Sunday Five - Summer Days




I will admit I have a love-hate relationship with summer.  I love it being warm, hate if being hot and humid.  Hence this weeks Sunday five.

1: What it the ideal temperature for a summer day (in F or C)? 
2: Do you wear sunscreen in the summer? 
3: Are you planning to go to the beach this summer? 
4: Fresh water or salt water? 
5: Have you ever been snorkeling? 

My answers: 
1: What it the ideal temperature for a summer day (in F or C)?  About 80 F, and low humidity 
2: Do you wear sunscreen in the summer? Seldom 
3: Are you planning to go to the beach this summer? No, the closest we might come is Cleveland on the north coast of Ohio. 
4: Fresh water or salt water? I prefer salt water, but really either. 
5: Have you ever been snorkeling?  Yes, a friend showed me how when I was in my late teens.  

Please share your answers in the comments.

    1. I misread that first one. My ideal temp is NOT 90 high high high humidity, it's 80s and LOW humidity.

  6. 1: What it the ideal temperature for a summer day (in F or C)? Mid to low 70s F, overcast.
    2: Do you wear sunscreen in the summer? Rarely go out so no need.
    3: Are you planning to go to the beach this summer? No.
    4: Fresh water or salt water? I like looking at coastal rocky cliffs and shores in Maine and England. so I suppose salt. I don't have to be IN the water; I just like the air and the atmosphere. I can breathe easier if the climate is maritime.
    5: Have you ever been snorkeling? No. I can barely swim.

    4. Both if the fresh water isn't too slimy (don't ask)
    5. No. Too claustrophobic for the mask.

  12. 1. Ideal temperature 25-28C.
    2. I wear sunscreen if I'm going to be in the sun for more than 10 mins.
    3. Might go to the harbour, but not the beach.
    4. Hard to choose. I love lakes and rivers, also the harbour but they are further from home so I go less often.
    5. Snorkelling - yes. Also scuba diving. I was an enthusiastic diver in UK waters for over 17 years. It was one of the best things I ever go into in my whole life. Thrilling.
