If you had to have a "dry" season which would it be?

This is emerald green 👍🏻

Obviously I prefer a dry summer (in temperate climates) as my dream climate is Mediterranean. I don’t like summers completely dry like SoCal, but more like the Mediterranean climates found in Southern Europe that still have occasional summer storms, or even a a climate like mine with a slight summer minimum and few rain days, because much of our summer rain is via rare tropical lows.

Rain in summer is a complete waste as it makes everything sticky and prevents you from enjoying the warm temps. Cold rain is preferred because while it’s not pleasant, it’s necessary for being able to grow stuff and isn’t a waste of warm temps. I don’t enjoy the cold so I don’t mind if it rains then. Most precipitation in winter in our area also helps to moderate temperatures which prevents snow. Cold rain is also more pleasant to be out in than warm rain, because for cold rain you can wear a coat, but that’s uncomfortable in warm rain. There’s a reason that no one vacations in temperate monsoon climates! 

Tropical climates are a different story. I’d prefer the rain there in the summer to temper the temps, and the “dry season” in tropical savanna climates, such as those in South FL, have glorious warm dry weather, not too dissimilar to what I’d consider my ideal for summers.

Wet winter. Snow should be the primary source of precipitation. Rain is just an added bonus. But I do want some rain in summer to help the heat be more tolerable.

Mediterranean precip pattern is my preference; wet winter (snowy)/dry summer.

Not sure what I was thinking at the time, only logical explanation is that at the time I've forgotten about the beauty of summer thunderstorms and didn't fully appreciate them.

So, I'll say wet summers, though I still prefer even precip patterns. Summer rain (convective showers/thunderstorms) also tends to fall over shorter periods of time as opposed to raining the entire day. Cold rain (especially if we're talking temps below 50°F) is anti-life and feels disgusting, as if you're gonna get trench foot and lose your limbs.

Wet winter.

I like the contrast of a wet and dry season. Ideally the dry season should be warm and sunny, and the wet season not too hot and muggy. So naturally a wet winter pattern fits that pattern better.

Ideally autumn would be the dry season. I like both wet, thunderstorm-dominated summers and wet/snowy winters dominated by frontal activity, with a dry and sunny autumn in between. But if I had to choose between a wet summer and a wet winter, I'd pick a wet summer. Summer droughts suck and there is a certain appeal to dry winters, especially if diurnals are large.

Wet winters, as I like emerald grass. In saying so, summers shouldn't be that dry either.
