Depends on how you define each season. For example, to some "winter" requires consistent snow cover and subfreezing 24hr average temps. To others, "winter" is any time it is too cold to wear shorts and t-shirt and go to the beach.
Fall - Early September to mid October - 40s/50s/60s for highs, 20s/30s/40s for lows
Winter - Mid October to mid/late April - -0s/0s/10s/20s/30s for highs, -10s/-0s/0s/10s/20s for lows
Spring - Early May to late May/early June - 40s/50s/60s/70s for highs, 20s/30s/40s/50s for lows
Summer - Early June to Late August - 50s/60s/70s/80s for highs, 40s/50s for lows
Early September is probably the "nicest" time of year. May's awesome too though.
The seasons in Vancouver, BC go something like this I would say in a normal year:
Fall - Mid September to end of November - this is the time when the rains return and the leaves change colours and fall off of the deciduous trees. Temps range from about 60F for highs to 30F for lows.
Winter - Beginning of December to end of February - this is cool and rainy with the occasional snowfall. Generally no leaves on the trees at all. Temps range from about 45F for highs to 15F for lows.
Spring - Beginning of March to beginning of June - It's still cool and showery except that there are things in bloom now. Temps range from about 60F for highs to 35F for lows.
Summer - Middle of June to middle of September - It's fairly sunny and warmish with the odd stray shower but fairly dry overall throughout the summer. Temps range from about 80F for highs to 50F for lows.
So, as you can see spring and fall are generally the longest seasons here with short summers and winters.
I live in Palermo, Italy.
The Winter starts in December and ends in marzo.The winter is a season with fairly frequent rains and snow in the mountains above 1300-1400 meters.
