I think this might be a comment rather than an answer to the specific question. If the question is not clear, let's ask for farther clarification.

<p>I live in France.
Is it true that there are more occurrences of deep blue skies during spring. If yes why ?
Is it true also during autumn.
Thank you for answering</p>

Welcome to Earth Science! What do you mean by 'deep blue skies'? This is a very subjective term.

Where in France do you live?  Do you mean clear skies in general?
