I live south of Tucson, Arizona USA, and last summer we had temperatures exceeding 50º C!!  

Evenings are pleasant, but during daylight, it is deadly.  Our winter was just fine, no snow unlike nearly the rest of the bloody States.

If I lived in a climate where the winters were more 'interesting' my choice may be different, but in southern England, winters are generally relatively mild and very wet, which is just depressing. There's very little snow, just black skies, rain and mud wherever you go.
So basically BC. LOL

Summer by far. I love the long days (up to 16h44m at Summer Solstice on my latitude) and the warm temperatures, even though some heatwaves, as we had in 2019 and 2020, are a bit too much. I like the sights of fresh snow and skating people, such as we had in February, as well, but they cannot compete.

After working outside for over 40 years i can say that Spring and Autumn are definately my favourites.. Winter (which as has already been said, is not a real Winter in the southern UK, just dark, damp and dismal) has screwed up my joints (no, not those sorts of joints.. they got screwed a long time ago..) and lungs and summer (lovely as it is, when its lovely) has just given me dehydration and melanoma..Wink

f**k summer man.. and for those that like it... live here man.. you'll come to hate it as passionately as I do..

fall - fits my mental state for the last 30 odd years... . but winter is coming for me.. soon i suspect

spring  - (used to be further down.. but live in the DC area for a year ands see all those smart young women with brains break out the heels and skirts. wooo hooo.. heads on swivels man.. and you will come to love spring..




winter - I'm tired man... and nothing says a long cold rest like winter




and way down.. summer... unless Raff takes me up on my implied wish to retire to f**king Finland...

ThisClap. I hate the summer with a passion, and can't wait for it to be over once it's upon us. Winter all the way, though my favourite season is autumn (fall).

All morbidity aside, winter for me. I miss the snow - one part that sucks about where I live right now.

For some, winter’s approach begets a lower mood, but the scientific literature says that we’re quicker or more neurologically efficient in winter. What’s going on?

Winter - only because its so cold that I sleep better. It's also much quieter when there's 2 feet of snow, -15 F.

I always prefer sleeping in cold weather too. Though, I can sleep easily and comfortably; unless there's some extremely hot weather, or cold weather and I don't have enough stuff to cover my body.

Almost extremely hot today, first time this year. Be sure that I'm cherishing (!) the moment...

It's been freezing here for days. And I love that. This period has been even colder than the winter days.

I don’t like the cold, which makes this poll easy to answer.

Ideally, I’d live somewhere with only temperatures between 10-30° C. 30 is too hot in the long run, but periods in the summer is fine. 20-25° C is perfect.

Snow is not something I’m particularly thrilled about either. All my favorite activities are done in the summer half.

The lack of sun in the winter is not helping either. The best part about winter is sitting indoors playing video games or drinking wine.

Weather-wise, i prefer cold weather (winter), as it doesn’t get horribly cold where I live and only occasionally snows. But on the other hand I get very depressed in the winter because the holidays drain you a bit.

Summer…I think…but then again I am very grateful to live in a country that actually experiences 4 seasons.
Judging by my viking-like stature my fave should probably be winter as I hardly ever feel cold…but I love the summer. Almost like an explosion of life (with way less clothes on!).
