Sorry, I need to expound. I believe that the majority of commentators on this site are American, therefore, generally, you have better, hotter summers than we do in the UK; if we get a good few months of sun and heat, it helps us cope with the rest of the year.

Everything. I detest summer with a passion. My reasons being... Yo.u are expected to go outside and communicate with actual humans. Sunburn. Heatstroke. The heat. The bugs.
Not being able to take water outside because bugs manage to get in my water. SUMMER SUCKSSSS.

Yeah, I live in Orlando, (idc if yk my city) and during the summer so many people come here- it absolutely sucks. Longer lines for about everything, so many people everywhere, and most of them dont have the slightest idea on how to do very simple things. I mean, most of them are from colder places, but you should at least have an idea of how hot it gets here in the summer.

Living in a country where in some years summer is that one sunny day in July, I'm grateful for every sunny day with a temperature above 22°C (72°F). So the thing I hate most about Dutch summers is that you'll never know if you'll even have one this year.

Sunburns, tourists, the humidity, and the massive amount of heat. In Orlando, since Disney is here, so many people come without expecting how hot it'll be here. I mean, most of our summers are like 98° - 105° (Fahrenheit). And since it gets so hot here, the chance of getting a sunburn is really high. (and I assume Arizona is worse, since they have so many bugs and get even more heat than us.)

Definitely the heat. I live on a tropical island and the lowest temperatures we get are in January-March which is around 22 degrees Celsius at night. Those summer months are pure torture. The day and night are hot. The air con can be on full blast and you're still somehow sweating.
We also have really strict vehicle tint laws so even driving around is a pain.
I've never understood why people rush to the Caribbean for the "sun"....which is partly because I've never experienced winter-type cold I guess.

Where I live the summer is generally hot and dry, and the sun burns where it touches. So yeah, extreme discomfort if I need to be outdoors between ~9am-5pm (or later, depending on the temperature of that day), and on top of that it's hard to breath due to the dry, dusty desert-like air. I feel lethargic all the time, my only relief being where there's shadow and air-con (but then again, that's not so good for either my throat, my pockets, or the environment). Give me fall or even winter Anytime (here winter also doesn't go below 0ºC...). But in the past few years the seasons have been a bit scrambled and not at all typical, I guess due to global warming.

Yes, I agree. I've recently returned to the southwest (So. CA, US). The dry intense hot air is very hard to deal with. A small thing I dislike is how electricity constantly sparks in my hair when I brush it and my sheets whenever I move around in bed at night.

I hate everything about yard work, but worst of all, I get poison ivy at least once.
Getting into a car on a hot day sometimes takes my breath away until I can get the AC running. My doggos love to come with me while I'm running errands, but they come with me less during the summer, because hot cars are a hazard, unlike the winter I can bundle them with some blankies so they'll be comfy and safe while I go into the store.
And I know others have said it, but the mosquitoes are BRUTAL, and they seem to adore biting me more than others.
And this probably sounds stupid, but my skin is just as dry and itchy from AC in the summer as it is during the dry winter. However, slathering on lotion and then going out in the heat and humidity makes me feel slimy and gross. You can't win.
It could be worse: my kids break out into hives from even a small amount of heat and/or sun. I've never seen anything like it. We're actually planning to move to a cooler/cloudier climate so they can go outside now and then.

The hot dry heat. My nose gets stuffed up with painful dry mucus and I just feel miserable all over. Sometimes my throat starts closing up if I do too much in the heat. I try not to move much until fall. I had finally escaped to the Pacific Northwest, but recently had to move back to southern California. I miss the deep intense green of the trees and moss; the misty rivers; and the rain.

I’ll be blunt, it is too effing hot! When I moved to this beautiful valley in southern Oregon in 1985 it was fabulous. As we were building our house people even told us you don’t really need air conditioning. Well welcome to climate change… It’s now fairly common to have temperatures over 100°.Not just one or two or even three per summer, but sometimes more like 20 days. I walk every day and now I have started to carry a reflective umbrella to keep myself from overheating even though I have on sleeveless shirt and shorts. Tis a pity. I am sad to imagine the future of our planet.

I hate it that as an adult we don't get a summer break. I live in a college town and students get off the 1st week of May and don't come back until the end of August.
