Personally, I am grateful for the cooling weather. I live in one of the hottest states in the US, and I am appalled that it took until October to cool off. I grew up here, and it used to start cooling off in August. You cant tell me that weather patterns aren’t changing.
On Lorata, certain events are tied to the seasons. Loracaz II was birn in mid-winter, and book one comes to an end at the beginning of spring with some major events. Zarrek thinks deeply about his emotions one winter, and his views start to change. He meets Starshine towards the end of autumn. I write in a lot about the seasons as the stories progress, really. I cant seem to leave them out of it. It matters to me whether Loracaz III is trudging through snow or gliding through the summer air.
I’m just glad that it’s cooling off for me, because it’s hard to write while I’m pouring sweat.
