The humidity is triggering my asthma every five minutes and I'm lying on the couch feeling rough as strawberry float.

If you like the heat that much go live in a hotter country and take the heat with you.
Because I like lots of other things about the UK, including the varied climate we experience.
Liking the heat is not incompatible with liking other things too!

Maybe all the 'why does summer have to happen' people should go live somewhere more consistently cold. I hear the arctic circle is pretty good at this time of year, about 9 degrees and raining in Tromsø right now, for example.

The hay fever has been horrible. Perfect conditions for grass pollen.
I'm on 3 tablets a day.

Japan. I've done every season but summer and from everything I've heard it will kill me. It's going to be fun studying over there in a few years time

We have the same problem flipped around. I don't want to just exist inside, I'd like to be out hiking or seeing friends. I'm screwed for 3 months of the year too. It's unfortunate that my closest friend hates winter as much as I hate summer, we really only have the spring and autumn to enjoy walks together

On second thoughts, that might be a bad idea.

In seriousness whenever we have these heatwaves I always look at the temperature in Scotland and wish I could retreat there
