Utah does summer really nicely. (It's not technically summer yet, but we're close enough to start praising the season.)
Fall is better in the Midwest, with all the brightly colored leaves and pumpkin patches and apple dumplings.
The South does the spring better than anywhere else. If you disagree on this point, I have only two words for you: Dogwood. Trees. If you still disagree, we have to fight.
In the winter I want to be far away from Utah. Preferably in Hawaii.
But I really like Utah in the summer.
These are my favorite things about Utah summers:
1. Fruit trees. It's true that Utah has been very busy in the past 20 years razing all of its orchards, but there are still tons of fruit trees and it's really easy to get fresh fruit at farm stands all up and down the state.
2. There are only 5 mosquitoes in the entire state. People complain about the mosquitoes here, but that's because they're crazy.
3. It cools down at night. It may reach 2,000 degrees during the day, but it still cools off at night and makes a nice morning walk possible.
4. No humidity.
5. Festivals. Almost every town celebrates some kind of festival during the summer: Cherry Days, Days of '47, Onion Days, Highland Days, etc. Fantastic.
Good job, Utah.

I agree with you on the Utah summer nights. I miss them a lot. DC has about 59 quadzillion which makes Willard look like a bug free haven. Plus if you can see humidity, it's not a good thing.
Yum. No humidity.
I love the festivals!
This is a warm fuzzy post, how weird? I think I will take a trip now.
John--I will concede that close to bodies of water there are mosquitoes.
Abby--True. Seeing humidity is bad. And it's so hard to sleep at night when it's humid.
