> No noticeable changes along the whole year, I'm sorry.

It does sound kind of unpleasant, but I imagine you get used to it.



Yes, we get used to it, not unpleasant for me, at all.

But it changes the way you live. Compared with lives of friends from Europe, I notice that theirs has a bit more of a "structure" and predictability. E.g., hang out more in the summer, doing more reading and writing more in the winter.

I think I would enjoy that. Of course I could plan my life based in months instead of seasons, but it's not the same, especially considering that people around me wouldn't be following that same plan.


Consistent year-round temperatures is something I thought I'd want right up until I experienced it for a while. Turns out I like having the variety of seasons. I love snow, but not all year. I love the leaves falling, but not all year. I love Spring thunderstorms, but not all year. I even love 110F heat waves, but I'm glad when Fall arrives :).


I grew up in the Midwest and lived in SF and LA for a few years each. I definitely missed the seasons changing and appreciated them even more moving back to the Midwest. Lack of seasons really messed with my sense of time, like: "Oh that thing we did last month...oh woah that was six months ago??"


You can come back to the SF area. Thanks to climate change, we have four seasons now:

Not enough rain / sunny and 50 F

Sunny and 70F; green plants

Sunny and 90-105 F; brown plants

Red Skies, ??? F; black plants / red embers
