How does it feel living in a country with minimal seasonal variation? (lemmy.world)

I ask this because I live in a country with the classic seasonal variation most peoples mind comes to if you say seasons (spring, summer, autumn, winter).

I enjoy the variety in activities and I am always happy once a season ends and a new one comes with new activities and especially vegies and fruits that come along that season.

Here in Germany I am always hyped for the next season to start and I enjoy all of them. Spring in April comes with Asparagus, Rhubarb, later on strawberries, ... summer with fresh pears, cherries etc.

I could go on.

And not only speaking of food, also activities. Swimming in Summer, hiking in Autumn, Snowboarding in Winter, cycling and hiking in spring, swimming and stand up paddeling in summer and so on the cycle repeats every three to four months new activities.

I have been to SEA a lot and I like it there too but I couldn't imagine a life without the seasons and I couldn't imagine living in a place where it's either dry season, wet season and so on.

Edit: I know people get use to where they live but I was in Australia once in my life during winter season and it just never felt like christmas. It always felt weird. I need the cold and rainy or snowy days here in Germany to make it feel like "winter, christmas".

I live in a sub tropical zone. We still get distinct seasons, but not as extreme as many places in the world.

For me, I love it. I hate winter, I hate cold weather. And the fact that nothing freezes, it never snows, and that on warm winters days, I can still go for a swim, or out to the park without adding 16 layers of clothes is something that I value a great deal!

Christmas is in the middle of summer in Australia, so even if you're further south in Australia, where the seasons are more distinct, it's still never going to feel like a northern hemisphere winter Christmas.
