Out of all the four seasons, none polarize opinion to the extent that summer does. On the one hand, it's full of bugs, seasonal allergies, and the kind of wildfire-inducing heatwaves that serve as an uncomfortable reminder of the climate crisis. On the other hand, you get to go to the beach and pretend that the world isn't on fire for all of five minutes.

Whether you never got over your hazy memories of summer break, or you are a vampire who is entirely allergic to the sun, you can appreciate this collection of memes on the delights and annoyances that come with the warmest months of the year. Just remember that the SPF isn't optional.
