Characteristics

In the Northern Hemisphere, summer occurs in June, July, and August . The southern hemisphere experiences it in the months of December, January and February.

At this time the harvest of various items begins in many countries of the world. On the other hand, it is closely linked to school holidays and some jobs, especially in places where temperatures reach significant numbers: people are allowed to stay at home or travel to other more pleasant places.

The “starting signal” of this season of the year is the summer solstice, which in the northern hemisphere is June 21, while in the south it is December 21.

In countries where the four seasons do not occur, but two of them, it is also known as summer to that time in which there is little rain or total drought. In these places there is only summer (drought) and winter (rains).

Summer ends with the autumnal equinox which is September 22 in the Northern Hemisphere and March 21 in the Southern Hemisphere.

The weather in summer

The temperature is normally between 20 (in colder areas) to 34 ° C; However, in some countries it reaches up to 40 ° C, especially between July and August.

The environment is mostly humid and it can feel like people perspire most of the day.

In some countries the summer forces them to travel outside the city or makes the beaches and lakes fill with people waiting to enjoy the breeze and fresh water.
