 I'm not trying to be different here or quirky, but sunny, warm weather makes me feel genuinely depressed and unmotivated. I appreciate the sun and what it does, but a day with constant grey skies, and cold wind make me motivated to go out and just so happy and upbeat. 

And I deal with summer and try to make the most of it...but when autumn has started and the weatherman is telling me it's supposed to be nice and grey all day, I get excited. Then to take my LO on a walk and suddenly the cloud cover leaves, and I feel this hot, humid sun on me just is not fun. I cut the walk short, and right when I got home the grey skies came back. It feels like a tease. I just want autumn officially here and summer evaporated. 
 Is it the heat and humidity or the sun? 
 I don't understand people who associate sun with energy. I go out in the sun for 5 minutes and it's nap time. I also hate summer because heat makes me incredibly sluggish. Sunny weather always sucks unless you're a plant. Even in winter - it just gets bright as fuck and not at all warm. 
 I love a cool breezy day.
