Summer is the warmest season of the year. It comes after spring and before autumn.
What to look for:
- Weather: Usually the sunniest and hottest time of year. Sometimes we have thunderstorms.
- Plants: Trees are full of green leaves. Many fruits like strawberries and raspberries are ready to eat.
- Animals: Insects like bees, butterflies, and ladybirds are everywhere. Young animals are growing bigger.
- Daylight: The days are very long and the nights are very short.
💡 Fun Facts
- The longest day of the year happens in summer and is called the Summer Solstice.
- Many flowers bloom in summer, which is why bees are so busy collecting nectar to make honey.
- On very hot days, the air can feel sticky. This is because there is a lot of water vapour in the air, which is called humidity.
