Winter
During the winter months the current year ends and a new year starts. The days
are shorter and often very cold. Sometimes the precipitation will fall as sleet
and snow, and quite often we wake up in the morning to frost and ice on the
floor. Winter is usually cold and wet, however it does differ in other parts of
the world.
Spring
It's simple to know when spring is arriving. The sun rises in the earlier hours
of the morning and sets later on in the afternoon. The days get slightly
warmer. Spring flowers start to appear, birds start building their nests and
the farmers deliver new-born lambs. Weather in spring is very varied. Some days
it may be cold enough to snow, and some days it is warm enough to play out in
the garden. Spring months can also be awfully windy. Weather varies though in
spring, worldwide.
Summer
Summer is something we usually all look forward to. The days become both warmer
and longer, the sun shines, and the school holidays provide us plenty of time
to go out and enjoy ourselves. Although sunny weather is very fun and we can
spend more time outside, the sun's rays can harm our bodies. There are some
things you need to do to protect yourselves. You shouldn't ever look straight
at the sun because it will damage your eyes. Additionally, you have to protect
your skin from the suns rays so that you don't get sunburned. Summer weather
can vary, but if we are lucky, June, July and August will bring some warm sunny
days.
Autumn
Autumn is a season filled with change. Days become shorter and, although it is
often warm and sunny during the daytime, it can be cold at night. In Autumn,
leaves fall off the trees and hedges. Additionally, Autumn can bring strong
winds and a lot of rain.
