Favourite time of the year - climate wise

[Walter John]

For me, it is starting right now here in South East Queensland, that is, late summer to mid autumn. Great growing times, great days, great sunsets, the blue sky looks bluest, the general colour of everything looks grand.

What's your favorite time of the year ?

Same Wal. From here as we move into March, the garden has had time to recover from any winter issues, the humidity and chance of rainfall rises from March on, yet the days and nights are still warm to hot, yet we're past the hottest part by March. March is marginally warmer than December for us, so is still very summery and warm. By April we have very pleasant weather and it's still warm with the odd bit of rain here and there, hopefully.

Best regards

Wet season is the time..... anytime after December until March, when there is no La Nina... This La Nina is annoying me!!

It all depends on what I am doing and what I have planned. Winter is my time for major renovations/landscaping when it isn't too hot to do the heavy work. Generally though I find autumn to be a nice time of year where it isn't too hot and I can enjoy the garden at its full glory.

I'm in the Northern Hemisphere, but this is my favorite time of year, in terms of comfort for me (NOT my palms, which look terrible), July...yuck!

For human comfort, autumn is more comfortable and the extension of summer heat for palms. Humidity levels drop appreciably by late September even though actual temperatures can stay high into October. If extremely dry air and high winds occur than palm trees can suffer [especially during heat waves] but overall growth continues strongly into early winter and the trees are at their fullest.

May, June, and July are my favorite months in Costa Rica. May marks the beginning of the rainy season but during those first few months the days start off sunny, then it turns cloudy in the afternoon and the rain normally comes late in the day or at night.

Late March-April are great here... clear blue skies.....not a breath of wind around....

Easily my favourite time of year.

Early spring Feb-Mar. It's planting season and I get to see all the dormant plants spring to life! Plus the days are getting longer.

I like the transition phase from the dry season to the wet season which normally happens in November and December. I am in the peak of the rainy season right now. And, although the temperatures are cooler it is cloudy a lot and the rain can make a mess of the city. The transition from the rainy season to the dry season May and June is nice too. There are more sunny days but they are followed by rain.

Lucky you, Don... the transition from dry to wet in Darwin is like hell on earth... literally!!! HOT HOT HOT, HUMID HUMID HUMID & no rain in sight (or if there is very localised thunder storm)!!! That is why I don't recommend anyone who can't stand the heat & humidity not to travel to Darwin during that time (Sept-Nov).... Once the rain starts more regularly in December, that is when it is cooler & everything turns lush green.

October is the best month in San Francisco. The wind calms down, the days are often clear and warm, and our first significant rain falls. Even the waning light is picturesque, especially combined with languid balmy days.
