I have four preset season flows: winter, cold winter, spring/autumn and summer.  
How can I create a visual indicator on my dashboard that shows the current (chosen) season?  
Anyone with a good idea?

If it is an actual variable that you are using, then you can place the Logic widget on a dashboard, that shows the current value of the variable.

And to create a variable which reflects the right season, you can create flows like this:

Next,  
The Sun Events app has a season tag called “current season”

@SunBeech @Peter_Kawa thank you for your feedback.  
I already have logic variable ‘text’ which is indicating which of the four different preset seasons, e.g. ‘summer’, ‘cold winter’ etc. I didn’t know that the dashboard could just show the logic variable as such. Not very sophisticated, but it works.  
About the Sun Events app and season. Interesting. What determines the change of season, fixed dates or weather conditions (temperatures, forecast etc.)? Do you know?
