Introduction
We count six seasons in India. They are the summer season, the rainy season, the autumn season, the dewy season, the winter season and the spring season.
Their characteristics
Summer season covers the two months April and May. In this season it is too hot.
Tanks and ponds go dry. Animals suffer for want of water. People cannot work in the field. Our bodies perspire.
The rainy season covers June and July. It rains heavily during these months. Ponds and tanks are filled with water. Crops and vegetables are grown in plenty. Terrible floods come in the rivers. Thunder, lightning and violent wind are the common features of this season.
Autumn reigns in August and September
This is the season of dry clouds and clear moon. Floods in the rivers subside. The muddy water is no more seen. Mud goes down and water looks clean and blue.
October and November are the months of dewy season. In this season, dew falls on the grounds. The dew drops are quite visible on the blades of grass.
Winter rules over December and January. These are the months of biting cold. People save themselves by fire and blankets. Water becomes snow and ice in the Himalayas.
Spring covers the months of February and March. This is the season of gentle wind, singing cuckoo, new leaves and coloured flowers.
Natural scenery in different seasons
In summer, there is no mud and no dew. Everything looks dry and hot. The sky is quite clear. The summer moon beams bright. The groves of mango and palm trees display thier beauty of shade. Kinds of summer flowers bloom in the evening.
In the rainy season, the earth is covered with green grass. The trees and creepers appear green and gay. The clouds in the sky are coloured with the rays of the hiding sun. The rainbow is visible, time and often. Many flowers bloom in this season. The ferry-boats play along the rivers. Open umbrellas make a beautiful sight.
In autumn, the sky is dotted with dry clouds. The glossy moon plays hide-and-seek. Water looks clean and blue. Many autumnal flowers bloom in this season.
In the dewy season, the dew drops fall in the morning. Patches of dew are seen on the blades of green grass. The drops of dew look like pearls. The morning sun reflects on them. It is also a season of beautiful flower.
In the winter we see sights of haze and fog. The Sun reflects on the snow of the Himalayas: Children look beautiful In winter, we see the sights of haze and fog. The sun with their many coloured attires. These are their winter garments. Many kinds of winter flowers bloom in this season.
Spring is the season of new leaves on the trees and creepers. This is the season of flowers. The murmur of the gentle breeze passes through the boughs. The koils blow their melodious music. The sky is dotted with the twinkling stars in night. The cool moon beams through them.
Their connection with Agriculture
The rainy season is quite necessary for agriculture. People grow many kinds of crop in the rainy season. In the winter season people raise many winter crops like ground-nuts and oil seeds. The summer season evaporates water from the earth. These vapours are rained in the rainy-season which help agriculture. Hence, summer also helps our farming.
The season you like best
I like the summer season very much. Because in summer the days are long and the nights are short. Hence, I got more time to play in the summer days. The days are hot but the nights are cool and gay. The moonlit nights in summer are very amusing. In this season I get plenty of ripe mangoes and jackfruits. I get many pineapples which I like to taste. Paths are dry and clean and I can go anywhere with ease and pleasure. So, I like summer more than other seasons.
