Summer season | Hottest season

 

Summer season

-Summer is one of the four Earth’s seasons, that goes after spring and foreshadows autumn. In this time of the year, days become warm, hot and really long, while nights in this season are the shortest. Sun shines so bright and everything around is whispering to go outdoors!

-Everyone loves summer, because it is the best time to go on vacation, spend time near the sea and sunbathing. It is a great time for doing some sports outdoors, spending time with families and friends, doing picnics. Everyone feels happier in this time of year, because you do not need to wear warm clothes and can go for a walk even in the night time.

-summer, warmest season of the year, between spring and autumn. 

-In the Northern Hemisphere, it is usually defined as the period between the summer solstice (year’s longest day), June 21 or 22, and the autumnal equinox (day and night equal in length), September 22 or 23; and in the Southern Hemisphere, as the period between December 22 or 23 and March 20 or 21. 

-The temperature contrast between summer and the other seasons exists only in middle and high latitudes; temperatures in the equatorial regions generally vary little from month to month. For physical causes of the seasons, see season.

-The concept of summer in European languages is associated with growth and maturity, especially that of cultivated plants, and indeed summer is the season of greatest plant growth in regions with sufficient summer rainfall. Festivals and rites have been used in many cultures to celebrate summer in recognition of its importance in food production.

When Does Summer Start?

A period of exceptionally hot weather, often with high humidity, during the summer is called a heat wave. Such an occurrence in the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere in the latter part of summer is sometimes called the dog days.
