What season is your city most associated with? (climate, tornado, snow)

For instance, Perth is mostly associated with summer (hot, clear skies), as is say Los Angeles, somewhere in New England with Fall, London with winter, as is say Moscow, and Spring in Paris or Tokyo. Probably a silly question, but is your climate 'typified' in the popular imagination by a season?

Autumn/fall here in NW England. What with the gloom, generally damp and cool atmosphere. London (at least to me) wouldn't be typified as a winter type climate, maybe early spring would be better considering the temperatures and general dryness.

Gloom, cloud, rain, Europe. Pretty much anything to do with winter. Infact, almost everyone here wears black trench coats in winter. Goes well with the sky.

Every other mainland capital is associated with summer, sunshine and the beach.

Says it all really

Winter (definitely an exaggeration).

I think footy also has something to do with it. The footy season is mostly in winter and Melbourne is often the focus. I actually think of Melbs as being something of a 'Spring' city with the Grand Final and Spring Carnival/Melbourne Cup happening. Also the garden displays.

Leeds isn't associated with any season.

It's in northern England so is associated with rain, snow, cold and possibly the odd tornado.

When I think of Melbourne I think of four seasons in one day, hot sunshine one minute, golf hail the next.

Hmm... never thought of it that way, with cities having cultural depiction/association with seasons.

I guess it'd most likely be winter (most peoples' perspective).

From other Canadian cities' perspective, summer (associated with hot "muggy" weather but only relative to other cities in the country).

Nice - summer, mostly. The whole French Riviera is famous for its sunny summer weather, beaches, etc. and that's when tourists from all over Europe come here.

However centuries ago Nice was very popular among English people and Russians for its mild winter weather and crisp blue skies. Nice's famous coastal promenade is called "Promenade des Anglais" (English Promenade) because its construction was initiated by Englishmen who spent all their winters in Nice.
For the same reasons, the presence of many Russians in Nice, all of them attracted by the city's winter weather, led to the construction of the largest Russian Orthodox cathedral in the world outside Russia, in Nice.

So it's interesting that the city's two most famous landmarks 1) are not French 2) were built by communities attracted by Nice's mild sunny winters...

So, for Nice, I'd say that nowadays the city is usually associated with summer, but historically, winter.
