Ugh. Who the he!! wants it sunny constantly? Or even sunny most of the time? Don't you know that evil eye in the sky causes cataracts, wrinkles and melanoma?
Amen!

What's even more annoying is when we've had literally months (or even years) of near constant above average weather, especially in fall/winter recently, and we get a cold snap that lasts two days and you hear endless idiots bitching about how "cold" it is.


Seriously? Can't handle a couple of nights in the 40s after having all of December with highs in the 80s and lows around 70? I swear I hate people down here.



Also in 2015 we were having a very dry summer (especially early summer), we were even in the "exceptional drought" category, we would get a couple of days with thunderstorms and endless moaning about the rain that we desperately need would commence.


I'll never really understand why some people need it to be absolutely perfect all the time and if not it's the end of the ****ing world.

Another one is something I see up here in the snowbelt of all places and that is people crying about the snow when it falls and moaning about how it's terrible. Are they serious? I can see (but not fully understand) someone complaining about snow if they live in an area that generally doesn't get it...but come on, the annual average here is around 10 feet so it seems kind of a given that there is going to be snow--lots of it--every year. Why do they stay here if they are just gonna fuss over the weather? Go move to somewhere dry and sunny if ya don't like snow and clouds...ha ha
Who wants it sunny constantly? Why, me...

Those who want it constantly sunny or constantly cloudy are not "normal" to me, anyway.

A bit of both is always acceptable.

40-50% sunshine is about ideal IMO. Still a good mix, but more cloud. That's perfect. Miami is way too sunny of a climate for me.

I'd be pretty pissed if I visited Florida to escape the cold and it was cold there. It's all relative of course, your cold isn't cold to me, "cool" at best, but it's still not what I'd like to see on a trip away from NYC in the winter.

It'd be completely different if I lived there though, a night or two in the 30's or 40's is nothing, and this is coming from someone who absolutely hates the cold.

Thunderstorms are fun and keep things nice and lush during summer. Rain is pretty necessary during the summer. I have the opposite annoyance: people who need like 99.8% sunshine in the summer. What's appealing about excessive dryness and brown vegetation in the summer? To each their own though, everybody has their tastes and preferences.

Couldn't rep you but I'd agree. I like thunderstorms so about one a week would be good to keep things interesting. Otherwise, make it dry and sunny so I can go outside when ever the h*ll I want without having to worry about rain. Also, low humidity is more comfortable to me. My ideal climate is semi arid and I find forests and greenery to be incredibly boring so I'm not into the "rain keeps the plants green" thing.

To each their own though. If you love thunderstorms and rain most days, who cares.

Hey man, I try to allow for at least 2 or 3 a month in my dream climate

Even having 0 rain all month would kill me. You need something to keep it exciting, although like 85% sun in summer months is my preference.

Some desert vegetation is pretty cool anyway, and the idea of sunny weather in summer is just too good to pass up for 3 weeks of storms
