Generally speaking, I prefer cold weather to hot weather. When the weather is cold, you can dress for it — jackets, scarves, sweaters, hats, gloves, etc. — to keep warm. But in the summer, when it’s really hot and muggy, short of staying inside an air conditioned building, there’s not much you can do to escape the heat and humidity. Sure, you can strip naked, but you’d be likely to get arrested for doing so in most places outside of your home.
That doesn’t mean I like extreme cold, either. I lived in Chicago for three years and when the temperatures dipped down to forty degrees below zero before windchill, which they did a few times while I lived there, I didn’t like that one bit.
Before we moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, my wife and I lived in Massachusetts, where the winters were frigid and snowy, which was one of the factors that led us to move all the way across the country.
Here, winters are cool, but not really cold. Rarely does the temperature where we live dip below freezing. Unfortunately, our summers on the East Bay can get very hot — 100°F or more multiple times — between mid-June and mid-September.
That explains my being naked in my house (and sometimes in my backyard) in the summer. No peeking!
I prefer to be warm than cold. Saying that, I love wearing a woolly jumper in the winter.

Lol Fandango! I am hot even when temps are only in the mid 70’s. I have my fan on high now, and today our temps were around 75. Xo

😂 You don’t mean that (the “no” to peeking part).

I’m with you. I’d rather have cold weather than hot. You can put more clothes on but there is a limit to what you can take off in public.
We’ve started getting chilly weather here, but that just means overnight temperatures that might hover around the freezing point. Days are in the tens and low teens (Celsius) although we may drop down to single figures during the winter. I don’t think I would like extreme cold either but countries that have that kind of climate generally do have most buildings heated at least.
