Ask Lemmy

I live in SEA currently, after living in the US' PNW for the longest time.

My take: Easier to dress, but boring. I definitely miss the winter, despite hating the cold at times.

I hate winter so like it here. We do have a wet hotter season and dry cooler season but mostly I hate that the whole idea of "seasons" is so unrelentingly European. Like any other place is wrong in some way. Our growing season is Fall through Spring but harvest related festivals are still in Fall here, even though nobody is harvesting a damn thing in late summer!

Basically, like you grew up with some seasonal ideal, I grew up here so think of the cooler time as the fertile time, and the time we have concerts, state fair, and vacationers; the summer as the fallow time, we do have seasons.

San Francisco had kinda spring and kinda autumn (that is to say never really a summer or winter).

Then Google moved in.

Not sure if those two corellate.

I live in an SEA country, where it's hot all year. Only recently that I realized this: I don't need to deal with snow & winter. I don't need to wear a thick coat when going outside. Wanna buy something? Just go to warung only 10 meters away, only wearing sandals, short, and t-shirt.

It feels normal because it's all I lived with. I dislike the constant heat though. No matter which season it is, it generally is hot at some point in the day.

I live in Taiwan and the weather varies from 20-35 with 75-100% humidity. Basically it's summer and spring/fall all year round. No winters or snow.

I honestly love it. From May-ish to Sept-ish it's summer and it's hot... People shift their life closer to night time. Night markets close at midnight. Many restaurants open late(around 11) and close late(10ish).

The rest of the time of year it's so comfortable. 23-28c. During this time people are camping, riding road bikes, and going to the beach.

My wife hates the cold so it's quite nice when it's not summer.

Simplifies your wardrobe a lot, that's probably my favorite thing about mono-season climates.

It’s a very positive way of looking at things!

In UK, the rainfall and lack of sunlight is no good for me. I do appreciate the variety, but the seasons seem less distinct these days .

I live in a country where there are seasonal variatens but not in the state i live in. I guess we do get rain and in the summer its hot outside but there is no snow in the winter or anything . Its alright i guess

I live in Medellin, Colombia. It’s known as The City of Eternal Spring. All year the temperature stays between 20-25 C. It’s pretty great. We have very small seasons of rain and sun alternating every few weeks and the sunlight varies by about 1/2 hour either direction all year round so you get 12 hours of light and twelve hours of darkness damn near the whole year round. Life at the equator is great. If you want to find someplace hotter you just go to a lower altitude. To find someplace colder you just go someplace higher.

FL, US. So that comes with its own stack of shit. Three seasons here: Summer 95f(35c), not summer 70f(21c) and hurricane. I’ve only ever lived here but I’ve been on winter vacations and I’m just not good in the cold. The only thing that really separates the seasons here is the cities put lights on the palm trees. You can always spot the tourists during winter too, locals dress like it’s snowing if it’s at all close to 60f(15c) myself included.

I live in Australia, and I hate the lack of seasonal variation. Almost every day of the year is sunny with a varying temperature between 15C-45C, or overcast/humid. On the west coast, it rains a whole lot in winter. Visually there aren't a whole lot of environmental changes, and as an Aussie, the year is generally split into "too hot, less hot, cold, less cold, and repeat."

I get the appeal of seasonal stability to those in the northern hemisphere, but live here long enough, and you'll probably miss the way the passage of time seems to pass when each quarter of the year brings with it refreshing scenery and liveliness.

I've always wanted to live in a country that experiences and celebrates the changes of the seasons and all the visual beauty it brings, and truth be told, Aussie culture and pastimes don't appeal to me at all. I feel very alone here.

I wouldn't know. Usually I live in a place with minimal seasonal variation but over the past two or three years the weather here has been so freaking bonkers I don't know what to expect in the next few days let alone the next few month (thanks climate change)

I live somewhere where our temperature hardly fluctuates at all and we have two seasons wet and dry.

I hate it, although do enjoy knowing that the temperature wont change throughout the dayy more then 10 degrees on an extreme day.

Wake up 28 degrees middle of the day 36 then back down to 28.

But fuck the humidity

I live in a sub tropical zone. We still get distinct seasons, but not as extreme as many places in the world.

For me, I love it. I hate winter, I hate cold weather. And the fact that nothing freezes, it never snows, and that on warm winters days, I can still go for a swim, or out to the park without adding 16 layers of clothes is something that I value a great deal!

I know people get use to where they live but I was in Australia once in my life during winter season and it just never felt like christmas

Christmas is in the middle of summer in Australia, so even if you're further south in Australia, where the seasons are more distinct, it's still never going to feel like a northern hemisphere winter Christmas.
