Considering that in tropical countries we only have 2 seasons (dry and wet seasons), i'd got with:
1- wet season
2- dry season.
And when i lived closer to the equator, it was even easier: only one season all year round, so it was:
1- only season

since i live in a borderline desertic region (high and very dry), the wet season is not that wet. we rarely have mosquitoes here.
Ok I'm sold. Where am I moving to?
Central Brazil in general, the region they call "Cerrado".
But we do have lot's of spiders and scorpions, thou... And lizards... And poverty, drug cartels, urban violence, and other things that come from being a typical south american country.
Oh no, I can't do Brazil, no offence..but possibly the worst food in the world. No offence lol.

none taken, but...
There are distinct culinary regions in Brazil, each defined by unique ingredients and flavor profiles.
Central and Southeastern cuisine, led by the state of Minas Gerais, is heavily influenced by Portuguese traditions. It relies primarily on rice and beans, accompanied by a variety of meats—especially sausages and pork.
Northeastern cuisine blends African and Portuguese influences. It features cassava (also known as manioc or tapioca), bold spices, and an abundance of seafood along the coast. In the interior, goat and sheep are more common.
Southern cuisine centers on beef, typically grilled or prepared as Brazilian barbecue, and served with rice.
Northern (Amazonian) cuisine is rooted in Indigenous traditions. Its main ingredients are freshwater fish and cassava. The entire cassava plant is used, including the leaves—despite being toxic in raw form. These leaves are carefully prepared in dishes like maniçoba, one of the region’s most iconic foods.
What is commonly referred to as "Brazilian food" usually reflects a blend of the central and southern rice-based cuisines. If that doesn't suit your taste, consider trying Amazonian cuisine—markedly different and largely uninfluenced by Portuguese cooking—or the bold, spicy dishes of the Northeast.
Ive never encountered a spicy Brazilian dish tbh. I have been to a few parts of Brazil (very briefly) and I love near quite a lot of restaurants/cafes now. Maybe I was very unlucky lol. I've only eaten a variety of yellow things which seemed to be totally flavourless, rice and beans. And barbeques (you can't really go wrong with a BBQ). I thought Brazilians were scared of spice, I actually thought they were scared of salt and pepper too lol.
salt is mostly due to big government. some cities have laws forbidding salt to be exposed on the restaurant so people wont ask for it.
Salt restrictions in restaurants are largely due to government regulations. In some cities, laws prohibit placing salt on tables to discourage its use without request.
As for spices, their use varies significantly by region. You most likely visited the South or Southeast—places like Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and the southern states—where food tends to be milder. In contrast, the North and Northeast offer a wider variety of chili peppers, such as malagueta and biquinho. Traditional black pepper (Piper nigrum), commonly used in European and Asian cuisines, is not as prevalent in Brazilian cooking.
Spot on, I probably went to the wrong places lol. Typical lolol
