Perhaps for some but not for others.
We were watching a HGTV show last evening whereby folks see three homes and then decide which one they will purchase.
This particular segment featured an architect, Canadian by birth, and his wife, born in Scotland............now both countries are not considered as ones with abundant sunshine year round.
They were in the process of relocating from San Diego California to Oregon.
Oregon, as we all know, has its share of cloudy days and rain.....being in the Pacific Northwest.
The husband actually said, "I'm looking forward to some cloudy days"......
Both appeared to be tired of the constant sunshine in San Diego.....
Guess it's all what one becomes accustomed to...........they were both very HAPPY and contented to be purchasing a home in cloudy rainy Oregon.
When we were younger and chose to relocate back to Vermont from Florida, we were THRILLED to have the snow back........whereas that wouldn't quite be the case at the moment.
Yet.......each April school vacation we were thrilled to land in Florida and feel that balmy warmth as we stepped off the airplane....
Also, those countries mentioned do have "seasons".......so when one gets tired of one season, there is always the next..........
