What is your favourite season order?

Absolute favourite is Autumn. It's cooler, the cozy dark nights are all coming back to us. Crunchy leaves, candles, all the beautiful colours, excited little children running around trick or treating, crispy mornings, cold fresh air, hot chocolate, bubble baths, big coats, pretty fireworks and sparklers.

Winter. Most of the above but all white and wellies!

Spring. A bit of warmth finally returns and we can enjoy early morning walks again. The little ducklings on the canal. Bank Holidays. That's about it.

Summer. Shit. Hay fever, stifling heat, fluffy lank hair and looking like a sweaty miserable RAT.

Summer - love the light nights, holidays and warm/hot weather

December/Christmas - deserves to be a season of its own

Autumn - falling leaves, cosy evenings, fireworks

Spring - the end of winter and the promise of summer

January/February - cold, wet, miserable and feel like they go on for an eternity

Summer, Winter, Autumn, Spring. I find Spring extremely irritating.

hobbledyhoy · 26/06/2026 20:33

I always find this really hard to answer as I don’t have a favourite, I love them all equally.

Spring as it reminds me of me that life keeps emerging no matter what happen, lighter nights after winter, plants starting to unfurl.

summer, seeing the plants grow and flower with bees visiting. Warmth and lazy days.

Autumn, the beautiful colours and the trees changing.

Winter, brings cold bright days that are perfect for walks in the countryside, cosy nights in and drawing the curtains.

I love that the world changes every so often. I couldn’t bear to live in an eternal summer.

It's hard to decide between spring and summer as my favourite. I love the lighter and longer days of spring. It makes me feel hopeful. I love the warmth of summer but not this heatwave level of warmth mind! I guess I would say it's joint first place for spring and summer. Second place to autumn. I love the colours of autumn. There's something romantic to me about autumn, especially if it isn't too cold and wet. A mild autumn is perfect! I HATE winter. Cannot stress this enough.

Spring, summer, autumn, winter. I loathe Christmas with every bone in my body.

Edited

Me too. Can I ask why,? For me, it's to do with missing those who have passed away and the horrendous consumerism

GingerLeopard · 26/06/2026 21:55

Autumn, winter, spring, summer. I’m pale and ginger. Not made for summer!

Quarkkugel · 26/06/2026 22:30

This time of year I'd say autumn, spring, summer, winter but by February it's definitely spring, autumn, summer, winter. But by the end of every season I feel ready for the next (except for winter. There's no need for 3 more months of it after Christmas!)

winter: all white and wellies

Not sure where you live. Where I live in Winter, it's evening all day even at midday - no dawn or sunset because the sun is not visible for about 29 days straight; drizzle most of the day in between proper rain, mud, mud and more mud; stress over Christmas presents and making it all perfect whilst people yell at each other in car parks.

So yeah for me: summer, early autumn, spring, winter

Kickinthenostalgia · 26/06/2026 22:44

Spring, autumn, summer and winter.. I have a high heat intolerance so this weather has been double hell for me 🫠

Guidanceplease20 · 26/06/2026 22:46

Spring - just tips autumn because of days getting longer, a positive feel and spring flowers
Autumn - love autumn colours and temperatures but not losing light
Summer - live in a busy tourist town. Love the bustle, sea swimming and coast walks. Also sometimes dislike bustle too!
Winter - there are some beautiful days, and christmas. But I generally feel sadder in winter.

I am quite similar, but think summer has the slight edge. As it's also my birthday 😉

People have very short memories.
I read a post on another forum when the poster said she would rather have air conditioning than heating. I guess she woukd regret that in January!
Do all the posters saying summer is their least favourite season think they would say the same on a freezing cold and wet November day?

Yup!
