The summer months are June, July and August. Summers are hot, the weather is beautiful. The sky is clear, the long days and short nights. In summer, you can spend time on the sea. Autumn months are September, October and November. The days are getting shorter, often rains. The leaves on the trees turn yellow and fall off. Everything freezes. Winter months are December, January and February. The days are getting shorter and the nights longer. In the winter cold, snowing. Occasionally the sun shines. In winter, a lot of holidays. My favorite winter holiday is New Year.
