Seasons

Weather changes in cycles. Cycles of weather changes are called seasons. There are four seasons: winter, spring, summer, and autumn. Some seasons are hot. Some seasons are cold. Some seasons are wet. Some seasons are dry.

Winter is the cold season. Summer is the hot season. These seasons are often dry. Spring is the season between winter and summer. The air begins to warm in the spring. Autumn, or fall, is the season between summer and winter. The air begins to cool in the fall. Spring and fall are often wet. Illustration © 2000-2001 www.arttoday.com
