Interesting cultural difference on what is "nice" weather.

For me, a good city should have seasonality, that is the "joy of life". The changing of the seasons and the cycle through life is what makes me happy. Snowy winter days, the springtime change, endlessly long summer days, and the first cool autumn breeze as the colours change.




Part of the problem of where I live is the seasons of Winter and Summer seem to be extending and the time for Spring and Fall (The best seasons) appear to be shrinking.


100% agreed. I enjoy cold winter with proper snow (~ -10°C), mild spring and autumn with rains and thunderstorms (~ 10-20°C), and summer that doesn't get too hot (ideally not too many days above 30°C). I really can't stand regions that only have one or two seasons and very little change or "gray months".


I have friend and colleagues in Singapore, which they describe as having two seasons: rainy and dry. They alternate every 15 minutes or so.

After some years, yes, many miss the seasons very much.


Agreed. The dark and snowy times bring a certain coziness I wouldn't want to miss.
