No, we were only hoping it would not be below average in spring which is cold and unpleasant. It ruins the only time of the year that is pleasant for outdoor activity. Also, not once was it hot or humid this spring. Spring warmup are at best , outside of May, mostly June like at very hottest. Would you rather 70/50 or 55/30 in spring... and if its warmer than normal its more like 85/58 with low dews and pleasant still.
You and I are on different plains; I disagree with almost all that. Some of the heat lovers were specifically wanting swimming weather through the Spring, so that is not just "hoping it would not be below average."
"It ruins the only time of year that is pleasant for outdoor activity."
I literally could not disagree more. For me, Fall is a
FAR superior time to be outdoors; lower humidity, falling temps (instead of rising), bugs leaving instead of coming, Fall colors, less allergies, etc. And most of our winter is great time for outdoor activity as well. Aside from the 30s and rain days, or the handful of days it actually feels like a real winter, our normal 45-60 is a perfect time for outdoor activities, hiking, working etc.
"Would you rather 70/50 or 55/30 in Spring?" There is a place for both in Spring and both can be very nice, but I absolutely despise the above average "swimming weather" in Spring, we get enough of that May through Sept.
"85/58 with low dews and pleasant still." That's all in personal opinion but 85 is way to hot for me for Spring. Keep it as cool as possible as long as possible. We get enough heat around here.
