Indigenous Australians and other cultures have more than four seasons as well, and for the former it depends on where you live on the continent also. https://www.csiro.au/en/research/indigenous-science/Indigeno...

For anyone who has been to Darwin and also to Melbourne, you totally get why. Melbourne says "what a chilly winter" while Darwin says, what winter? Melbournites look forward to it drying out near Jan, and Darwin prepares for monsoon season. Perhaps an equivalent is being to Whistler and to Miami. Same continent, different seasons.

All that is just really to say, it's fun to be in tune with your local climate, and for most people, the 4 seasons are kind of a convenience but not that accurate.

Darwin to Melbourne is about 3,100km. My location in SE Canada it can be -25C with 1m snow, 100km/h winds meanwhile 2,700km in Miami it's a balmy 30C.
