Autumn is the season of perfection and decay. As the sun angle lowers, the atmosphere tries to shed its summer energy.
Summer weather is characterized by heat and, often, humidity. The long hours of sunlight allow the ground and atmosphere to absorb vast amounts of energy. Depending on the region, this can manifest as dry, arid heat or intense humidity. In tropical regions, summer often coincides with the wet season or the peak of hurricane season, as warm ocean waters fuel massive storm systems.
Intensity. The sun is a hammer. Afternoons bring the threat of flash floods and lightning. Nights offer little relief in urban heat islands. 4 seasons of weather
Summer arrives when a hemisphere is tilted most directly toward the sun, resulting in the longest days and shortest nights of the year.
Spring weather is defined by its volatility. As the angle of the sun increases, the ground begins to thaw and temperatures rise. However, this clash between retreating cold air and advancing warm air masses often leads to unstable weather. In many regions, spring is the season of storms, bringing heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and even tornadoes. Autumn is the season of perfection and decay
Winter begins with the Winter Solstice (around December 21 in the Northern Hemisphere), the shortest day of the year. The hemisphere is tilted furthest away from the Sun, resulting in low solar angles and limited daylight.
Indian Summer. A period of unseasonably warm, dry weather occurring after a hard frost, usually coinciding with the peak of foliage color. The long hours of sunlight allow the ground
Spring is the bridge between the cold dormancy of winter and the heat of summer. In the Northern Hemisphere, it technically begins with the Vernal Equinox (around March 20), a day when daylight and darkness are nearly equal in length.
