[size=2] THE SEASONS
There are four seasons in a year. March, April and May make the spring season. June, July and August make the summer season. September, October and November make the autumn season. December, January and February make the winter season.
Near the North Pole there are two seasons: winter and summer. The winter nights are long. For more than two months you can't see the sun, even at noon. The summer days are long. For more than two months, the sun never sets, and there is no night.
In the tropics there are also two seasons: a rainy season and a dry season.[/size]
