Winter

Winter is one of the four seasons, typically characterized by cold temperatures, shorter days, and longer nights. In temperate regions, winter is associated with snowfall and freezing weather, while in tropical areas, it may correspond to a dry season. The season usually spans from December to February in the Northern Hemisphere and from June to August in the Southern Hemisphere. Winter marks a period of dormancy for many plants and some animals, as they adapt to harsh conditions. It is often associated with various cultural events and holidays, such as Christmas and New Year’s, emphasizing themes of rest, reflection, and celebration amidst the cold.
