Schools typically close for summer vacations, making it a time for travel to cooler hill stations. Culturally, it is the season of the mango , India’s national fruit, and refreshing treats like ice cream and cold juices are in high demand.
Unlike many Western countries that experience four distinct seasons (spring, summer, autumn, and winter), India traditionally classifies its climate into three main seasons. This classification is largely based on the tropical monsoon climate and the varying positions of the sun and wind patterns throughout the year.
The three seasons of India are not just changes in weather; they dictate the rhythm of life for over a billion people. The summer prepares the land, the monsoon provides the water, and the winter allows for harvest and preservation. Understanding this cycle is essential to understanding India's agriculture, economy, and cultural heritage.
