Summer

Summer is the warmest season. The sun rises earlier and earlier and sets later and later. In June we have the longest days and the shortest nights. The weather is usually fine, the sky is blue and cloudless, the sun shines brightly in the sky. It is warm and even hot. If the heat gets too oppressive, we can bathe in rivers and lakes, or go to the sea-side. The hot sun ripens the corn, vegetables and fruit, and the farmers get ready for the harvest.
