Mankind’s Coziest season: Autumn – Erakina

                      The climate around the world changes and people are adapting themselves to it. Some people like summer due to the holidays and spend most of the time playing and eating Icecreams. Some like Winter because of the snow fight, Snow Boarding, and having a Hot bath for refreshment. But the season between summer and winter is called Autumn. The season when the tree leaves shed and give a pleasant climate around. Let’s see in detail about the Autumn season.

The season brings a cold temperature and in some places, Hurricanes can be expected. In this season the trees start to change the color of leaves to Red, Orange, and Yellow. In this season the plants drop their seed and that seed is saved by the animals and Ants as food for winter. The Autumn season is a season of Harvesting. The farmers and gardeners get Apples, pumpkin, pear, and Corn. Autumn has shorter days and longer nights. The Autumn brings rains and clouds with grey in color that gives a misty environment. The Autumn season occurs in the Northern and Southern hemispheres. In the Northern hemisphere, the Autumn season occurs after summer and the time is in September. At this time the Southern hemisphere has the spring season. In the Southern hemisphere, the Autumn season occurs after summer and the time period in March. The Northern hemisphere has the Spring season at this time. The animals get ready themselves at this time to save food and find a new place to survive the cold winter. Some animals like Cats, dogs, rabbits, and birds grow thick fur on their skin to survive the cold winter. Most people get confused about spring and Autumn. 

The Autumn season comes after Summer and Spring comes after winter. The Autumn season decreases the temperature and the Spring increases the temperature. The Autumn season makes the tree leaves shed whereas the Spring makes them grow. But both seasons are friendly towards humans.
