    The translation of the Greek term for summer is “good weather.”

    Go back to whatever frigid Baltic rock you came from, OP. Talk shit about me with the puffins, it’s fine.

      Baltic

      puffins

      Sounds like you’re as knowledgeable about pelagic seabird distribution as you’re tolerant towards differing weather preferences 😄

      That translation makes sense - Mediterranean climates (like Greece has) don’t have to deal with humid summers. It’s easier to like hot weather when your sweat evaporates.

      In places with hot, humid summers, sweat just piles up until you’re a shiny, dripping, salty mess. And you still feel hot.

      It also makes sense if “sunshine” is considered “good weather.” Mediterranean climates have their wet season in winter, so summers are the dry season, with clear skies and little rain. It makes sense in Greece, but other places get regular thunderstorms in summer, occasional tropical storms/hurricanes, or season-long monsoons that bring torrential rain inland.
