Study the four seasons.

Four seasons or two?
Countries with a temperate climate, like the ones in
Europe and North America, have four very defined
seasons: hot summers in June, July and August; cold
winters in December, January and February, with heavy
snow in some countries; cool, windy falls in September,
October and November and warm springs in March,
April and May.
In contrast, tropical regions, especially around the

equator, have only two seasons: The dry season and the
rainy season. So, in places like, India, West Africa,
Central America, the north of South America and the
north cost of Australia, the rainy season is in the winter
(June, July and August), and it’s accompanied by very
high temperatures.
