I ask this because I live in a country with the classic seasonal variation most peoples mind comes to if you say seasons (spring, summer, autumn, winter).
I enjoy the variety in activities and I am always happy once a season ends and a new one comes with new activities and especially vegies and fruits that come along that season.
Here in Germany I am always hyped for the next season to start and I enjoy all of them. Spring in April comes with Asparagus, Rhubarb, later on strawberries, … summer with fresh pears, cherries etc.
I could go on.
And not only speaking of food, also activities. Swimming in Summer, hiking in Autumn, Snowboarding in Winter, cycling and hiking in spring, swimming and stand up paddeling in summer and so on the cycle repeats every three to four months new activities.
I have been to SEA a lot and I like it there too but I couldn’t imagine a life without the seasons and I couldn’t imagine living in a place where it’s either dry season, wet season and so on.
Edit: I know people get use to where they live but I was in Australia once in my life during winter season and it just never felt like christmas. It always felt weird. I need the cold and rainy or snowy days here in Germany to make it feel like “winter, christmas”.
You are one of the three or so first generations of humanity to ever live in a world with air conditioning, not to mention dehumidifiers. I mean, can’t do the whole outside, but you can have a climate-controlled house, climate-controlled vehicle, and – depending upon what you do for work – possibly a climate-controlled workplace.
Sounds bad for the environment
The hotter it gets the more we use AC.
The more we use AC the hotter it gets.
It’s a vicious cycle.

The vicious cycle is Fat Bastard from Austin Powers, not Shrek.
Yes but both are Mike Myers doing the same accent and OP, the one I responded to, is describing living in a swamp.
Like mowing knotweed.
Sounds expensive
Air conditioning is a luxury much of the world can’t afford.
I would expect that OP probably can.
OP is German. Most Germans don’t have AC, in part due to higher electricity costs. It is most definitely considered a luxury.

OP goes to SEA (wherever that is ) and Australia, goes to sea during summer and to mountains during winter, every year.
No doubt he is a bourgeois and he can afford AC. But he doesn’t want it. He like the seasoning.
Also one of the first generations to see annual heat records broken back to back.
Sounds like a CIA psyop
