Look what the government says. According to them, we only have two seasons.
Southeast Florida is characterized by two predominant seasons-- summer and winter. The summer season is characterized by warm, humid conditions with frequent showers and thunderstorms. The winter season has cooler temperatures, lower humidities and less frequent precipitation. The two missing seasons-- autumn and spring-- are included in the winter season because these two transition periods are drier and cooler than the summer season. Each year the starting and ending of the summer season is a topic of interest in southeast Florida. The rains which help to signal the beginning of the summer season and put an end to the late winter dryness, and the all-too-frequent water-use restrictions, are always welcomed. Then when the day-after-day high temperatures and humidities of the summer have lasted for what seems to be an eternity, the first period of lower humidities and slightly cooler temperatures are greatly anticipated by all. To my knowledge, no one has ever investigated the climatological records to determine the beginning and ending dates of this important annual climatological event.
