I’m Swiss, but I was born and raised in the Gulf states. When I visit Switzerland during the cold season, I immediately become depressed, irritable, and in a bad mood. I prefer the heat 100%. I don’t think I could live in a place with a cold climate and be happy.
Quick winter days depress the hell out of me. I need a baseline of 12 hours of sunlight.
Snow and rain. Love it. Takes all the pressure off of doing anything.
Long hot summer days also depress the fuck out of me but I can mitigate that a billion different ways.
Fall days are my comfort zone. I usually feel my best around September through November. The temp goes down. I can still wear shorts but it’s also not mind numbingly hot. My birthday and the holidays fall in that period. Usually the middle of December when it’s cold and dark by 4 my mood goes down.
Foggy days make me want to carry a machete around and hunt monsters in an abandoned town.
