Nature all over the world changes its colours several times in a year. Each of these changes manifests itself in the form of one season. There are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Spring is the queen of seasons and the loveliest of them all. It comes between winter and summer and generally its period is from February to April. It is neither hot nor cold. In spring, everywhere there is beauty and everyone is happy. Trees start bringing forth new buds and leaves. Greenery spreads everywhere; birds sing beautiful songs and the flowers blossom. Birds’ songs and the fragrance of flowers add to our joy.
Then comes the summer season. Generally, its period is between spring and autumn from May to September. In this season, the days and nights are hot. May, June and July are the hottest months of the year. Tanks, streams and other sources of water dry up rapidly. We face the scarcity of drinking water. When the heat of summer becomes unbearable, we pray for rain. July and August are the rainy months.
At times, heavy rains cause floods. Autumn comes between summer and winter. Generally, its period is from September to October. During this season, it is neither too hot nor too cold. It is a period of fair weather, clear sky and bright atmosphere. Most of the trees shed off their leaves. Rainfall is rare but the sky presents patches of white clouds here and there.
After autumn comes winter. Generally, it falls between November and January. There usually no rain, except a couple of light showers towards its close. In winter, it is very cold and we have to wear woollen clothes. December and January are the coldest months of the year. At hilly places, snow fall is frequent.
