From here in south Texas, hate is a perfectly appropriate word for hot weather. And for humidity, even if it is good for your skin.
I don't think hate is strong when applied to inanimate objects - or foods. In fact, I haven't heard anyone say it's too strong since fifth grade. It's just a figure of speach, for pete's sake.
Apply it to people......*now* it's a strong word.
