I know this is probably done about 50 times before here but I've got weather on my mind at the moment because we seem to be having non-stop rain and doesn't look like we're going to be having a summer in the UK this year.

(I voted snow by the way, although I love hailstones but I count that as rain)

For me it's heat. Unless I go one day to Siberia or something, no matter how cold it is I can just put on layers and layers of clothing until I'm feeling warm, and an umbrella will take care of but the heaviest of rains, and even then they are still manageable. But I've never felt worse than when I was walking around a very low-altitude tropical city at midday with absolutely no breeze. The air felt really stale, the heat was unbearable, taking off my sweat-soaked shirt was not acceptable, hate hate hate!

20ºC is just fine, as heat I mean generally 30+ specifically 35+, and 41ºC being my record.

Either humid heatwaves (that even get hotter at night), extreme (hail) thunderstorms or snow overload.

The perfect weather for me is like a sunny 20°c day with a tiny amount of clouds and NO rain and wind.

I like the heat the best because it brings out the inner confidence in me. I feel physically hidden away when I've got thick clothes on, and I can't stand the paths when it's really icey, it makes me feel really nervous of slipping over, not because of hurting myself but because of embarrassing myself, and part of social phobia is fear of something embarrassing happening to you out in public, whether it's beyond my control or not. But in heat, like temperature above 20 degrees celcius (with no stupid northeasterly winds) I feel I can just put on a nice T-shirt with my shorts or half-masts and my sandals and I can hide my eyes with my sunglasses and I carry my brightly-coloured handbag, and I feel much more confident. Plus you can sit outside and eat your lunch in the heat (in the shade), rather than being cooped up indoors with screaming kids in the restaurants, and I think it's just a nicer atmosphere and it feels like a long vacation but being at home at the same time.

That is why snow is my worst weather - the complete opposite to summer in every way.

Heatwaves of 45 plus degrees for weeks on end. Especially with brownouts by the power company. It is so hot, you cant even have cold showers. :x

Also rainy weather because i hate wet shoes.

I chose rain because my hair goes frizzy and poofy when it rains but I also hate humidity and deep freeze cold.

I don't like the heat because for all the rest I can just stay inside and ignore them. In my new place the air conditioning doesn't work good so it still gets hot inside.

In my old place I probably would have picked rain because the roof leaked. Also I hated the cold because the heat didn't work good there and it was controlled by our downstairs neighbor.

It's a close call between heatwaves and wind. The heat makes me feel nauseous and the wind makes me feel like I'm being beaten up by the atmosphere. It's very intrusive and makes me feel very stressed.

I hate the heat, I feel like I'm going to melt. I am half Spanish and half Scottish but when it comes to the heat the Scottish side wins - even England feels quite warm to me and I am always complaining about being too hot. I am frightened of thunderstorms but they are usually over quite quickly.

I love snow :)
