling pools, the things, but sun cream is just CRAP!
First 2 weeks: It's summer!? HELL YEAH! Let's go eat all kinds of ice cream and watch movies all day!
Pretty much after that: It's summer? Ugh... I'm desperate to do something. Just take me to school already...
That awkward moment when one month is gone, and you realize you just spent half the summer doing nothing!
My typical summer vacations (when I'm not flying):
1% - Day trip to NJ shore, NYC, etc...
4% - Go out to eat/party
6% - Shopping, errands, etc.
90% - Stay home and play on the computer all day
I can't tolerate the sultry, sweaty days of summer.
Or when you're sweaty. I hate sweating a lot!
At least I live in a state where I don't get hurricanes. I feel bad for the people on the coast who have to deal with these stupid storms.
How can mosquitoes be above this? I'm from Washington, a place where hurricanes can't happen, and even I know how horrible they are.
I live in Florida. Granted, we've had good luck with hurricanes for the last few years, but it seems that luck will change soon with Irma.
I'm in honors English, and over the summer, we had to watch a TED Talk, read a book, and write an essay. It was TORTURE!
Why would I want to work on algebra or write an essay when I'm supposed to be enjoying my vacation?
My school always gives us a "summer math packet" to do over the summer, and they also make us read a REALLY boring book and write a book review on it.
I'm also gonna have to be tutored this summer because I have a learning disability.
I hate humidity as an asthma sufferer. The humidity makes it unbearable to breathe sometimes, especially in crowded places like buses, when all the windows are shut. It's awful.
The humidity gets to your lungs and causes an annoying, repetitive, ticklish cough. I hate that.
I really hate humidity. People with asthma struggle to breathe, there is no air around, gnats and insects are everywhere, and you also get frizzy hair and sticky skin. Yuck.
My family goes to Florida for summer vacation every year, and it's very humid. I have curly hair, and it's always frizzy when we go to FL.
The Newcomers
The more rainy or cloudy days, the better. Unfortunately, the burning sun is usually out during the day during the summer.
However, I was lucky enough to see rain in July a few times.
You know something's wrong with the weather where you live when you can't go a SINGLE day in July without rain!
I hate it when it rains because I just want to go outside and have fun, and every time I plan on going swimming, it always rains.
There will always be that one guy staring at your butt if you're wearing shorts or a swimsuit.
I will admit that it can be boring, but I wouldn't want it any other way if it means I don't have to go to school.
It can be boring sometimes. I got bored in the summer a few times.
Who wants to go to school in the summer?! Even my school's first week is in summer. I usually get bored.
Oh my god, yes! Bugs are a LOT WORSE in the summer than they are in other seasons.
Bugs start flying around my house, such as the living room, family room, and near our food. What are they trying to do?! Poison me?!
The worst bug to ever exist. I wish we could get rid of all flies, and the world would be a better place. Flies also deserve a painful death, not just by a swatter. Flies are evil.
I get so annoyed whenever bugs randomly come into my house out of nowhere and fly near my food.
My skin is so pale that I'm basically allergic to the sun. I've accepted the fact that I'm a vampire.
For me, my seasonal allergies are horrible in the spring but aren't as bad in the summer.
Because I have hay fever, summer is unpleasant for me.
I hate summer clothes. It's like people think, Hey, summer's here! Then you see all these overweight, disgusting men with their tops off, and their huge bellies and moobs on display.
Nobody dresses modestly in the summer. It's like everyone just strips off. Some girls walk around in just a pair of shorts and a bikini top in city centers among business people, office workers, shoppers, old people, etc. It's like, put it away - save that for the beach!
Personally, I don't like seeing people (including myself) dress up in summer clothes at all, regardless of age, weight, or anything like that.
Then shove the ice cream in your mouth and get brain freeze.
That's why I eat ice cream during the winter instead.
My cousins always go out nearly every week during the summer, but my sister and I are always stuck at home with nothing to do. Sometimes they do fun stuff that I could've been doing!
They rarely invite us, but when they do, my mom usually says no. As a result, I get bored way too easily during the summer.
All I see at public pools are 2-7 year olds who slide on waterslides meant for children aged 8 and up. The rules are even posted at the public pool, BUT people are "too lazy" to read them.
I go to the pool a lot, but I kind of hate it because I see people from my school, including the popular girls and boys, which is just awkward.
I'm already dark-skinned, so I don't need a tan.
These ads start in mid-to-late July and end in late August or early September. They're super annoying.
Back to school commercials are stupid, annoying, and make me so angry that I want to destroy my phone or the TV.
It's the most HORRIBLE time of the year!
Yeah, when I go to the store, like to use a Target gift card from Christmas, and I see school supplies, I'm like, why are school supplies here so early? They should be showing summer things like pool noodles, floats, beach balls, bubbles, and pool toys.
Just take one day where it's twenty degrees and cloudy. It's quite comfortable, but everyone's all like, "Where's the summer gone?" and "Oh, isn't the weather horrible today?"
Please. In some colder countries, temperatures like that are the warmest they get, and they live with it.
I remember when it rained for three days. Once, someone was upset that it was raining. It was annoying.
Some people experience a lesser-known type of seasonal affective disorder that affects them during the summer instead of the winter. The symptoms of summer SAD are different from its winter counterpart and are thought to be caused by too much sunlight.
