Winter in SE Queensland is the best. Mid to low 20Cs in the day, usually clear and sunny, but rain is nice occasionally.

In my part of the world there are only two seasons, wet & dry and both can kill people occasionally. I like the wet season more because the weather is cooler.
winter and spring because i can't stand temperatures higher than 15 celsius
Same here. The place I currently live gets so hot that my utility bills are cheaper in the winter due to the use of so much AC in the summer. In the winter, I can just have windows open, and it's wonderful
Eh, depends on where I am. In Phoenix? Winter. In Jersey? Spring. In California summer. In Japan? Fall.
Fall here on Vancouver Island. Best colours for photography. Kids are back in school and tourists are not on the island anymore so I can finally enjoy the campsites I subsidize with my taxes and never get to use.
Fall because itβs the most possible time until I start getting heat stroke
Spring or summer, and mostly the idea. I like the flowers and how everything is super vibrant green, but I hate the pollen and where I live it rains all the time in spring. Summer is the same, I like the long, bright, clear days, but also I live in Texas so it's hot as hell and not at all uncommon to go a week or two highs north of 100F/38C (a couple years ago we had 43 days in a row like that.)
Probably fall, weather is more mild, not humid, the bugs are starting to leave. Great for camping.
Fun comfy moments happen all year at random moments
Spring: dry, breezy days where it's sunny and warm
Summer: cool summer nights when the lake is warm enough to swim in
Fall: beautiful red & gold wind with a coffee in hand
Winter: lights on houses and a crackling wood fire with a book & kitties
I love the winter β€οΈ idk I just love the cold way more than the heat
Autumn. It's the end of the sweaty summer but before the freezing snow, the bugs are dying and the trees are pretty colors. Especially when it's crisp fall and not rainy.
Summer. It's warm and sunny, you don't want to kill yourself when you look outside.
Spring, the season of hope, and yes I still like it when it's here.
The hope eventually become cope
looks at news reports of the continued downward spiral of the climate crisis π
Humanity is doomed
But there are buds!
Late winter when the sun is shining over snow covered landscapes.
Early autumn when the various vampiric insects have died off for the year and you can harvest the bounties of the forest.
Spring: mud and 6 months of dirt thawing out of the snow.
Summer: too many insects that are after my blood.
Winter: it's like living in a freezer. Dark, -18C and once a day someone opens the door and some light shines in and then quickly shut it.
Winter. I've never handled the heat well and it feels like there's always something I'm allergic to during the rest of the year, so I've never really been an outdoorsy guy. But there really is something special about being by yourself in the woods on a sunny winter day. Most of the animals have either migrated or hibernated, and the snow completely absorbs the noises from the outside world. It's honestly kinda magical, just getting to appreciate the cold stillness of the world, with the only sounds being the gentle crunch of snow under your feet and trees rustling in the breeze. It feels like taking a glimpse into a world before sentient life existed. Or after sentient life existed.
God, I love winter.
Fall. No allergies, cooler temperatures, the changing leaves, shorter days, and the coming of winter (2nd favourite). I don't do well in heat and I'm not very fond of the sun.
Nothing can be too moist.
Summer, always. I wish it could be summer year-round.
Itβs hot outside, the sun is out for longer, and my seasonal depression can go kick rocks. Natural vitamin D is a hell of a drug. Where I am gets humid too, so my asthma isnβt nearly as bad (dry air triggers it).
Cold saps my energy and psyche to the point Iβm a shell of myself. I also get sick very easily in the cold weather. I just do not function.
Iβve jokingly been called a lizard but I think Iβd genuinely be happy living in a greenhouse/terrarium with a sun lamp, water and a bunch of plants, lol.
I'm the exact same! I've thought about moving to a more topical country but I'm terrified of hurricanes lol.
Summer, always. I wish it could be summer year-round.
Summer, when you can't even sleep without the ac on because its hot and moist and you're sweating all the time. (Me right now π its like 2:17AM in my time zone, but yea my sleep schedule was already fucked, this just exacerbates it.)
Edit: Its not even technically summer yet, but its already hot as fuck. I call it "Pre-Summer"
Even when it's 27-28C outside, my room at home still ends up climbing into the 27-28C range and it is uncomfortably hot inside without turning on the air conditioning. Is that even a normal room temperature? Then at night even with the windows open, the room does not cool down that much to sleep comfortably until like 4 or 5am, and by that point, the sun's already up again.
Summer temperatures are just flat out miserable.
Autumn is my favorite season, closely followed by winter because I associate those two seasons with coziness <3
I donβt like heat but I love the feeling of getting warm when itβs cold.
You pretty much answered this for me.
I like every season, but summer the most for longer days.
Andor season two
This is the way. Wait, wrong show. Rebellions are built on hope.
Counterpoint: Breaking Bad season 5
Counter counterpoint: The Wire, season 4
Came here to say Dexter, S04
Counter counter counterpoint. GoT season 8.
Ppl finally stopped talking about it, well they complained about the ending for awhile.
Ha, true. Having never seen any of it, it was nice to no longer feel I was missing out.
Winter. Everything that makes my sinuses swell is dead, most people want to stay indoors, and I stop sweating while standing still.
