History Main / ItsAlwaysSpring

Outside of animation, this is a consequence of HollywoodProvincialism. In Southern California, where most production takes place, the weather really is spring-like most of the year (at least, it is to everyone else). This was, in fact, a big part of why so much film production moved to Hollywood to begin with: unlike UsefulNotes/NewJersey (the center of the American film industry during UsefulNotes/ThePreHollywoodEra), the warm, sunny Mediterranean climate of UsefulNotes/LosAngeles allowed for year-round film production outdoors. It also occurs with shows and movies filmed in Louisiana or Georgia, two states in the American South that offer generous tax credits for filmmakers and have very warm climates; temperatures below 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15°C) (or, God forbid, ''50'' degrees (10°C)) are generally considered chilly. Outside of climate, most productions would rather film as much of a show or movie at the same time as possible, rather than wait for seasons to change, so even if the story has a seasonal shift, that may not be evident on the sets.

* ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' was famous for its numerous winter strips (ice-skating, hockey, snowball fights) - but then, Charles Schulz was from Minnesota, one of the wintriest of all U.S. states.

* Most ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork'' games seem to take place over a school year with weeks or months passing between the various plot incidents, but the appearance of ACDC Town never changes, with the trees always being green and no snow falling. This is possibly justified by the fact that, despite being based on Japan, the region of Electopia seems to be closer to the Equator than its real-life counterpart if a [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/megaman/images/c/cd/BN4WorldMap.png/revision/latest?cb=20091121202312 world map]] seen in ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork4RedSunAndBlueMoon'' is anything to go by. And, of course, when Lan travels to the Russia-inspired nation of Sharo in ''4'', it seems to be in a state of perpetual winter, despite this not being the case with other countries located in the north like Netopia and [=YumLand=]. Averted with the second game, as mentioned below.

* ''Series/{{Stargirl}}'' "Summer School Chapter Eight" Rick's teacher wishes him a happy 4th of July, and near the end of the episode there is a fireworks display. However, if you look at the landscape, all of the hardwood trees are bare of their leaves, and everyone is dressed as though it's late autumn and time for Thanksgiving.

* All of ''Animation/SimpleSamosa'' takes place during the summer, as the characters are seen swimming in a chutney lake (with chutney, a sort of sauce/gravy commonly served with certain Indian foods, replacing water in this show since all the characters are mostly Indian AnthropomorphicFood) and no distinctly season-specific features such as colorful fallen leaves or snow ever appear.

** Different seasons are shown by changing location, as with the Muscle Tower portion of the Red Ribbon arc, where Goku; gets bitterly frozen as he didn't think to dress warmer [[IdiotHero for cold/snowy weather]].

If you answered no to all of these, and furthermore, can't even remember the last time any of these things occurred outside a seasonal episode, then that's because It's Always Spring.

* ''Series/{{Degrassi}}'' takes place in, is filmed in, and is ''written, produced and directed entirely by people who live in'' UsefulNotes/{{Toronto}}, and is an example of this due to a shooting schedule that coincided with summer vacation in the ''Series/DegrassiJuniorHigh'' days and now runs roughly April-November.

* ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'': Due to the show operating ComicBookTime, with [[NotAllowedToGrowUp Ash never aging]], the Pokémon World is always in a summer season (due to early summer being seen as the ideal world for children adventures). In every region Ash travels, the weather is almost always sunny and bright unless the plot demands otherwise. In ''Anime/PokemonTheSeriesBlackAndWhite'', we do see the change from spring to summer in the Deerling but otherwise the weather remains the same.

* Several cities in Latin America have been called "The City of Eternal Spring". For example: Caracas (Venezuela), Tegucigalpa (Honduras), Medellín (Colombia), Guatemala City (Guatemala), Trujillo (Peru), Cochabamba (Bolivia), Arica (Chile) and Cuernavaca (Mexico).

** Most of the listed cities are at high altitudes, making the weather much cooler than (most) lowland locations at similar latitudes. Caracas is at about 3,000 ft/900 m; Tegucigalpa at a hair under 1,000 m (3,250 ft); Cuernavaca, Guatemala City, and Medellín in the 5,000 ft/1,500 m range; and Cochabamba at about 8,400 ft/2,550 m. Arica is a coastal city and Trujillo nearly so; both have an unusual mild desert climate, shared with Peru's capital of Lima.

* Guadalajara and Tlaquepaque, both cities in the Mexican state of Jalisco, are said to have spring-like weather year round.

* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' takes place during the summer of 2012, from when the twins' enter the titular town in the middle of June to when they leave on the last day of August.

* {{Anime}} in school settings is usually forced to follow the sequence of the year. Ready examples are ''[[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' and even the otherwise rather minimalistic ''Manga/DokiDokiSchoolHours''. They do not, of course, always ''show'' it, and in many we are simply supposed to take their word for it that time is passing. In some cases, montages of the semester readily don't show any other season (even when it's implied that a year has passed).

* In ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'', it's always the rainy season, as it's guaranteed to rain every couple of weeks or so for matters of plot convenience. ''[[UpdatedRerelease Golden]]'' is an aversion, since while the main part of the original game ends on December 26 before jumping ahead to when the protagonist leaves town on March 20, ''Golden'' shows the winter months, with Inaba blanketed in snow from January through mid-February. As a result of this, the cast dresses for the winter, the player can no longer garden(but can dig for insects) and the cast goes on a skiing trip.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'' takes place entirely during summer vacation, which forced the obligatory ChristmasEpisode to take place in a Christmas Theme Park.
