These meteorological seasons were created for the purposes of meteorological and climatological forecasting and research. After this date, the days start getting “shorter,” i.e., the length of daylight starts to decrease. Winter runs from December 1 to February 28 (February 29 in a leap year). untouched snow is beautiful, Submitted by Bryan Christoph... on August 7, 2020 - 7:50pm. In most cultures, including all western countries, the year is commonly divided into four seasons: Since the year has 12 months, each season lasts about three months. Summer runs from June 1 to August 31; 3. Based on 30 years of climate records, our map shows when you can expect to see temperatures dip to 32°F or below for the last time. Conversely, when Earth is farthest from the Sun, it travels more slowly, resulting in a longer spring and summer. The 12 months of the year are linked to the Moon's orbit around Earth. The same rule applies for the other seasons. Beach days, blooming flowers! My husband was from Pa. and hated cold weather but He hated shoveling it too. Fall is by far my the best season, beautiful colors and lovely weather. This also causes the exact date of the solstices and equinoxes to vary. A wet season is when the average precipitation of an area is 2.4 inches (60 millimeters) or more, according to the British Broadcasting Company (BBC). These meteorological seasons were created for the purposes of meteorological and climatological forecasting and research. Both the Astronomical and Meteorological seasons are listed here. December to February marks meteorological winter in the Northern Hemisphere and meteorological summer in the southern.

Earth’s tilt and the sun’s alignment over the equator determine both the solstices and equinoxes. After this date, the days start getting “longer,” i.e., the amount of daylight begins to increase. Astronomical seasons are based on the position of Earth in relation to the sun, whereas the meteorological seasons follow the calendar year and are based on the annual temperature cycle. Many people have never heard of meteorological seasons, and even those that have probably are confused, or at least curious as to why there's a difference.

Iced tea consumption goes down and cider, both cold and hot, increases. You may have noticed that meteorologists and climatologists define seasons differently from “regular” or astronomical spring, summer, fall, and winter. Rather, they prefer to deal with data from whole rather than fractions of months, and align calendar dates more closely with the temperatures felt during that period, the scheme (which has been around since the early- to mid-1900s) allows weather scientists to more easily compare weather patterns from one season to another -- something the astronomical convention makes cumbersome due to seasonal lag (the delay in seasonal temperatures settling in).
