Rainy and cold weather is way better than hot and sunny. I love when it gets dark early in the winter time and chilling at home in my pajamas with the windows open.
I do too. And it creates fresher air after rain (and wind). I think it is just so intense having bright sun, day in day out...and cloudiness allows for a softer view. As I must have said a while back here, it does have a positive affect upon me. I grew up part of the time in a resort area having colder temperatures and snow, fresh air...I always enjoyed it.
I think I also have reverse SAD. I despise hot, dry and sunny summers, but I don't mind sunny day in winter.
Luckily I live in Saint-Petersburg, where hot and dry weather is rare.
Seasonal Affective Disorder is associated with emotional changes, usually increased depression associated with the "winter" however there are also some biorhythms that are being questioned as some mental health disorders, which have a strong biological component, become worse without explanation during certain months of the year. For instance Bipolar patients sometimes have a particularly hard time in Spring and Fall.
So if you are one of those who sees the beauty in gray rainy colder days, and not so much the hot sunny days, that doesn't mean you have "reverse" SAD which is not a recognized diagnosis but maybe should be. There are many reasons people don't like summer, like the heat, humidity, bugs, living in A/C, cost, crowds at vacation destinations, etc etc etc.
"Winter" aint so much like winter anymore, more a season of extremes. But if you stop and take a look at the cloud formations, observe the activity of water when it rains, enjoy snow, enjoy feeling the cool/cold breezes, watch bird migration when winter approaches, etc., you can appreciate and possibly prefer the winter season, compared to the hot, sunny days of summer. Some people start getting depressed in the fall because they know winter is coming, but also from a variety of other reasons, like the approaching holiday season which many people abhor, or maybe their outdoor activity preferences occur in nice weather and winter means more indoor time. It's all very personal and if you like/prefer winter over other seasons, you're certainly not alone and it doesn't mean you have a mental disorder.

I understand that. My favourite season is fall, but I alsp like spring. I don't like extreme cold (<-20°C) or extreme heat (>30°C). I burn easily and I want to have low UV index.
