Seasons Change…

Posted by: Jan Smith in Student Life, tags: environment, seasons, weather

…but not the same way

or at the same time everywhere.

We can thank the tilt of the Earth’s axis for that. If you live in the southern hemisphere, you are about to enter Fall, and in the northern hemisphere Spring is on its way. Closer to the equator the differences may be more subtle depending on the climate.

Here on the West Coast of Canada we are just feeling the signs of Spring. Warmer days, the crocuses have bloomed, and we can see leaf buds on the trees. I especially love the sound of robins in the morning.

So tell us in a post (and link here) or leave a comment:

What is the season where you live? Have you noticed changes that tell you a new season has begun?
Seasonal change affects what we can do–do you have favourite activities that are suited to only one season? And do you have a favourite season?
Has climate change affected the length or intensity of changes in weather where you live? How are plants, animals, and people affected?

If you can, why not take a picture of a tree or a garden that shows your season and add it to your blog?

Hello! We are from Argentina, Buenos Aires. We are in autumn now. Leaves have started falling and have different colours. The weather is changing having some hot or chilly days, especially in the morning and in the evenings. In the north part of our country it is very hot now even if we are in autumn and the south part it is very cold.

Hi,
We are from Russia, Siberia. It is spring now. Birds are sining and the sun is shining brightly! Sometimes it rains.But the weather gets gradually warmer.
Climate change has affected winters in my place. They used to be very cold (about 40-45 C) but now they are not.
