Actually, none of the seasons is what they used to be. Spring is too short or in some years it's basically skipped, winter is so mild we don't even get any snow, summer is too hot, autumn is ... well, depends on what chance we have.
so more people begin enjoying the other seasons including autumn which many hate because of is rainy periods.
Rain is becoming more rare these days and it's not good at all.
And yes, autumn has a lot of advantages, like eating grapes :P
