Comment on Why does the winter solstice mark the beginning of winter, and not the center?
mayhair@discuss.tchncs.de 5 days agoSeasons of Lahore, Pakistan (imo):
- Mid-December to February: chilly weather, often between 4-15 degrees Celsius, pretty mild compared to the rest of the year
- March: first spring, plants are noticeably becoming more alive, flowers are blooming, but temperatures are rapidly increasing. Around this time I set my heat pump to cooling mode
- April to July: first part of summer, very dry, heatwaves start to happen. Temperature is around 28-40 degrees usually
- July to early September: second part of summer, around as hot as the first part but monsoons start to happen
- September: second spring, ofc similar to the first but temperatures start to drop.
- Mid-September to November: the smoggy season. Pretty moderate temperatures (10-25 degrees), but there is way too much air pollution. A lot of it is due to farmers burning their stalks around this time. I set my heat pump to heating mode around the latter half of this season

Why call it 2nd spring? I though the more used name is autumn

In the video, the creator (talking about the seasons where they live, in Southern Coastal California) states that instead of saying “spring” and “autumn”, they call both seasons “nice”, because they are indistinguishable. I’m using the same rationale, basically.
