Seasons

A collection of characteristic changes in weather, ecology, precipitation, and temperature that occur over a specific period is known as a season. These variations define the most common seasons: spring, summer, autumn (fall) and winter. Spring is a time of renewal and growth. With increasing sunlight and rainfall, trees begin to develop buds, flowers bloom, and fresh grass emerges from the soil. Rising temperatures awaken animals from hibernation, prompting many to mate and produce offspring. In essence, spring represents nature’s rejuvenation. Summer is marked by high temperatures, extended sunny days, and frequent thunderstorms. Depending on location, summer may bring heavy rainfall, as seen during the monsoon season in East Asia, or dry conditions with limited water, typical of Mediterranean regions. Autumn, also known as fall, ushers in cooler temperatures, foggy mornings, and rainy days. Often referred to as the harvest season, autumn is a time when animals prepare for hibernation, consuming more to build energy reserves for winter. Trees shed their leaves to conserve resources. Winter, the coldest season, is characterized by freezing temperatures, snowfall and ice. Trees shed their leaves to conserve energy, and the reduced sunlight significantly shortens daylight hours. Winter is a period of rest and dormancy for nature.
