Question

and which is your favourite that you wish will last for a long time?
It's either sunny or rain over here...and I love that weather.

Answer 1

Interestingly, there are two ways to define the seasons.

The solar method depends on the tilt of the axis of the earth's rotation relative to the plane of its orbit around the sun. This results in a change in day length during the year, at higher than tropical latitudes. There are four specific boundary points: the winter solstice, when the daylight period is shortest and the dark period the longest, the spring equinox, when day and night are of equal duration in single 24 hour period, the summer solstice, when the daylight period is longest and the night-time period is shortest, and the fall equinox, when, again, the day and night periods are of equal duration. These events bound the solar seasons. From winter solstice to spring equinox is "winter", from spring equinox to summer solstice is "spring", from summer solstice to fall equinox is "summer", and from fall equinox to winter solstice is "autumn." These days occur on same date all over the world, with the confusing fact that the seasons below the equator are the opposite of those above the equator - boreal winter is austral summer, and vice versa. The dates of solstices and equinoxes are the same, but the axis tilt is opposite - when the tilt is away at the top it is toward at the bottom, so the during the period when the arctic has no sunrise the antarctic has no sunset.

The climatic seasons do not match the solar seasons exactly, because there is a lag in atmospheric heating and cooling compared to day length. There is also the direct cooling effect of latitude, higher latitudes having shorter warm seasons and longer cold seasons. At arctic and antarctic latitudes, winter weather seems to last for six months, starting in mid-autumn, and continuing to mid-spring, whereas summer weather lasts maybe one or two months, during the short period when there is no sunset and no night.

I live in Arizona, where there seem to be only three climate seasons, not four - winter rainy season, spring, and summer rainy season. The only places in Tucson that actually have real winters are at high elevations, where there is skiing for a couple of months around January and February. My favorite time is the spring dry season, when temperatures run up to over 100 for daily highs - I did not move to Arizona to be wet or cold, but to be hot and dry.

Answer 2

According to the calendar - spring, summer, autumn and winter. According to the weather there's two seasons - 'summer' when it's warm and sunny and 'not summer' when it's cool and wet.

Winter has almost become a thing of the past, there's been no real snowfall here for many years now. The last time there was heavy snow was right at the end of 1995. I go up to Scotland several times a year and the one thing you could be sure of was plenty of snow in the hills in the winter months but these last few years have been nothing compared to what it used to be.

I love the snow - skiing, snowboarding, snowmen, snowball fights and wish there was more of it. I also love the hot weather as well. My favourite is when it's pleasantly warm - 20 to 25 Celsius is good.

Well, living in the northern hemisphere, it's spring here, to be followed by summer, autumn and winter. Spring has always been my favourite season, but this one is unusually warm, over 20 degrees C by 8:30 AM, today. I may have to reconsider my favourite and change it to autumn.
