India has three main seasons. Each season is different and special.
Let us learn about the seasons!
The Three Seasons of India
| Season | When | Weather | What We Wear |
|---|---|---|---|
| Summer | March to June | Very hot and sunny. Days are long. | Light cotton clothes. Shorts and T-shirts. |
| Rainy (Monsoon) | July to September | Lots of rain. Clouds in the sky. Cool and wet. | Raincoat, umbrella, gumboots. |
| Winter | October to February | Cold. Nights are long. Sometimes foggy. | Warm clothes — sweater, jacket, woollen cap. |
Summer Season
In summer, the sun shines very brightly. It is very hot outside. We drink lots of water and cold drinks like nimbu pani and lassi. We eat mangoes, watermelons, and ice cream. We stay indoors during the afternoon.
Rainy Season (Monsoon)
In the rainy season, dark clouds fill the sky and it rains heavily. The weather becomes cool and pleasant. Rivers and ponds fill up with water. Farmers are very happy because rain helps their crops grow. We see rainbows after the rain.
Winter Season
In winter, the weather is cold. We wear warm clothes like sweaters and jackets. We drink hot tea, soup, and milk. We sit in the sun to feel warm. In some places, it gets very cold and foggy in the morning.
