Summer

Summer is one of the four temperate seasons, marked by the warmest time of year with the longest days.

When it is summer in the southern hemisphere it is winter in the northern hemisphere, and vice versa. According to meteorologists, summer extends for the whole months of December, January and February in the southern hemisphere, and the whole months of June, July and August in the northern hemisphere. From the astronomical perspective, days continue to lengthen from equinox to solstice and days begin to shorten after the solstice.

In southern and Southeast Asia, where the monsoon occurs, summer ends with the onset of the monsoon rains.
