I can't stand the summers. I sweat a hell lot, something that has always been an issue for me since my childhood. I can't survive summers without AC. The only good thing about summers is I don't have to suffer asthma. I've been super, hyper asthmatic since the age of two. Everytime I suffer asthma, I've to go through hell.

I love winters. In my state of Assam, winters are not as severe as in North India. The minimum the temperature goes down to is 8 degrees. It's uncomfortable but not something I can't manage. Mu biggest issue is I have to go through asthma during winters. Trust me, it's miserable.

What do you guys prefer, summers or winters?​
 
Depends on the location.

The British summer is amazing, the best in the world imo. Sunset is after 9.30pm, the weather isnt too hot, the beautiful countryside looks stunning.

Ive only been on a couple of winter holidays , to the Alps because the landscape is amazing but prefer heat and sun.
 
Yes depends on the location. European summers are nice, can't imagine summer in middle east, Pakistan, Bangladesh or other third world countries like India. The heats, smell, and number of people must get overwhelming. I have stayed in an air conditioned room in the peak summer in Pakistan and the UAE and was too weak to step outside until nightfall and even then it was difficult. Those people that navigate this heat and go about their day to day lives have my respect.

In contrast cold weather ( unless you are in remote Canada or Alaska) is easier to navigate as you can just put on heating or extra layers.

Or move to California (San diego, SF bay area) and not worry about the weather.
 
It seems like a very fake lifestyle. People walking around with six packs and **** jobs. For a salt of the earth man like me I would become unbearable.
Yup.

Unbearable I tell you. Waking up to 55 F warming up to 80F with 7+ hours of sunshine, top notch educational institutions, high paying jobs, great food.

It really sucks.

Don't come. Well, in retrospect, don't have to worry about that

Rubbish sport tho

In England you can sit at the local cricket club in the summer drinking lemonade until 9.30pm relaxing in the English countryside. Can’t happen in America
 
Summers are amazing if there are trees and water around and slight breeze, I did enjoy summers in farm houses in India.
Winter is great in Texas as its mild, hated it in Chicago.

I think end of the day the extreme in any condition is what I don’t like.

Personally I love all 4 seasons that many US cities have.

It can easily happen in US and it does with baseball. US is a huge country with amazing weather in Florida, California throughout and other cities dependent.

UK winter is very nice sometimes when it's not raining.

Its still dark outside, crisp frost on the ground, breath hits your chest nicely,.seeing the cold breath as you exhale. They are the best mornings.
 
I hate summers in England. This country isn't built for summers. The way the houses are built, summers are quite unbearable. I prefer winters and always have.

I read a lot about English summer in books shows etc, I always wonder if it’s how they describe.
Probably will visit in future to check it out myself and hopefully catch atleast one cricket game.

You will enjoy it and as an Indian probably feel more at home here then in US. Only problem is that infrastructure is much worse than US. Too hot or too cold and transport grinds to a halt.
 
Winter. Grew up in the heat.

But winter in places with hot summers usually is nicer than places known for intense winters because it gets cold enough to need a jacket but not cold enough where you’re having to shovel snow every morning.

I enjoy outdoors more in the cold as well

huh?

four major sports leagues with three of them running in parallel most of the time. not to mention college sport thrown in.

Living in San Diego/SF bay area can be hard.

for 8 months of the year, you have to choose between biking, surfing or diving in the mornings. Sailing, wine tasting or one of the other dozen outdoor activities in the afternoon

After that there is burden of which cuisine to eat for dinner.

winter can be challenging. Choosing which ski resort to go is headache.

Avoid all this Stay in England.

England? The old "colonial land"? Nah man...

Ever heard of the "West Coast" of America?
 
West coast has little to no history. England has history inc buildings going back a 1000 years. I would never live in America.
WTH does it have to with the current life?

Shitty weather and crappy food is made up for by age of buildings?

Do US a favor, don’t even visit

Calm down lad, you're an immigrant to US, no need to get upset with a H1B. :sachin

The view, scenery is important to me when it comes to summers. Along with great sports.

The food here is far better than Tacos and Hot dogs. England has worldwide foods available here, the best of the best. I wont be coming and the favour is to Trump not you. :sachin

One thing which is apparent this year, we aren't really set up for long spells of hot weather in this country. I don't have A/C and I suspect most others don't either, so it can get pretty uncomfortable even with the windows open.

In general though I like hot weather, I'm an outdoors type. But not sure I'd want it all year round, I like the seasons.

The US is a far superior country to England an absolute no-contest. I always love how Brit Asians try to talk down America when their country is nothing in comparison to the heaven on earth that is the US.

People in the US mostly work from dawn to dusk so how much of that heaven do they even get to see?

I guess it's different for the really top earners or businessmen, but for the ordinary layman, life is often just geared around work in the US.

I can also make lazy generalizations about people in the UK mostly being overweight and in pubs all day. The money that the "average layman" makes in the US would be more than most so-called top earners in the UK.

Life is generally great for anyone who is above average, doesn't matter where you live. Although the third world is still the third world, regardless of how big you build your mansion.

But I am using the layman as a standard because that's what most people are.

You sound like the authority on 3rd world, Cap I'll take your word for it. Compared to US, UK is 3rd world - smelly, poor and dirty with terrible weather.

Is this Maryam Nawaz? Please read the thread. Its not which nation is superiour, its which season someone enjoys. In Lahori English this is called an opinion, which I gave, not sure why your knickers are in a twist lass? :wg

Don't dream, you couldn't get to talk to even Maryam's cleaner or driver. This is not Joshila or Mamoon, QueenKhan, this is the big league. :inti

Joshila and Mamoon are an another level to PMLN fangboys.

Lets get back to the topic. What is your favourite season in Pakistan? End of the financial year?

They might well be, I wouldn't know seeing as I don't support any political party. They may even be on a different level to burger kids in "London" who speak English with a fake accent but think they are descendants of Queen Elizabeth.

Are you comparing USA with UK while sitting in Pakistan?

There's nothing wrong with being in Pakistan for what it's worth, I have family who live a great life there, but you won't have a real perspective of the UK unless you've lived here.

Nice try ;) but as said this is not Joshila or some veggie mohalla samosa lover to fall for that.

The difference between US and UK is as big as the difference between UK and the third world.

Im sure you'll make friends soon....but until then which is your fav season in Pakistan? Maybe the winter so the powder doesnt run off Maryams nose?
 
In North America, nothing Beats California to live, absolutely beautiful.

History is based on perspective, English History isn’t close to Roman, Greek doesn’t mean England will not be a good place to live.

Just because there is so much History in NE USA, it won’t become better than West Coast.
 
  1. British think that they are the "cream" of the Earth
  2. Americans thinks that USA is the best country on this Earth
I guess it depends on a person's likes and dislikes. To me SoCal beats UK any day of the week in terms of geography, weather, people, opportunities etc.
