Neptune doesn't have summer and winter like we do on Earth:
It takes 165 Earth years for Neptune to orbit the sun, and as it is the furthest planet in our solar system it doesn't have seasons like we do, due to it's distance; located about 30 times farther away from the Sun than Earth is. Only about 1/900th as much sunlight reaches Neptune as our planet. Yet, the small amount of sunlight it does receive, significantly affects the planet's atmosphere.
It has been summer in the south pole of Neptune for about 40 years now, and is now turning back to winter, which will last a further 40 years or so.
However, there is a lot of variables such as how methane leaks into the atmosphere causing temprature variations (i.e. right now, the south pole has a temprature of around 10 degrees and yet the rest of the planet settles around -200 degrees celsius and a lot of solar energy input during that time can make big temperature differences between the regions in continual sunlight and those with day-night variations.
Still, not a nice place to visit with wind speeds of around 2000 kph
