I’d expect the shortest day of the year to also be the coldest, with the coldest season of the year spreading out equally on both sides of it.

      Seasons of Bergen, Norway:

      December - February: Cold and dark and wet season. Stock up on antidepressants, good food, “Hygge”-paraphenelia, asthma medication and remain indoors.

      March - mid-July: Cold and green season.

      Mid-July: Summer!!!

      Mid-July - August: “pretend it is still summer”-season. Yes, we can grill and drink beer in the garden dammit just put on an extra jacket.

      September: Wet and windy season.

      October - November: Soggy cold season. Shoes and jackets go to the Drying Rack, not on the regular rack.

      addenum: june-august is also barely-nighttime season. Sun “goes down” at 22:00 and remains barely under the horizon until 04:00 so the sky just stays bright. Good luck explaining to your toddler that it is night and time to sleep.

        Seasons in Texas:

        June 5-October 25th: fuck you it’s 100+° F / 38° C. Most non-native plants die if they receive direct sunlight all day. It’s 85°F / 30°C at night.

        October 26th - December 10th: fuck you it’s 90° F / 32° C but also 40°F / 5°C in the morning; you’d better have 2 sets of clothes for the day

        Dec 11th - Feb 28th: actually decent weather

        March 1st - May 1: it’s getting hotter but also raining a lot so it’s muggy but the weather is still tolerable sometimes

        May 2 - June 4: Hot and humid, sensory nightmare, air outside feels like your lungs have been filled with a damp blanket. 95+% humidity at all times.

      Seasons of Lahore, Pakistan (imo):

      • Mid-December to February: chilly weather, often between 4-15 degrees Celsius, pretty mild compared to the rest of the year
      • March: first spring, plants are noticeably becoming more alive, flowers are blooming, but temperatures are rapidly increasing. Around this time I set my heat pump to cooling mode
      • April to July: first part of summer, very dry, heatwaves start to happen. Temperature is around 28-40 degrees usually
      • July to early September: second part of summer, around as hot as the first part but monsoons start to happen
      • September: second spring, ofc similar to the first but temperatures start to drop.
      • Mid-September to November: the smoggy season. Pretty moderate temperatures (10-25 degrees), but there is way too much air pollution. A lot of it is due to farmers burning their stalks around this time. I set my heat pump to heating mode around the latter half of this season
