The classification of the calendar in four groups of three months based on the prevailing
temperature conditions is said called Meteorological seasons. This is a more precise
way of segmenting the year.

So what are these seasons, and why are these seasons important? In this piece, we
will try finding some answers to those questions. According to meteorological studies,
all the seasons start on the first day of all months that either includes a solstice
or an equinox. Based on the above, the seasons are grouped as:

 * The Spring season starts from March 1st to May 31st.
 * The summer season starts from June 1st to August 31st.
 * The Fall or Autumn starts from September 1st to November 30th.
 * The Winter that runs from December 1st to February 28th or 29th.

Let’s have a closer look at these four seasons.

## Spring Season (March 1st to May 31st)

After the dreadful and cold winter season, this is the most sought after time of
the year. When the flowers start blooming, and the sun is out with its subtle brightness–
this season truly marks the beginning of a beautiful Season. This is the season 
when the entire landscape comes back to life. The sunlight is strong, and the temperatures
begin to rise slightly and the days start to get longer. The weather can change 
from sunny to dry to wet in a moment during this season. This season is truly the
season that catches every romantics’ attention.

In this season, you will find some trees blossoming and many low growing plants 
full of beautiful flowers. This is the time when all animals that had gone into 
their winter hibernation come out of their hideouts to enjoy the season. Many other
animals and birds return home from their winter venues and start their breeding.
Overall the weather is extremely pleasant, and there are glistening greenery and
colorful blossoms and flowers all around.

## Summer Season (June 1st to August 31st)

After the Spring follows the summers. Summer is the hottest time of the year when
temperatures soar and can become uncomfortable. The temperatures may not drop much
even after the sun goes down. The sky is clear, the sun is shining bright and hot,
and it becomes difficult to stay out in the hot sun for long. This is, however, 
that time of the year when most of the game seasons are planned and played as the
weather is clear. So, it is one of the high octane times of the year.

This is that time of the year when the trees are full of loads of leaves, and every
plant is full of flowers. People spend most of their time outdoors enjoying the 
sunny days outside. You will see tourists flocking to many beach cities to catch
some sunlight.

## Fall or Autumn Season (September 1st to November 30th)

This is the season when the temperatures start falling again. You will see increased
rainfall in some areas. This is the season when the trees start shedding their leaves.
Many high altitude animals start growing fur as a preparation for the upcoming winter
season, and many gain weight before they can get into a long winter season sleep
called hibernation.

In this season, plants become less active and get dormant. This season witnesses
some cultural harvest festivals, and in America, Thanksgiving is an important homecoming
festival celebrated in this season.

## Winter Season (December 1st to February 29th)

Here comes the season of chills. This is the coldest season characterized by short
days and long cold nights. Trees lose their leaves and get inactive and dormant 
during the winter. Many animals enter a state of hibernation and start their deep
sleep. Other animals move or migrate to warmer regions. People need to wear thick
clothes to keep themselves warm. The winds are freezing and brings ice and snow 
or even cold rains at times.

This is that phase and time of the year when every creature – animal, plants, life
takes a backseat. The landscape and the scenery go in a state of slumber, and many
places get covered with snow or ice.

## Conclusion

Knowing about these seasons is extremely important for many aspects of human lives.
Knowing about the weather and its patterns beforehand helps in planning crops and
their harvesting, horticulture, and garden planning, and to stay prepared for storms
and bad weather or any eventualities.

So now that you are aware of these four weather seasons, you will now be able to
plan things better based on the season. So next time when you plan a holiday or 
want to go to watch a game, you would know when to plan one.
