There are [[TruthInTelevision some elements of truth]] to this. Certain places around the equator experience only two real seasons: hot and rainy, and hot and dry. Unless they're at high altitudes, in which case substitute "hot" with "cool". However, Canada, Russia, and Australia are all far enough from the equator to have more seasons. (The poles, by contrast, have wide temperature differences between winter and summer; it's just that even the summer temperatures don't get above freezing.) Subtrope of ArtisticLicenseGeography.
