Cold weather. Fighting through the cold to get to being warm is so much more tolerable than fighting through the heat to get to being cool. And yeah, a lot more feasible in most situations to bundle up than to remove layers. Of course, I live in a desert so I savor the 30-90 days of tolerable weather before dealing with the Long Summer again. The heat is like stepping into a convection oven sometimes. The wind just feels like a heater blowing in your face. Staying cool is expensive to do well with an A/C, and evaporative cooling doesnt always work well. Meanwhile, blankets are cheap.

I like weather that you really experience. So both cold and hot basically. I like it when the cold makes your face numb, but at the same time I can really enjoy stepping from an air conditioned building in to outside heat. Or the first warm sun rays in the spring. Or the first freezing rain. Or a good windy storm that won't let you stand upright.

I don't like it when everywhere is the same temperature. So when it's 20° C in the house, but when you step outside you don't feel any difference. That's just boring
