Mainly rate it from the perspective of your own climate, but of course you can take into account how better climates can have seasonal lag fitting better in. For me, I'll go with D- for my climate and B for very good climates such as Madeira, where the lag on lower latitudes helps out in lowering temperatures in the sun when the sun strength is at its peak. For example, even a low-70° sun strength in Madeira in May doesn't feel intimidating at all compared to Lisbon's higher temps in late June when I also experienced similar sun angles.
So, overall grade for me would be a neutral C-.
In my climate and on northerly latitudes, the biggest issue is that it gets almost perpetually dark due to the lag in December, which is definitely an issue. When the daylight emerges again in March, it instead is frustratingly cold on many occasions.

F. I'm always waiting for the season to change long after light conditions have changed. November and March are particularly bad.

I quite like a mild late summer/early autumn, but I hate seasonal lag in the late winter/spring. Some climates have the former without the latter, some have both. I'll vote a C overall.

F, what's the point in saving some of the best summer weather for when much of the light has been lost?

I love when December is the coldest month of the year, and February is a lot warmer than January, and I don't like it when September, October and November are warmer than May, April and March. PNW is absolutely perfect from November to March. Ideally, I'd like slow-cooling fall, with a drastic drop between November and December like in San Rafael, California, except with a quicker warmup between March and June. I'd much rather have Quesnel, BC's temp pattern over that of Moscow or Truro, NS. |

PNW is absolutely perfect from November to March. Yeah, late-autumn seasonal lag is horrible, in summer I can be alright with it. If I'm going to live in a humid continental climate I'd go a step further than even that and want December to be the coldest month. In climates like Madeira and Tenerife it doesn't matter too much if the late autumn is being warmer than early spring. Completely temp-dependent for me. |

B-/C+, i really enjoy it in late summer and autumn but spring pisses me off when you've got 12 hour days in late september and average the same as may. Still i love the warmth we get in march and early april so i'd say it's got more positives than negatives.

E. I hate it when we get cold, snowy Marches that are basically an extension of winter and February is often the coldest month. That SUCKS! It can be nice in September and October though giving us warm, sunny weather.

F– in summer; D– in winter (due to more snow & fun which is a treat nowadays, as absurd as it sounds)! I still want my four seasons, however.
Overall, I'd give it an E+ as a mid-way point. I don't mind March warmth in the slightest.

F; it's awful. Not that it would be cool in autumn here anyways but it's frustrating how warm autumn is compared to spring here. And August being the hottest summer month sucks ass. And we don't have seasonal lag in winter so it makes winter feel really short compared to summer (which is expected at 26 N, but it amplifies the affect).

It's not too bad here. Fall comes quickly despite August being as warm, if not warmer than July. The spring is usually slow to warm which makes for a long period of "pleasant" weather.

D. It takes longer to warm up here in Spring, though the plus side is that it is warmer later into the autumn & even early winter, it doesn't generally start to get "cold" here until after Christmas.

I like that February is the coldest month, and I also like August is warmer than June. I will give seasonal lag a slightly positive C+.

I wouldn't mind August being warmer than June if it weren't for the fact that it's already been hot for 4 months in August and also that August is the hottest month and that seasonal lag means residual heat into September and October. August warmer than June but cooler than July is OK in my book, but I like the peak of summer being somewhat early (around July 10-20).

Miami’s average low in October is 73.5°F, which is still slightly warmer than the average low for August in Daytona Beach (73.4). No doubt the warm ocean is to blame. |

Winters in Renmark tend to be backloaded, thank fuck. A front loaded winter like in Melbourne drives me fucking spare. Summers here and in Melbourne on the other hand can extend through March. A for summer, F for winter in both climates. So to split the difference, a C

Seasonal lag in summer is nice if June is already warm enough and by the end of September the temperatures go down rapidly, October highs should be colder than in April.
I used to be a big winter seasonal lag hater and mild Decembers are still useless crap as I'm the most snow horny during Dec and Jan. But I kinda liked the rapid transition from a winter-like March to a basically summer-like April this year. So winter can drag on to March as our average Marches are boring anyway, if April sees a temperature explosion.
C.
