I fucking love blizzards with high wind. I bought a bunch of stuff that's graded for the Yukon as an investment ages ago and now during the winter I can take walks, there's no tourists, and it's so calming.

Snow, but not windy. It's so quiet and peaceful.

Same. The silence, even in the middle of a city, is just magical.

Snow when you aren't the one responsible for shoveling it, haha.

Growing up, my Dad would have us shovel while it was still snowing, so it wouldn't pile up too high for our second shift when it was over. Absolutely miserable lol

I was lucky enough to grow up with friendly neighbors with a snowblower

Cloudy but not windy, perfect for bicycling, you dont get sunburned and dont have to pedal against the wind

Call me Emo, but I enjoy a good foggy rain shower on a autumn day

And not just because it gives me an excuse to dress like one of the Strangers from Dark City

Cold

I can add layers, but there's a limit to the layers I can remove when it's hot

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Not if you have a paring knife and a lot of perseverance.

A winter's day, around -10C is about perfect for me. It's a comfortable temperature for pretty much any activity. You can sit around all day, or take off a few layers and go for a run without worry about overheating. The air is warm enough that you can smell the snow, but not so warm as to make things soggy.

Give me those clear autumn days where it's warm when you stand in the sun and cold in the shade. I really only feel right when there's a chill.

As long as it isn't windy - Rain. Lots of rain. Rain for hours, maybe days or weeks. Warm rain, freezing rain, half-icy rain, I can just soak it in. Walking in rain really feels like baptism to me. When it rains so hard nobody can hear anything, those are the only few times I've truly felt able to be myself.

I love rain.

i've always loved when it's foggy. it feels so magical and cozy. everything gets washed out in a familiar yet otherworldly way, and it makes me feel so at ease. i love walking through the fog listening to ambient music or Burial 🙂

Sun showers are also amazing. They make me feel so emotional for some reason.

Lastly, when the temp is hanging around 0c and it's snowing, so you get the big fluffy snow flakes that fall so gently and slowly. Love that too.

Sunny summer day in the low 80's with no humidity and no rain, just vibe hearing the birds chirp and sing.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Rain unless it is super cold

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

A clear, moonless, winters (or in colder climes autumn) night in the wilderness, just above freezing, with the stars blazing above.

40-50F, partly cloudy, not windy, not spring

I like wearing a hoodie, or some misc. outer layer, so I prefer colder temps. But at 40-50, I could comfortably take off a layer if I'm being physically active. I like it partly cloudy because sometimes the sun peaks out from behind the clouds, and you feel so warm for a brief second -- it's bliss. If the sun was out too much though, it would overall get too hot. And not spring because of seasonal allergies.

I love dawn in the summer. It's usually cool, and there are few people awake that early. It's pretty much just me and the birds.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Sunny, high of 85F at midday, low of 65F at night and humidity on the lower side but above 30%.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I hate the cold and dark so much that even excessive heat is negligible compared to it.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Warm to hot. Dry.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Nighttime, 10°C, raining, light thunder in the distance, curled up in bed ready for a nice long sleep chefs-kiss

I fucking love blizzards with high wind

scared

i like it when its hot and dry. crisp air, light sweat stalin-approval

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

give me like a 70f storm. hot storms are uncomfortable, cold storms are cozy but suck to get anywhere. 70f and storming means i can go for a walk if i want, it'll be nice and refreshing.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I love the Autumn season, nice and cool. Winter is ok, but shovelling snow all the time gets tiring.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

28 degrees and snowing is perfection.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I like it hot. 24-30 celsius. 35 and above is a bit much.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Not too hot or cool (~20C) and wet

Being in the tropics has made me amphibian, i need moisture or else i will literally dry out
