In contrast to the many posts loving the nicer weather, I'm going to take a stand and announce my opposite standpoint!
I suffer from hay fever badly, and whenever we reach this time of year, the nice weather coincides with a permanently runny nose (except at night when it's blocked), a sore nose from blowing it, constant sneezing, and stuffy uncomfortable houses due to not being able to open a window. Oh, and I can get badly sunburnt just putting washing out to dry!
Whilst walking the dogs today, on about my thirtieth (no exaggeration) back to back sneeze, I remember thinking how walking them was about to become a chore again, when all through winter I've really looked forward to it.
The one bright point is that I don't sneeze when out on the bike - though the runny nose is still there - so its actually a bit of a respite for me to go out on a ride. I'm sure there's some medical reason for this.
So, bring back the cold weather (I can wear more layers), bring back the wet weather (I can wear waterproofs), and bah humbug to Summer!
