Seasons and Weather

Hi! This is Daniel's & Jordan's webpage. In case you are wondering, this page is about weather and what it's like during the seasons.

Winter
 
 

Winter is the coldest season of them all. As the earth rotates, the northern hemisphere has winter in Dec.-Feb. while the southern hemisphere has winter in June-Sept. Winter storms bring rain to warmer southern areas. Low winter temperatures usually occur in the middle of all continents. As air rises the weather changes. With the cold temperature the flowers die because they need warm temperatures. Northern and western areas have a colder winter than others.
 
 

Spring
 
 

In the northern hemisphere, half of the earth has spring in late March through June. This is when spring weather begins in much of North America. The hours of daylight increase durning spring.
 
 

Summer
 
 

We experience summer in the northern hemisphere when the Earth is on that part of its orbit. High summer temperatures are usually in the middle of the continent. Summer lasts from December through March. Thunderstorms develop along the northern part of this warm moist air.
 
 

Autumn
 
 

While the northern hemisphere has autumn in Dec.-Nov., the southern hemisphere has autumn in March-June. Some people like to call autumn "fall" because of the falling of the leaves. Leaves change color in the fall because as the temperature drops the leaves lose their power to stay green.

Seasons are caused by the way the earth tilts and rotates against the sun.
