Seasons In Bangladesh - Composition

 From the climatic point of view, we have six seasons - summer, rainy season, autumn, late autumn, winter, and spring.

Summer begins from the third week of April and continues upto the end of June. It is the hottest season of the year. The sun sometimes seems to scorch the earth. So, people generally keep indoors at noon as far as practicable. Most of the tanks and ponds dry up. There are occasional storms in the afternoon, generally known as 'nor-westers', causing great damage to trees and thatched houses.

The rainy season extends from the end of June to the end of August. These are the months of rain. Tanks and ponds and canals get filled up. Sometimes, it rains heavily. As a result, it causes floods and damages crops and properties.

Autumn in Bangladesh comprises the months of September and October. The sky gets clear and we often enjoy the beauty of moon light in all its sweetness. Paddy is harvested in the season.

After the disappearance of autumn, late autumn comes. Paddy ripens in the late autumn. Dew drops fall on grass and leaves of trees glisten like pearls in the morning sun.

Winter begins fall in November and lasts till the middle of February. These are cold months, very comfortable to the rich, but uncomfortable to the poor. We get better supply of fish and different kinds of vegetables in this time.

Spring extends from the middle of February to the second week of April. It is the season of greenery and flowers. Indeed plants and trees put forth leaves and the gardens charm the eye with a variety of beautiful flowers.

Each season has its own features and characteristics - its special crops, vegetables, grains, and fruits. Nature has made our land beautiful and plentiful with these seasons.
