I like spring sun and cool air. That's an almost magical combination for me.

But summer sun can be downright obnoxious. Too hot, and too damn bright. Cloudy summer days are great because of the things you said, and summer rain is maybe even better.

As a autumn person (and a vehemently summer hater)I agree strongly. So, take my downvote! (just kidding 😉)

I associate summer sunshine with allergies, busy social events, stuffy nights… I am absolutely a winter person.

I had to stop myself from downvoting you from sheer outrage, so you've got the right community!

I'm so much happier in sunny weather. I'm jealous that you enjoy it being overcast.

This reads like the most British comment on the internet today

"The gathering storm stirs with vigor, and so do I."

Same. The sun is a deadly laser, and fog is very pleasant on the skin.

Driech is my favourite Scots word and my favourite Scottish weather.

Yep this is also how I feel!

And really, overcast days are my favorite. Best of both worlds.

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

Fellow mushroom person unite!

I’m offended. But fr, it sucks when it’s all sun. Especially in the summer.

I agree.

I live in a place that has extremely hot summers. Aside from the sweat, the worst thing I hate about a hot sunny day is the smell that sticks to you after being under the sun even just for a couple of minutes. I don’t how to describe it other than smelling like the sun. It’s doesn’t stink per se, but I hate how it sticks to you and your clothes until you shower again.

Similar sentiment but for a completely different reason: as a Canadian I love our short summer. Cloudy and dreary summer days don't give me FOMO when I choose or have to stay indoors instead of spending time outside.

If it absolutely has to be summer, give me a raging thunderstorm pleeeease.

I like them both for different reasons.

It somewhat depends on the season for me. Summer and fall absolutely give me cloudy. Spring I probably want cloudy too, but only if there's no snow.

Winter I'd massively prefer sunny.

It also depends what I'm trying to do. If I'm trying to talk friends into enjoying the outdoors with me it can be way easier with sun.

I'm not sure I agree with your sunglasses bit. When it's sunny it's often easier to not look at the sun. When it's cloudy the whole sky can be too bright, which is a bit harder to not look at.
