Many Indonesian do not know the four seasons : summer, autumn, winter, and spring. In Indonesia, there are only two seasons, the dry and wet seasons.
In countries with four seasons, the temperature differs greatly from season to season. To some of us, summer weather is familiar. Its temperature or heats is almost the same as that of our dry season.
Following the hot summer days, comes autumn, an nature begins to change. The green leaves fall to the earth, leaving the trees with nothing on their branches. Autumn is always beautiful. The falling leaves are colorful. Cool air makes the season the most popular time for picnics. Finally everything is dull.
In winter, snows starts to fall, making the earth and everything white. The temperature drops, and the weather is very cold, just the opposite of that in summer. In the northern part of the globe, the temperature may decrease many degrees below zero.
Then comes spring. Springs seems to give a new life to nature. Having seen mostly white all winter long, people always welcome early spring joyfully,. Young leaves start to grow on the branches of trees. More beautiful grow after some showers which often come during the season. Nature is now ready for the next season, summer.
