How do the four seasons effect the Weather? Summer Fall Winter Spring

The Four Seasons The year is divided into four seasons. The set of months in each season have similar weather patterns. Summer - Sunny and hot Fall - Warm days and chilly nights Winter - Cold and sometimes snowy Spring – Warm with rain showers

The Cycle of the Seasons Spring March, April and May Winter December, January and February Summer June, July and August Fall September, October and November

Summer Summer begins in June. It is the hottest season of the year. Days are longer with more hours of sunlight. Some places get thunderstorms during the summer. Even though it is hot, trees and bushes stay green during the summer months.

Fall/Autumn Fall begins in late September. In the fall, days can be warm with cool breezes. Nights can get chilly. Days begin getting shorter as winter gets closer. Leaves on trees will change colors before falling off.

Winter Winter is the coldest season of the year. When precipitation falls in winter, it can be in the form of snow. Days are shorter. Tree branches are bare since the leaves have fallen off. Plants stop growing to conserve energy.

Spring Spring is the season between summer and winter. It may be sunny and warm. During the spring, there could be strong storms that may produce hail. As the weather gets warmer during the spring, flowers and leaves begin to grow.
