20 Reasons Why Summer is the Best Season

Things to love about summer season!

Like any season, summer only comes around once a year, but in most cases, it tends to be the favourite season of the year. 

Here, we list some rather obvious, and less obvious reasons why summer is unquestionably the best season... 

1. Sunshine

Well, duh, of course, most of us just love the sunshine, and summer gives us just that. What's better than waking up to a sunny day? Not much. 

2. Longer Days

Many of us can get down in the dumps during winter season, and the short days don't help. But, in summer, it's the total opposite. Our days are longer, and we find ourselves out and about much more. 

3. Happiness

Summer is the season when most of us are at our happiest. The sunshine makes us in a good mood, and less likely to get depressed. It's also a season that makes us feel optimistic. 

4. Holiday!! 

Ok, so a lot of us go on holiday throughout the year, but there's nothing quite like a summer holiday. Sun, sand, and sea, is just what the Brits love most. 

5. Beach

Who doesn't love a trip to the beach? Whether it's home or away, most people just love a hot summer's day at the beach, soaking up the rays, be it with friends or/and family. 

6. Ice Cream 

Eating ice cream in the colder months has its joys, but nothing quite beats eating ice cream on a hot, sunny, summer's day. Summer season just gives us more of an excuse to eat more of it! 

7. Sport

Not all of us like sport, but summer season seems to connect us on that front, with events like the Olympics, the world cup, Wimbledon etc., summer is the time of year we can all enjoy a bit of sport.

8. Time off School

Well, this one doesn't need any explaining. 

9. Getting a Tan

We all look more tanned and healthier looking during summer season, which is great for our health, self-esteem and confidence. Being tanned just looks a whole lot better! 

10. Day Trips

Summer is a great time to branch out and do some day trips, be it long walks, or a trip down the park. 

11. Picnics 

Who doesn't love a picnic? Summer is without doubt the best time of the year for picnics, be it at the local park, or down the beach. Both are equally as enjoyable.

12. Water

Most of us love the water, and there's no better time to enjoy it than during the hotter months of the year. Whether it's swimming in the sea you like, or water sports, summer is the perfect time to get wet!

13. BBQs 

Barbeque season, AKA summer, is one of the most fun times of the year. It's a time to enjoy some quality time with your friends and family, out in the sun, over a few cold drinks and grilled meat.  

14. Fruity Cider 

No other drink is quite as popular as cider in the summer season. Cold, fruity, and refreshing, there isn't an alcoholic beverage more suited to summer than cider. 

15. Beer Gardens

It may just be a British thing, but we all seem to love our beer gardens. What's more enjoyable than spending a few hours in a beer garden with some close friends, drinking the day away! 

16. Exercising 

Working out and getting fit can be tricky during the colder time of the year, but it always seems a lot easier when it's summer time. Getting up is a whole lot easier, and early morning workouts are more frequent during the hotter weeks. 

17. No Socks

Well, who likes wearing socks? 

18. Gardening

Some may argue that spring is the best season for gardening, but summer is just as enjoyable, and you also get the longer days to perfect your garden. 

19. Camping

Summer is the season for camping, be it local or further afield, there's nothing quite like a camping trip during the hot summer weeks. 

20. Better Hair! 

Not many people know this, but our hair tends to thrive during summer season. Seasonal hair loss can be particularly brutal during the spring and autumn months, but summer is the time when most of us experience our best hair growth phase.
