When do your "meteorological" 4 seasons begin and end? Let's use this for winter: the coldest 25% of the year. And summer is the warmest 25% of the year....and Fall/Spring is the time in between. I'm gonna use the town I used to live in as an example:



Coldest time of the year: 39F/ Jan 6-17th
Warmest Time of the year: 81F/ July 14-30th

Winter: 50F to 39F to 50F/ Nov 19-Mar 8th/ Lasts 109 days

Spring: 50F to 71F/ March 9th-May 24th/ Lasts 76 days

Summer: 71F to 81F to 71F/ May 25th-Sep 21st/ Lasts 119 days

Fall: 71F to 50F/ Sep 22nd-Nov 18th/ Lasts 57 days


I hope this makes sense......

It's good you quoted four seasons; Seattle only has two.

Coldest time of the year: Jan 4-6 (46F), highs circa 45F
Warmest time of the year: early August, highs circa 78F

Summer (a.k.a. Construction):
Start: Highly variable. Starts any time from late May to early July.
End: Also highly variable. Ends any time from early September to mid-October.
70F to 78F to 70F

Gray (a.k.a. Winter, Wet):
The rest of the year.
70F to 45F to 70F

i think i better make an actual contribution here aswell lol

Melbourne

Summer: Starts late December, lasts up til mid march these days. February is often cold though, so that classyfiers as autumn.

Autumn: stars mid march, ends abruptly on May 1. February is Autumn due to it being the coldest month of summer.

Winter: Starts May 1, lasts up till the end of September
Spring: Stars October, ends late December.

that's how it feels like anyway.

Nov-May is rain,cloudy with breaks once in a while. Temps run average low 39 to highs 60 degrees. Sometime during June summer usually starts. Some clouds with afternoon wind lows 50's to highs about 72 degrees. It's nice all the way until November hits with the rain clouds again.

I hope that makes sense. I'm trying to explain the years cycle.

Ok, I'll play. The only problem is that my weather is very inconsistent from year to year.

Spring~April and May (except this year)

Summer~June, July, August, and half of Sept. (except this year)

Autumn~Last half of Sept, Oct., Nov., Dec., Jan., Feb., Mar.

Why am I still here?
