Best season, weather is nice enough so Ican enjoy outdoor activities.
There's no such thing as bad weather only inappropriate gear.
The problem is, in the summer, "appropriate gear" means an air conditioned house.
Yes you can play tennis in bubble jackets rifling through snow but it's not exactly pleasant, you can put skis on your skateboard but it ain't the same.
In Texas we have summer heat that even an air conditioned house can't keep up with at times. It can get hot enough that a some home AC systems will run and run and not maintain a comfortable temp.
Can confirm. Already happened yesterday. The hot temps are creeping in early this year and I’m still dealing with all the fallen trees from the storms last week. Steamy as heck outside.
Yeah you have to manage your expectations and also close the shades. But if you are coming in from the heat, the house will feel cool even if it's not cold. Usually with a heat pump (and older not so insulated house) we can comfortably get up to about 20f lower than outside, set it at 78 in summer and it works ok, still seems to manage the humidity inside too.
