For context, I live in a tropical country where summer means extreme heat, unbearable humidity, bugs, and typhoon season. The idea of having a long vacation during this time doesn’t make sense, most days you’re either sweating uncontrollably outside or stuck indoors because it’s unsafe to go out due to typhoons.
On the other hand, from November to January, the weather is perfect: warm but comfortable, much less humid, and rain is rare. It’s the best time to enjoy the beach or spend time outdoors without worrying about heat exhaustion or getting caught in a typhoon.
Honestly, I’d much rather be in an air-conditioned classroom during the brutal summer months, safe from the sun and storms, than out burning under the scorching sun or trapped inside due to bad weather. It would make so much more sense and improve quality of life to have the long vacation during the cooler, calmer months when people can truly enjoy their time off.

There’s a lot of time off in the winter as well, lots of winter holidays.
Also, you can go to the southern hemisphere in the June – August months and enjoy their winter.
Pretty sure this is a popular opinion especially in tropical countries with terrible rain storm seasons in the summer.
i come from a normal european climate country and i disagree because the summer months are brutal and if i can i want to spend them on my own terms and not at school/the workplace becoming a sweat waterfall
Great time to go to Alaska
I’m sure this is a popular opinion
Would still take that over freezing cold, and not everyone gets to choose their holiday times
Why not go on holiday to a location that isn’t unbearably hot and humid?
Holidays don’t need to involve hot weather and sweating.
A nice cottage vacation on a quiet lake is always pretty nice in the summer I think.
