Temperatures begin to drop, and deciduous trees lose their leaves. In many cultures, this is the traditional time for harvesting crops before the frost. 4. Winter (The Season of Dormancy)
For the year 2026, the specific astronomical transitions are as follows: Northern Hemisphere (Astronomical) Southern Hemisphere (Astronomical) March 20 – June 20 September 23 – December 21 June 21 – September 21 December 22 – March 19 (2027) September 22 – December 20 March 20 – June 20 December 21 – March 19 (2027) June 21 – September 22 Two Ways to Define Seasons Astronomical Seasons : These are defined by (when day and night are roughly equal) and
Meteorologists and climatologists use a different system. They break the year into four three-month periods based on the annual temperature cycle and the Gregorian calendar. This makes record-keeping and data comparison much simpler. March 1 to May 31. Summer: June 1 to August 31. Autumn: September 1 to November 30. Winter: December 1 to February 28 (or 29). 3. The Hemispheric Difference when do the four seasons start and end
As the Earth continues its orbit, the tilt moves us away from the sun again.
Following the gentle growth of spring is the peak of the solar year: summer. During these months, the hemisphere is at its maximum tilt toward the sun, resulting in the longest days and the most intense heat.
