4 seasons

Malaysia

Do you stay in a country where there are 4 seasons in year? If you do, which is your favourite season? Spring, summer, autumn or winter? What do you associate each different season with? For me, I stay in Malaysia whereby the weather is hot the whole year round and I do not experience any change of season here. I do wish to experience the 4 different seasons. For me, summer is an enjoyable and relaxing season; spring is normally associated with romance; autumn is associated with sadness and winter is associated with beautiful landscapes. I guess I would need to travel to different countries at different times of a year to experience these 4 different seasons. Do you prefer to stay in a country that is hot or cold the whole year round or you prefer to stay in a country with 4 seasons?

Hi liumay88. Spring is my favorite. Spring reminds of freshness, new life, longer days. Summer--swimming, barbeques Autumn--more comfortable than summer, at least the first part, beautiful colors in the leaves. Days get shorter though. Winter--cold, heating bills, and I prefer spring. I think I could adjust where it stays hot all year. Preference would be simply warmer all year, like much of the weather in May.

We have 4 seasons in Norway, but it doesn't always feel like it is summer, autumn, winter and spring. Sometimes it feels like green winter, wet winter, real winter and winter with more light than the real winter. I think I would go slightly crazy if it was warm all year, I don't really like temperatures over 25 degrees Celsius, at least not when it is humid. Plus it is something with the changing of the seasons that brings a variety that you wouldn't get if it was only hot and sunny.

I live where there are four seasons and I enjoy each one. Each season has it's charms. Spring is new and fresh and exciting with things beginning to grow again. There's nothing quite like bright new shoots of flowers and trees. Summer can be hot and sultry, but it's a season of relaxation and being able to grow food and have more daylight to enjoy the world. Autumn is special, too. I don't see it as sad, but it's exciting in its own way. The world changes from green on green to bright colors as leaves turn and autumn flowers bloom. The first frost is awesome to see. It makes designs on windows and turns flowers black. The air is crisp and clean and apples and things like that are so good afterwards. Then comes winter. I love winter. It's fresh and bright. Snow falling is soothing and makes one appreciate a warm coat or a fire to warm oneself by. My favorite holidays come in the winter and that helps, too. As winter wears on, the snow and cold become more tiresome, and then spring creeps in and the cycle continues.

I live in a country where we have four seasons. Actually I prefer it this way. Having the same weather all year round would probably be boring for me. In my country we have very hot summers and very cold winters. That is why my favorite seasons are spring and autumn because its never too hot or too cold during these seasons.

HI! I live in Bulgaria and we also have four seasons, but with this Global warming I think we will have only 2 or 3 after several years. The winter gets more and more warmer and i don't like it!

I live in my home country and I enjoy traveling to other countries in the world. My home country has a temperate climate. It is winter from December to February, spring from March to May, summer from June to August and autumn from September to November. My favorite season is summer because of the warm to hot weather and the long light evenings. In summer I like to do lots of enjoyable activities outdoors like spend time at the seaside and go on picnics in the countryside. I like spring because in it I see new growth on trees, pretty flowers and baby animals. I don't like autumn as much because of the cooler temperatures. However I like to see the golden leaves. I am not at all fond of winter. It is too cold for my liking. I do like to see a snowy scene though because it is picturesque. I have visited tropical countries where there are two seasons. One season is hot and wet and the other season is hot and dry. I love those sorts of places and I feel happy in the warm to hot sunshine. I love to watch sunsets in places like that. The sky turns orange before it goes black. I have visited countries that have a Mediterranean climate like in Italy and Greece. I like it from May to October in such places. That is spring, summer and autumn. I visited Switzerland and Austria one winter. It was very cold and snowy.

I live in the UK and some would say fortunate to experience 4 seasons, although for me I would say unfortunate because 2 of which I like and 2 well I don't really like. For me I love Autumn and Winter because it's cooler at that time of year, more barable and of course more cuddly. Plus with the colder weather comes the beautiful landscapes, the husky autumnal colours followed by the minimalism of winter skylines. There is a beauty in a snow cover garden and the various brids coming to feed, although I would love it if they could get the roads cleared in the UK when the snow arrives. At the opposite end you have spring and summer, the hot weather which I dislike because I associate it with frustrating long hot days, hot sticky nights, buzzing insects and the onset of hayfever. All things which I really dislike. Hopefully one day I will move to a country which has a cooler climate all year round, lol.

I live in Brazil and here we have 4 seasons. I consider that's always hot here but we can realize some changes. Summer is so hot and rains so much. In summer we have temperatures about 40 degrees!!!!!! Spring is flowers station. Spring is hot too but not so hot. In this period all threes have flowers!!!!!! Autumn is the station where hot isn't so present. We have some cold and threes lose their leafes!!!!!! We have temperatures about 29 degrees. In winter we have cold and not much rain. Rain in winter is so difficult. We have cold and temperatures about 20 degrees. THe seasons occur in respective order: Summer (12/23 to 03/22), Autumn (03/23 to 06/22), Winter (06/23 to 09/22), and Spring (09/23 to 12/22).

I live in China.Here have four seasons,and the four seasons are clear. I like autumn,for it not so hot or cold.The weather just right.and it is the season of harvest.It makes many people smile and joy.and then you will feel autumn is peace and quiet,the sky is blue and clean.slightly sometimes you can hear the chirp of birds,it is a wonderful sign. of course winter is beautiful.when it snows,you will feel it is romantic,and everywhere is white, it is great.

I am from China and there are four seasons here. My favorite season is summer because I am afraid of the cold weather in winter. I don't mind the hot temperature. Everything will be much more convenient in summer. And I can have more outdoor activities. If it is possible, perhaps having one summer in a year will be ideal for me:) I love China

I live in the United States and yes we have four seasons here. My favorite season is summer. I love the hot weather. There is so much you can do in the summer. You can go to the beach, go swimming, go to an amusement park, the park, anything. My least favorite season is the spring. The temperature is okay but where i live it rains a lot in the spring and there are a lot of really bad storms. I do not like storms. Fall is an okay season too. It is very pretty watching the leaves turn different colors. I do not like cold weather at all so winter is a little to cold for me.
