Season Change

Depending on where you live, you probably experience dramatically different weather at different times of the year. It might be hot for months on end. Then the heat fades and you can't leave the house without a heavy coat. A season is a time of year with typical weather patterns and daylight hours. Other changes occur regularly each year with the seasons.

As children, we often learn that there are four seasons: summer, autumn, winter, spring... But this isn't true everywhere in the world. For example, people living in the tropics experience just two seasons: wet and dry.
