I mean we're mostly used to it at this point but damn

Um, excuse me. Thunderstorms are amazing! I'll take a good thunderstorm everyday of the summer over the heat and sun

Every time there's a thunderstorm, a town or city floods. Infrastructure is not built for the kinds of rain we're seeing now and it used to be so rare it wasn't an issue. Now everyone is scrambling to build water handling systems.
- This is not the case everywhere.
My probtis i love in a tiny apartment with two cats. My windows were kept tight to keep on the pitiful amount of cold air from my window unit, but not being able to open the windows at night means my timy apartment starts to smell like cat real fast
- This post is like one of those find the words puzzles I loved as a child.
- Why can't you open the windows?
  Edit: Ah wait I just remembered that German tilting windows aren't a thing everywhere
The problem I have is that my lease requires me to keep the lawn mowed. Between work and thunderstorms keeping the grass wet, it's hard to find a good time to take care of it.
- That sucks
They're fine if you don't care about leaving the house.
- Is that supposed to be a negative? LOL

Forest fires and the terrible air quality they cause

Bingo. The second one should be wildfires instead of thunderstorms!
Life in the PNW for someone with asthma:
Winter - flu season! Hope you don't like breathing
Spring - allergy season! Hope you don't like breathing
Summer - fire season! Hope you don't like breathing
Fall - here are your two weeks of being able to breathe, enjoy!

Swede here, there has been a lot of posts about a heatwave in Europe, so far the summer here has been very mild, and this is the weather I am seeing in the weather app for my two week summer vacation:

Ok that's it I'm moving
- Hehe, just be aware that like the rest of Europe, we mostly don't have AC at home, and our houses are built to keep heat in, so when it does get hot, it is not ideal
I'm using Swedish VPN so I'm having the same weather :D
That's pretty much our middle of the winter temperatures here in Australia right now.
Your high is lower than my low 😭
Can you adopt me? I'll sleep in a closet.
I have no idea if 12° in non-freedom units is hot or cold.
- 12°C is 53.6°F
That's the dream temperature. Literally 20 degrees less than here.

1996 was probably the last time I said I can't wait for summer. Summer sucks.

We need some kind of international exchange program for people who hate the heat to trade with people who hate the cold. Last winter just about finished me mentally which contributed to losing my job. If I had to live somewhere it was 100F every day I would do it as long as I never have to see snow again.
Ironically that was my first summer in this world

I loved it in the tropics. 40C day, then right on 4pm, BAM!!! It's 25C, there's an epic lightning show,, 10 mins later it's gone, the roads are steaming, and a nice balmy 28C night kicks off.,

I love thunderstorms though. They are my favourite weather.

It's pretty clear that I have never been struck by lightning.

It's the summers that we don't get thunderstorms that I worry about, because those are the years we end up in extreme droughts and those are far more miserable. As for the heat, people find a reason to bitch about every season. It's too cold. It's too hot. Eew there's bugs. Damned pollen. Fuckin' leaves everywhere. Ice sucks. Bird shit all over. Santa Claus is coming to town, hide your kids and hide your wife.
