I've spent most of my career in tropical climates, so I do not consider the sun my friend (wrinkles, age-spots and skin cancer, ugh, give me that nice, daily vitamin D pill). Non-summer holidays are my exotic escapes, and the chance to wear my nice cashmere coat and be outside walking around in nice, cool air. Europe in summer is randomly hot and muggy, but without the air-conditioning that I would have at home. I don't travel in Japan for fun in summer either, for much the same reason.

One of the annoying things about climate change is that February in Europe anywhere south of Oslo is no longer reliably still winter; it's practically early spring, too warm for my good winter ensembles, especially now that Uniqlo's Heat-tech stuff is so effective.
