The Four Seasons
Do you know the four seasons? They are spring, summer, autumn (you can also say fall), and winter. Each season has different weather.
Let’s start with spring. In spring, the weather is often rainy. When rain falls, you see little puddles on the ground. Sometimes it is windy, and the wind blows gently. The temperature is warm – not too hot and not too cold. After a rainy day, you might see a beautiful rainbow in the sky. It is a good idea to wear a raincoat or carry an umbrella. Don’t forget your boots to keep your feet dry!
The Four Seasons / Четыре времени года
Do you know the four seasons (времена года)? They are spring (весна), summer (лето), autumn (осень) (you can also say fall (осень)), and winter (зима). Each season (время года) has different weather (погода).
Let’s start with spring (весна). In spring (весна), the weather (погода) is often rainy (дождливо). When rain (дождь) falls, you see little puddles (лужи) on the ground. Sometimes it is windy (ветрено), and the wind (ветер) blows gently. The temperature (температура) is warm (тепло) – not too hot (жарко) and not too cold (холодно). After a rainy (дождливый) day, you might see a beautiful rainbow (радуга) in the sky. It is a good idea to wear a raincoat (дождевик) or carry an umbrella (зонт). Don’t forget your boots (сапоги) to keep your feet dry (сухо)!
Next comes summer. In summer, the weather is usually sunny and hot. The sky is blue, and there are no clouds. Sometimes it is dry for many days. Because it is hot, you can wear a T-shirt, shorts, a hat, and sunglasses. The temperature is high. Summer is great for playing outside.
Next comes summer (лето). In summer (лето), the weather (погода) is usually sunny (солнечно) and hot (жарко). The sky is blue, and there are no clouds (облака). Sometimes it is dry (сухо) for many days. Because it is hot (жарко), you can wear a T-shirt (футболка), shorts (шорты), a hat (шляпа or шапка), and sunglasses (солнечные очки). The temperature (температура) is high. Summer (лето) is great for playing outside.
After summer, we have autumn. In autumn, the weather becomes cool and cloudy. The sky is often full of grey clouds. It can be rainy again. You might need your raincoat and umbrella. The wind becomes stronger, so it is often windy. The temperature is cool – not warm and not cold.
After summer (лето), we have autumn (осень). In autumn (осень), the weather (погода) becomes cool (прохладно) and cloudy (облачно). The sky is often full of grey clouds (облака). It can be rainy (дождливо) again. You might need your raincoat (дождевик) and umbrella (зонт). The wind (ветер) becomes stronger, so it is often windy (ветрено). The temperature (температура) is cool (прохладно) – not warm (тепло) and not cold (холодно).
Finally, we have winter. In winter, the weather is cold and often snowy. When snow falls, you see many snowflakes. One piece of snow is called a snowflake. The ground can become icy, so be careful! You need warm clothes: a coat, a sweater, gloves, a scarf, and boots. Sometimes there is a storm with thunder and lightning. When the sky is full of clouds and there is a lot of rain, wind, thunder, and lightning, we say it is stormy. On very foggy days, you cannot see far because fog is like a low cloud near the ground.
Finally, we have winter (зима). In winter (зима), the weather (погода) is cold (холодно) and often snowy (снежно). When snow (снег) falls, you see many snowflakes (снежинки). One piece of snow (снег) is called a snowflake (снежинка). The ground can become icy (обледенело), so be careful! You need warm (тёплая) clothes: a coat (пальто), a sweater (свитер), gloves (перчатки), a scarf (шарф), and boots (сапоги). Sometimes there is a storm (буря) with thunder (гром) and lightning (молния). When the sky is full of clouds (облака) and there is a lot of rain (дождь), wind (ветер), thunder (гром), and lightning (молния), we say it is stormy (бурно). On very foggy (туманно) days, you cannot see far because fog (туман) is like a low cloud (облако) near the ground.
