Late spring sees the trees becoming fuller and the whitetail fawns, full of spots, running in the fields. By the beginning of Summer, vacations to the beech, and long days allow for getting a lot of fun crammed into the day.
The last days of summer feel brutally hot and any relief would be welcomed. Enter Autumn The days get noticeably shorter and there is a crispness to the air that you can smell. As we fully embrace Fall, we do so in sweatshirts and light jackets.
The feel of a campfire on your face and backside is so welcomed. Iced tea consumption goes down and cider, both cold and hot, increases. For some reason, I don't drink hot chocolate during the previous two seasons, but I sure do make up for during Fall and Winter. Oh, and Thanksgiving, don't get my started. I love to eat and all that I need is a reason. Speaking of Winter, this season holds my favorite holiday, Christmas my birthday as well, but His is greater!
Coats, boots, and 4-wheel drive are the order of the day. Going outside is always an adventure. I'm old enough that shoveling snow and cleaning off vehicles it's something that I can do anytime of the day read retired , but snow still brings out my inner child.
By the end of Winter, I'm ready for Spring once more. Why do we always seem to get a snow storm when I'm ready for the daffodils to pop up? I guess it makes me appreciate the coming Spring that much more. Ok, backed against a wall, I'd have to go with Autumn as my favorite season. Cooler days, campfires, Halloween, Thanksgiving, [Christmas season], and all of the decorations that go with each.
My favorite season is fall or autumn the only season with 2 names when leaves are falling and changing color it starts to cool down I love the cool weather I come from new England where its beautiful in the fall. Lived all my life in northerly climes. Retired to southerly climes. Wish I had done this 20 years ago :. Summer and spring are my favorite seasons; I love the warm weather of spring, and also, my birthday's in the summer!
August 5. I love decorating my porch, raking leaves and the beautiful color of the trees, pumpkins and warm cider too. We live really close to a acre park and the smell of the campfires in the air is something to remind me fall is here! The change from hot summer to cool fall is the best. It brings back memories of being in high school going to football games and having parties around a bon fire.
The smell of dead leaves brings back so many childhood memories out in the yard playing. And you cant forget Halloween! The best holiday of all!!! But when it comes to winter it sure finds a way to where out its welcome.
Being originally from southern New Brunswick, Canada I was brought into this world in late Autumn and my siblings are all 1st. Farm territory, hunting, fishing, trapping and lumbering! Spent a heck of alot of time on my Grandparents farm which was in my mum's family since approx.
My grandfather being a Spencer! Oh, why? Well it's truly the survival season and a lot around the farm reflects all year what one has to do to prepare for it! It has a super blessing of bringing the coldest of cold and this wipes the earth clean of all it's tesitude of diseases and for this one miracle alone I cherish winter!
Have a super winter, hot chocolate, warm cider and a wee dram of what ale's the spirit! Thank you, N. Bryant from Toronto! For six months each of the year, either the northern or southern hemisphere is pointing slightly more towards the sun, bringing the warmer temperatures of spring and summer.
The autumnal and spring equinoxes mark when the two hemispheres swap over, while the summer and winter solstices denote the sun reaching its most northerly and southerly points. Log In.

Instead, that happens on June 14 th when, in London, it rises at 4.
And, yes, the summer solstice has coincided with a full moon, a phenomenon last seen in and not due to recur until Once the summer solstice has passed, the days will shorten, a thought I always find a tad depressing, but at least there is the consolation that the temperatures should continue to rise, to reach their annual peak a few weeks later. The problem with this view of the seasons is that they are not fixed absolutely in the calendar and vary in length between 88 and 93 days.
Those charged with observing and studying the climate preferred to have more certainty over the beginning of the seasons. Fixed starting points and more consistent lengths made it easier to keep records, to compare between years and to make predictions. The Societas Meteorologica Palatina, founded in Mannheim by Elector Karl Theodor in , and the first company to organise, conduct and publish weather observations worldwide, defined the seasons as fixed periods in the calendar lasting three months each.
Although the sun soon set on the society it was dissolved around professional meteorologists around the world adopted their proposals. To this day the meteorological summer starts on June 1 st , autumn on September 1 st. Leaving aside the calendrical adjustment for leap year, each season, year on year, is the same length.
