Rank the four seasons from your favourite to your least favourite. What puts each one where it is?

B Natural answer

My ranking would be spring first, autumn second, summer third, and winter last. Spring feels like the year is waking up, and I love the mix of flowers, lighter clothes, and clear skies. Autumn comes next because the temperatures are comfortable and the evenings feel calm. I especially enjoy sitting outside when there are cooler evenings after a long day. Summer is still enjoyable, but it drops lower because the heat can be exhausting, and I’m not great with humidity. Winter ends up last for a simple reason: I don’t like short days and constant grey weather. I find it harder to stay active when it’s dark early. So for me, the best seasons are the ones that make it easy to get outside and do normal everyday things.
