The Weather and the Four Seasons

There are four seasons in the year: spring, summer, autumn (fall), and winter. Each season has different weather, and people wear different clothes.

🌸 Spring (March, April, May)

In spring, the weather is warmer after the cold winter. The sun shines more, but it still rains a lot. The trees and flowers start to grow again, and everything looks green and fresh. Birds sing in the morning, and animals wake up from hibernation. The days get longer, and the nights are shorter.

People wear light jackets, sweaters, and sneakers. Sometimes they need an umbrella because of the rain. Spring is a good time for walking in the park and enjoying nature.

☀️ Summer (June, July, August)

In summer, the weather is hot and sunny. The sky is usually blue, and there is very little rain. Some places have thunderstorms in the evening. The temperature can be very high, so people wear shorts, T-shirts, and sunglasses. They also drink cold drinks to stay cool.

Many people go to the beach, swim in the sea, or play sports outside. Children have a summer holiday from school, and families go on vacation. Some people like to have a barbecue in the garden.

🍂 Autumn (Fall) (September, October, November)

In autumn, the weather gets cooler. The leaves on the trees change color and turn yellow, orange, and red. The wind is stronger, and it rains more. Some days are still warm, but others are cold and windy.

People wear jackets, sweaters, and boots. Many farmers harvest their fruits and vegetables in autumn. In some countries, people celebrate Halloween in October. It is also the season of hot drinks and warm food.

❄️ Winter (December, January, February)

Winter is the coldest season of the year. In many places, it snows, and everything looks white. The days are short, and the nights are long. People wear coats, scarves, gloves, and boots to keep warm.

Children love to play in the snow, make snowmen, and go sledding. In some places, people go skiing or ice skating. People drink hot chocolate or tea to stay warm.

Many countries celebrate Christmas and New Year in winter. It is a time for family, gifts, and holiday decorations.
