Where do you live? Definitely not the case on the coast down here - loads of sun through spring/summer

Seaford… but I am often spoiled with British Columbia weather where the summers are summers. It’s like the air is “thicker” here and there’s sweat on my brow walking from humidity here, which isn’t the case elsewhere.

Temperatures 19/20 here with lots of sun till towards end of Sept at least which is great (after this unsettled few days and a couple of slightly cooler days mid next week). The nights are getting colder just for the middle of next week before picking up again. Nowhere near heating weather really

I think many would agree with you. The weather “doing something” and humid/warm nights are unpleasant.
I love a nice crisp cold sunny day.
The centre of Sheffield's awful for the mugginess, I've had my windscreen mist up in midsummer just because it's so humid. I used to leave my house up on one of the hills wearing a coat and arrive in the office half an hour later stripped down to my shirt.

I get the humidity to an extent but to say so much of our spring/summer is cloudy is just wrong here - we get loads of sun on the SE coast through spring/summer.
Love it being back here personally after living elsewhere various places: mostly sunny through spring and summer bar a the odd spell, and largely pleasant temperatures bar heatwaves where you can still go about your day job. Funny how folk see/feel things differently.

Vancouver has a wetter climate that the Sussex coast and high humidity. A bit more sun in July and August.

Fired up the log burner last night . . . just for a few hours, not cold, just that it has been so damp/humid . . .all year!
I don't need a heater on my workshop or man cave these days, but I do need a dehumidifier!

Those averages for the UK... some places on these isles really don't see much sun, eh. we're lucky down here
Interesting visual - little yellow bit basically around the Sussex coast (if you zoom in!):

My dehumidifier has just kicked in, but of course, very warm still.

The poster lamented Vancouver better than Seaford weather, so Eastbourne’s very long standing climate data came in handy.

Not Vancouver, no, which is notoriously wet.
British Columbia is 4x the size of the UK…

Are you lucky enough to spend time in winter well inland eg Big White or Revelstoke?

I haven’t, the furthest north (while staying in BC) I’ve been is Quesnel, but I’m usually in Kamloops or Kelowna.
