36 degrees in the shade, the Danube full of urine: is it permissible to hate the summer?

The article discusses the mixed feelings people have towards summer, particularly in Vienna, Austria. While the season initially brings joy through activities like swimming in the Danube, enjoying Aperol Spritz, and eating fries, the author reflects on the discomfort caused by extreme heat and environmental issues such as pollution in the river. The piece highlights the physical and emotional challenges of prolonged hot weather, including difficulty sleeping during warm nights, unpleasant conditions in public transport, and health effects from excessive sun exposure. It also references societal expectations around appreciating good weather and contrasts this with the relief of anticipating winter.
