My choices:

Summer - best weather, vacations, my birthday!
Fall - OK weather at the beginning, Halloween, Thanksgiving, football, and the run-up to Christmas
Spring - improving weather but kind of boring
Winter - terrible weather, a little snow is nice, too much is a disaster; once New Years is over, nothing really going on

Fall is vibrant foliage and cozy layers, but it always feels cut short, it's essentially become an extension of Summer. Winter, however, is for the soul. I love the long nights and the holiday spirit; I just wish a white Christmas wasn't a thing of the past. Even though the "Snowpocalypse" this week made the commute a nightmare, seeing the world buried in white feels right. That's how Winter should be.

Spring used to be a favorite, but now it's just a game of weather whiplash, chilly one day and 30∘C (86∘F) the next. It's just another precursor to Summer, my least favorite season. I can't stand the heat or the constant sweating. My ideal Summer peaks at 25∘C (77∘F), but since that rarely happens, I'll just stick to the rainstorms.

I predicted you would rank them Winter, Autumn, Spring, Summer, so I guess I was off.

I like Fall and Winter almost equally, but the lack of snow made me appreciate Autumn a little more.

A Look Back: How Our Weather Used to Be

September used to carry the "taste" of Autumn in its first week. By the time school started on the 15th, we'd see the season's first morning frost, a rarity today. October was in full swing with plenty of rain and the occasional dusting of snow by Halloween. November was the month of perpetual fog. I remember it lasting for days on end, though now it's a rare sight. By month's end, the ground was always frozen solid.

December didn't always promise a "winter wonderland," but we usually had enough snow for snowmen and sledding. January held the title of the coldest month, followed by February which consistently brought fresh layers of snow. Even in March, the ice was thick enough for skating. April was known for lingering patches of snow at Easter, with the first hint of warmth only arriving at the very end. May was pleasantly warm, but never stifling.

As for June, July, and August, we had hot days, but the heat felt different then. Today, Summer feels like being an ant under a magnifying glass. I used to love the season back when we had three to five massive thunderstorms every month that would roll on all through the night.

Spring. My favorite. Especially after the snowy winter.

Summer. Longer days, beach trips, I get to make use of a walk in cooler when it's 105°.

Autumn. Love playoff baseball, and football.

Winter. No.

I went Autumn, Spring, Winter, Summer.
First two are bearable. winter doesn't get too cold for me, and summer is absolute Hell.

Winter here is better than summer.

Pretoria is built in a huge dip in the land so all the cold air rushes overhead during summer 🥵

In winter the early mornings are freezing, warm by 10 am and by 4 pm you're freezing your butt off again.

I asked AI

QuoteAcross many polls in Europe and North America, the ranking often looks like this:

1. Autumn

    Frequently the most popular.

    People love the cooler weather, changing leaves, cozy atmosphere, and holidays.

    Strong aesthetic appeal (colors, fashion, vibes).

2. Spring

    Often a close second.

    Associated with renewal, flowers, longer days, and mild temperatures.

    Popular with people who like warmth but not heat.

3. Summer

    Loved for vacations, long days, beaches, and outdoor activities.

    Also the most polarizing—some adore it, others dislike the heat.

4. Winter

    Usually the least popular overall.

    Still a favorite for people who love snow, holidays, and cozy indoor time.

    But cold, darkness, and travel issues push it down for many.

Climate: Someone in a hot region may love winter; someone in a cold region may crave summer.

Lifestyle: Students often love summer; hikers may prefer autumn; skiers love winter.

Aesthetic preference: Autumn and spring dominate because they're visually striking.

It does depend on where you live, too. When I lived in Vegas Summer wasn't my favorite, but I would still rank it ahead of Winter.

Autumn, Spring, Summer, Winter

Winter, Summer, Autumn, Spring

(omg. controversial. hot take alert. don't @ me)

Always liked those long autumn evenings. I'd go out for long walks in them and rarely see another person and it felt like just for a while, I was the only person in the world.

Very much so. Belgian winters are miserable. It is dark most of the time, it is uncomfortably cold and it rains a lot. You only get a couple of day of snow and clear crisp weather.
