Exactly! It's a very strange arguement. :D



I never stopped. Can't imagine how deficient our darker skinned folk are going to be as they're largely deficient with a good summer.

It's extremely difficult to gain vitamin d via food intake and also very expensive. The most efficient way, by far, is via the sun.

I take 1000ui daily and it just about keeps me good through winter. Tablet form also isn't ideal for letting your vitamin d up but it's better than nothing.

I quite like Autumn, but not in August.

Autumn is the worst season. It means winter is next and summer has just left.
Its also usually wet and gloomy.

At least winter used to be cold and crisp. Now it's just more damp and gloom.

Its more the lack ofsun than the lack of heat I miss in autumn and winter
 
I dislike spring because summers next and dreading if will get heatwave 30+, still remember the last one and dont want to experience that again

I'm seeing this mindset a lot this year and I'm struggling to understand it. We barely ever get temperatures above 30c in the UK, and it hasn't gone 30c once this year where I am.

I'll be perfectly happy with our typical weather and temperatures, but it simply hasn't shown up. :(

I think it tends to be a few degrees hotter where I am. Hasn't happened this year, but at least once a year I'm sure we've seen 30-32c during heatwaves.
 
3rd August - just started the second month of Autumn here now. July 1st was the first day of "mild Autumn" so this year we've a 5 month Autumn season :/

Side note. It rained every single day in july, so far it has also rained every day in August too....34 days in a row of rain in Belfast

Happens once every few years here. But even then it typically only lasts 2-3 days before the temperatures fall off to where they normally are.

Tell that to my haematologist who looks after my leukaemia. He wasn't very happy about my vitamin d levels. :D

Vitamin d deficiency can be extremely harmful and shouldn't be ignored, even in otherwise healthy people.

My mother is a surviving AML patient post transplant. She has to be extremely careful with her skin due to GVHD etc. You ain't kidding. I tend to shy away from the sun anyways as I originally come from the north and most of us are like Barrow-wights up there anyways. :D

Still seems to be erring towards warmer and drier mid August though not quite as dry as it was. I think we'll probably see a scattering of sunny days in there at the least.
