Loading... Could you live in the tropics where it is warm year-round without the change of seasons?

No, I could not live in the tropics at all! I love the change of seasons. A tropical year-round climate would stress me out because I derive excitement and energy from the changing seasons. I like summers to be extremely hot, and winters with snow. (Which is lucky because this is the climate I live in!) Even a more moderate climate (such as on coastal areas where there's less seasonal variation) is too 'boring' in my opinion.

I love change of seasons, though I have to admit I never liked shoveling snow or chipping ice. I like walking in the snow, or seeing the leaves change color, or spring flowers or summer fun.

But I've also lived in L.A. which has very little in the way of seasonal change -- a little cooler in winter and a little warmer in summer, but largely the same throughout the year.

I now live in the tropics -- Cebu, Philippines -- but there is still some kind of seasonal change. We have a hot season, a moderate and dry season, and a rainy season.

Sometimes its a bit harder to tell the differences, though. Kind of like the time in Rockville, Maryland (just outside of D.C.), when the trees started to bud in 80-degree weather, but in early February. Yikes! Next week, it was snowing!

I am sure that I could manage it. The planning it would allow for outdoor pursuits would be a huge bonus. I also have some experience of standard weather conditions, having spent most of my life living in my native Scotland. The only notable difference between the seasons is that in the Winter the rain falls in solid form as snow! :)

Haha..I am already living in a country where there are only 2 seasons =) Rainy/hot! So yes, I can!

I would agree with BaliMermaid that living in the tropics is a breeze. I am from Malaysia and with similar climate conditions as in Indonesia as in the wet and dry season. The wet season can be really wet with rain everyday while in dry season, the weather can be so hot.

Here, the dry season can go on for days without any rain and it helps but during the wet season, it can rain for days or sudden thunderstorms.

I love the four seasons. I love to see the budding leaves on plants and trees in the spring. I love to see all the gardens in bloom in the summer. I love the magnificent colours of the fall. I love snow in the winter. I had lived in the tropics, and hated the wet season when it rained for days and days. Although I didn't mind the dry season, I prefer the four seasons when mother nature is at her best.

I moved from California to China, the very southern tip which is very tropical, the winter is nice but the summer is way too hot.

Now I live in Colombia. I'm only 400 miles above the equator but I live in the Andes, in Medellin, about 4,000'. There is one season, Spring, Although the last year has been very rainy the norm is a bright sunny day, a lighting storm at sunset with a little rain in the night and the temperature is so even that many houses don't even have glass in their windows.

I'm considering a move to the Philippines but I don't know if it would be too hot.

Living in the tropics, in these modern times, is a breeze. The weather here in Indonesia is so constant that we do not even have weather people on the television.

We have two seasons wet and dry.

In the dry season, it rains once a day - usually for a short time in the evening.

In the wet season, it rains twice a day and this can take place any time of day.

In August or September it will not rain at all. If we have a year where it does not rain for both August and September we know to prepare for flooding in February of the following year.
