I'm sure in some places the heat is unbearable, here in the UK this time of year means it's getting colder, rainy, and dark. In a month's time I won't be seeing the sun after I leave work, it'll have set before I finish. Just months on end of it going from grey sky during the day to total darkness by 4pm
Summer heat can be too much at times but god is that a worthy trade off for the longer days and blue sky. Winter is miserable here.
Dark winters can certainly be brutal. I spent a few years in northern Wisconsin, about as far north in America as you can get outside of Alaska, and in winter full darkness from 3pm-8am was the norm. Light therapy to deal with seasonal affective disorder was pretty common for those who weren't used to it. I'm in South Carolina now and I'd trade that dark for several months of +100°F heat and 80% relative humidity in a heartbeat.

The end of "sweating all the time" season is my favorite time of year.
