My entry for the 312th EDITION of the LOH Community Contest - See you at the beach 👙🏖️!!! [EN/ES]

Hello everyone at @ladiesofhive. Today
@thekittygirl invite us to take part in a contest where she relates the weather to our moods, and I think it’s a great idea.
1️⃣ Temperate parts of the world typically experience four "seasons" of the year — spring, summer, autumn, and winter. But some parts of the world have a "dry season," a "rainy season," or "seasons" where there are frequent storms, extreme cold, extreme heat, El Niño, Harmattan, and so forth. Which is the most difficult season of the year for you? Why is it difficult, and what do you do to make it bearable?
The first question leads us to reflect on which season is the most difficult for me and what I do to make it more bearable.
I live in Cuba, a Caribbean island known for having slightly marked seasons, where autumn and winter have never been especially strong; however, spring and especially summer are seasons when the heat has broken historical records and when most of the population has felt exhaustion, headaches, low energy, and fatigue caused by the high temperatures the country reaches. Many describe Cuba as "an eternal summer."
This is the season that is hardest for me to bear, because there is nowhere you can go where the intense heat doesn’t reach you. But... life gave me the opportunity to live in a province full of beaches. When I feel tired or exhausted from the heat, very early in the morning or as the sun goes down, I go straight to the beach with my family, and while I’m there I forget the troubles this season brings me.
Today I bring you some lovely views of the beaches and coast:
Although I must add that I am worried about winter in the country, since due to the effects of the El Niño phenomenon, it is expected to also be a record low-temperature winter and will be somewhat intense, and I don’t think the population of my country is ready to face it.
2️⃣ If you live in an area of world where seasons are usually predicable and regular, do you like that stability, where weather usually follows expected patterns? Or do you like more variety, where weather is more changeable? Is there one season when you really thrive and you're the happiest?
I like weather stability. I always think of the elderly and children, who are unprotected, and I prefer stable rather than variable weather so that it affects them less.
If I had to choose a season where I would be happiest, it would be autumn, and I’ll tell you why 🍂🍁
Although the season is not as marked as others, the temperature becomes perfect, the atmosphere becomes nostalgic, and preparations for the end of the year begin. It is also the season that brings summer to an end and, with it, its reign of heat. It is as if the worst stage were over and autumn became each year a promise of a new beginning.

Hola a todos en @ladiesofhive. Hoy
@thekittygirl nos invita a participar en un concurso donde relaciona al clima con nuestros estados de ánimo y considero que es una idea genial.
1️⃣ Temperate parts of the world typically experience four "seasons" of the year — spring, summer, autumn, and winter. But some parts of the world have a "dry season," a "rainy season," or "seasons" where there are frequent storms, extreme cold, extreme heat, El Niño, Harmattan, and so forth. Which is the most difficult season of the year for you? Why is it difficult, and what do you do to make it bearable?
La primera pregunta nos lleva a reflexionar sobre cuál es la estación más difícil para mí y qué hago para hacerla más pasadera.
Vivo en Cuba, una isla del Caribe, conocida por tener estaciones ligeramente marcadas donde el otoño y el invierno nunca han sido especialmente fuertes, sin embargo, la primavera y sobre todo el verano son estaciones donde el calor ha roto récords históricos y donde la mayoría de la población ha sentido agotamiento, dolores de cabeza, decaimiento y fatigas causados por las elevadas temperaturas que alcanza el país. Muchos describen a Cuba como "un eterno verano".
Esta es la estación que más difícil de soportar se me hace, pues no hay lugar a donde vayas, que no te alcance el intenso calor. Pero...la vida me dio la oportunidad de vivir en una provincia llena de playas. Cuando me siento cansada o agotada por el calor, bien temprano en la mañana o mientras cae el sol me voy directo a la playa con mi familia y estando allí se me olvidan los pesares que me trae esta estación.
Hoy les traigo unas lindas vistas de las playas y costa:
Aunque he de agregar que me siento preocupada por el invierno en el país, dado que por los efectos del fenómeno El Niño, se espera sea récord en temperatura baja también y será un poco intenso, y no creo que la población de mi país esté lista para enfrentarlo.
2️⃣ If you live in an area of world where seasons are usually predicable and regular, do you like that stability, where weather usually follows expected patterns? Or do you like more variety, where weather is more changeable? Is there one season when you really thrive and you're the happiest?
Me gusta la estabilidad del clima, siempre pienso en los ancianos y niños que están desprotegidos y prefiero que sea un clima estable y no variable para que los afecte menos.
Si tuviera que elegir una estación donde ser más feliz sería el otoño y les cuento por qué 🍂🍁
Aunque la estación no es tan marcada como otras, la temperatura se vuelve perfecta, el ambiente se vuelve nostálgico y comienzan los preparativos para fin de año, es también la estación que da fin al verano y con esto a su hegemonía de calor. Es como si acabara la peor etapa y el otoño se convirtiera cada año en una promesa de un nuevo inicio.
