Seasonal parking preferences

One can tell that summer is here--at least here where I work. Car owners compete for the parking spots farthest from our office building but which are situated under several shady trees while nobody wants to park near the building where the sun beats down mercilessly especially in the afternoon. During the rainy season it's quite the opposite: it's the spots near the building that are taken first. Apparently nobody relishes taking the long walk from their car to the building in the pouring rain carrying an umbrella over the heads with arms loaded with books, papers and bags.
