The concept that somewhere can have two or three seasons is a fallacy. To get from one season to another, you have to have a transition period. So it's theoretically impossible to have two or three seasons.
If your logic is that there must be a transition season, then what about the transitions between summer and fall or any other season? I mean really what's the difference between late summer and early fall? For us, our seasons are pretty well defined in 3 month units. October is technically a transition time, but the weather can be quite stable. It's not like we're suddenly dropping into winter every single day. It is its own definite season with weeks of similar weather.
Now, this weather we have in October (mid fall) is full of 70 degree days and low humidity and low precip. Basically what central and south Florida have for "winter". But, our summers are fairly similar. Hot, humid airmass, lot of thunderstorms, although they are much hotter and more humid than us. Our transition into occurs when that warm humid airmass finally recedes south. Early Fall has a lot of days in the 80s but with dry weather and dewpoints down below 60. This usually occurs in early/mid September but happens much later to the south. For Miami, you're talking maybe October or November and indeed the avg rainfall drops from over 6 inches in Oct to just over 3 in Nov. After that they get our fall but lasting all winter. Our "transition" season is what they get for about half the year so I just don't see what their "transition" would be.
There is no winter in Trebinje, in my opinion. What are you think?
There is no winter in izmit, either. We have a very warm winter with a lot of rainfall. I see the climate of my city as 3 season climate. It snows for 3 days in January, then it is over. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%B0zmit
three months? Phoenix has 5 months with excessive warmth! in both day and night temps
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Málaga#Climate I don't know if Malaga has 2 or 3 seasons, we can count from november to april as spring but we have a fall too as the fall is where most of the rain falls. What is clear is that we don't have any winter, for the local people they have a winter as they dress with heavy jackets when it's 15c outside. They don't know that back home those are may temps.
