The Seasons
The four seasons are described here but in many places around the world there are only two seasons. If there are only two seasons, we usually describe them as the "rainy season" (or wet season) and the "dry season."
Spring: The season between winter and summer (in the USA from April - June), when plants and trees begin to bloom.
| |
Summer: The season in between spring and autumn (in the USA from July - September) when it is the weather is warm or hot.
| |
Autumn (or Fall): The season in between summer and winter (in the USA from October - December). In many places the leaves turn colors and fall off the trees.
| |
Winter: The season between fall and spring (in the USA January - March) when the weather is the coldest.
