Actually, calling Generic a fifth season is unfair. Generic is the season that gives the rest of the season the year off. It steps in and tells Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall to go have a holiday somewhere nice, like the moon maybe.
Hence you get the weather we currently have in the
In fact, Generic is in the air. Each day across the whole year has been more or less the same. I had the heating switched on in August on the weekend. Stepping outside, today could be any one of the following:
1) An unseasonally warm winter's day
2) An average day in Spring
3) An autumn day where the leaves are still green
4) An unseasonally cold summer's day.
Such is the beauty of Generic! One size fits all!

Having lived in England all my life, I feel a bit stupid not seeing this before. And not a little bit cold having just reurned from the Aegean. Now hoping that I will see a bit more Summer in Athens in October (and therefore that England is not the only place where the seasons are deceptive - I think the English invented the 'Indian Summer' but I think the Greeks have a word for it too).
I read and understand your stories. I on the other hand am a Greek who has settled in the United States. I came here at the tender age of twenty and now 27 years later i am still going strong.
Here last week we had floods. We could put out the fires in Greece.
For several weeks had temperatures in the high 90s F.
Now is cooling off. The temperatures are down in the low 80s.
I am proud of being a Ellinas-4-ever living in My-Ameriki.
My dream is to return one day.
We will see.
I love visiting Greece either in September or October. The weather is still good , oh well most of the time.
