I can't speak for California, but here in the Southwest, we definitely have seasons--they're different seasons than the temperate ones, but they're distinct and I feel their changes deeply and those changes shape my year. Things like the changing angle of the sun, changes in the dryness of the air and the colors of the mountains and whether there's a chill in the morning or electric lightning over the mountains in the afternoon or heat so fierce it hits my like a physical presence when I step outside--we have seasons here, definitely.
Temperate seasons are lovely, but they're only one kind of seasons and one way of measuring change.
