I got into a discussion with someone the other day about bad weather and the topic came up about what was worse--excessively hot weather or excessively cold weather.

My personal vote is for excessively hot weather. There is nothing worse than having a week (or even a couple of days) of weather that hits 90 F or higher

I can handle the Arctic fronts...

I hate 90's+ with dew points near 80. I would rather have colder weather like 45f.

I voted for heat wave because I thought the question was about what people would prefer, not what they would hate.

IMHO, extreme cold is worse than extreme heat.

Arctic front is far worse. It wrecks havoc on my garden

Cold weather is worse, don't even want to go walking outside or even open the door of the house.

90s no problem, cool off easy with a scooter ride or jump in the lake.
