Fairly simple question. For summers for instance, do you prefer the hottest temps to occur earlier in the season (relative to a climate's normal), let's say, in June/July but then August turns cool, i.e. a frontloaded summer or do you prefer the hottest temps relative to your climate occur later in summer, like where you'd get the warmest temps in August, i.e. a backloaded summer?
Likewise, for winters, a frontloaded winter would be, for example, where you'd get cold and/or snow for the holiday season in the NH but then January/February are warm, or, conversely, prefer a backloaded winter wherein early on temps are mild, but then the colder temps and/or snow come along closer to climatological spring, like in February in the NH?
Discuss.

Front loaded winter, backloaded summer.
Get the cold over with while it’s still a novelty and fits the Christmas season and get the hottest summer temps when the sun angle is lower. Also maximizes time spent warming up and minimizes time spent getting colder

Front loaded winters and backloaded summer.
Opposite of northern England basically, where it's an imperceptible warm up through April, and autumn starts in August.

Frontloaded winter and backloaded summer, so that spring is the longest season

Summers here are very backloaded. For variety's sake, I do hope they become more frontloaded where late Feb and March record highest temperatures. But this is impossible in southeastern Australia as moist easterlies are predominant at this time of the year.

But this is impossible in southeastern Australia as moist easterlies are predominant at this time of the year. February and March being warmest in the Southern Hemisphere would be the exact definition of a back-loaded summer. I'm another vote for the consensus: front-loaded winters and back-loaded summers are ideal. March should feel like spring, and I deserve to have some fun yet into August and September! |

It doesn't matter that much to me. But all else equal, I'd choose frontloaded winters and backloaded summers, but not so extreme like here. Warmth with relatively low sun is quite nice, so summer feels longer but not so intense.

Like most here, backloaded summers and frontloaded winters

Wow everyone seems to like a long spring. Fall is my favorite time of year. For here, I would like less lag, so I want all seasons frontloaded.

Neither. I want both winter and summer to peak in January/July.

When I think about a backloaded winter, for example, I think of February being the coldest and having a wintry March/cooler spring. Or summery September when it comes to the summer season.
But for the sake of simplicity, I'll just focus on the 3 months period for the given season.
I prefer a backloaded summer in this instance because I like July/August to be the hottest months.
Frontloaded summer would suck - you get the best temps in June, but after that you know it's gonna go downhill.
As for winter, I'd be perfectly happy with a frontloaded winter - coldest is December, cool January and February warm-up.
Backloaded is tolerable too. March can have some wintry temps too, but I want some warmer temps nonetheless, at least in the second half of the month.

I think I'd be less bothered by spring seasonal lag in a climate with mild or warm winters. It's hard to complain about a March day that feels like winter by local standards if it still means an ultra-comfortable 26 C.
