the four traditional seasons

Weather seasons are typically divided into four main periods based on changes in temperature, precipitation, and daylight hours. The four seasons are:

1. **Spring**:- **Months**: March, April, May (Northern Hemisphere) / September, October, November (Southern Hemisphere) – **Characteristics**: Warming temperatures, increasing daylight, budding plants, and often increased rainfall

2. **Summer**:

– **Months**: June, July, August (Northern Hemisphere) / December, January, February (Southern Hemisphere)

– **Characteristics**: Warm to hot temperatures, long days, and often drier conditions, although this can vary by region.

3. **Autumn (Fall)**:

– **Months**: September, October, November (Northern Hemisphere) / March, April, May (Southern Hemisphere)

– **Characteristics**: Cooling temperatures, shorter days, and trees shedding leaves, along with harvest time for many crops.

4. **Winter**:

– **Months**: December, January, February (Northern Hemisphere) / June, July, August (Southern Hemisphere)

– **Characteristics**: Cold temperatures, shorter days, and, in many regions, precipitation in the form of snow.

The exact characteristics of each season can vary significantly depending on the geographical location, climate, and local weather patterns. For instance, tropical regions may experience wet and dry seasons rather than the four traditional seasons.
