what alex992 and AJ1013 seem to be saying is the "objective definition of seasons is what is typical of midlatitude, at least somewhat continental climate"; but that's still still setting one climate as a standard and still somewhat subjective. |

54F is definitely very much spring-like for me, as we don't ever get that warm in the winter (it would be a record-setting temperature on most days from Dec to Feb).

54F (high) is springlike, in no way a winter temperature. If you consider 54F a winter high, your area does not have a winter season
54F is our average high in early April, our mean in mid may, and average low in mid June. It's closer to summer temp for me than winter

Winter like here. My coldest daytime high this winter was 11.7C, which is 53.1F.

It depends on which climate you live in, but 54°F is more wintry than springlike here or in NC. To feel springlike it would have to be at least 65°F.

If going by minima, it's summery; if going by maxima, it's spring-like or autumnal.
I can get sub-12° C maxima (even sub-10° C maxima) in the middle of summer, which is well-known by now.

It's a close call for me, but I think I have to say winterlike. When I think of springlike, it's more 60-75 and over to me. Or at least 55-75.

Winter definitely. It’s pretty common as a temperature in winter when we have a SW airflow and it doesn’t feel springlike at all. Even a 12c sunny Feb day doesn’t feel springlike IMO

Winterlike. It's a cold high, and well below my winter averages.

Here in Wisconsin, that's basically the average high for April, and it doesn't happen much in winter at all except maybe the first week of December. I mean, I'd rather it be a common winter temperature instead of the kind of cold we get, but I live in the wrong state for that.

It’s a bit below the March average high.
We average 3 days with 54 f in winter and 2 in spring so I guess winter-like...
The average is 25 highs in the 50s in winter and 19 in spring.

It happens more frequently as a high in winter here, but I wish I lived in a place where it was a more springlike temperature.

It depends.
A low of 12C is springlike. But a high or a mean of 12C is more wintry to me.

"Technically" a spring temperature in most of England, typical of early April. In sunny, calm weather it can be OK, but I'd still wear a coat. It's somewhere in between my conception of a typical winter/spring day in this area so depends on the weather.

Neither, late winter/early spring here. Leaning more towards spring.

As a Torontonian 12C is never even close to feeling like winter, so it's more springlike by a long shot. In fact, 12C feels summerlike if it's a sunny day like that in February.

I have to say it can be both. Depending on where you are and what time of the year it is.
Note though, Spring, like Autumn are "transitional" seasons or a "a transition from one season to another" season. Autumn is a transition from Summer to Winter and Spring is a transition from Winter to Summer. There is not much of temperature difference between the start of summer (solstice) and end of summer (equinox) as there is between the beginning of fall (equinox) and end of fall (solstice). Same will apply to the winter and spring. The temperature difference between the start of winter and end of winter will be less extreme than the temperature difference between the start of spring and start of summer. This means during the autumn and spring seasons, you will find sharper increases (spring) or decreases (autumn) in temperature in most cases, especially in more temperature zones, where there is a difference in seasons with the temps. This is implies a larger range of temps in the spring and fall. Long story short, 54F as a high temp, in a temperate climate especially, can be as springlike as winterlike or as autumn-like as winterlike.
