We are in Massachusetts and our hot tub is outside. It seems the best times for using it are in the fall, winter, and spring! Summer sometimes is just too hot, although we adjust the temperature accordingly. There's nothing like a cool or cold evening when we're all snuggled up, the two of us, or four of us, one time eight of us, in the hot tub! You can feel the cooler air but you're nice and warm; also, a "bubble" of warmer air seems to collect just over the tub so even on a real cold day we're nice and warm. Trouble is, we never want to get out! One hint - if you put it outside, try to locate it as close to the house as possible, so when getting out in winter you can hurry up inside. Oh, and a sheepskin rug in front of a nice fire helps too....
By the way our swinging began becsue of a hot tub, then we got one, and then two other sets of friends got one too!
