Summer

Summer is one of the four temperate seasons, typically characterized by warmer weather, longer days, and shorter nights. In the Northern Hemisphere, summer traditionally spans from around June 21 to September 23, while in the Southern Hemisphere, it occurs from December 21 to March 20. This season follows spring and precedes autumn.

During summer, temperatures generally rise, resulting in increased sunlight and often prompting various recreational activities such as swimming, hiking, and outdoor sports. Many cultures celebrate summer with festivals, holidays, and vacations, coinciding with school breaks for children and students.

The duration and intensity of summer can vary significantly based on geographical location, impacting climate patterns, agriculture, and ecosystems. In some regions, summer is associated with dry conditions, while in others, it may bring rainfall and humidity. This season plays a crucial role in the life cycles of many plants and animals, influencing growth, reproduction, and behavior.
