The Summer Season



 Introduction : India is a indeed a continent. Here season is not the same throughout the country. When it is hottest in the plains, Shimla, Mussoorie and Darjeeling are very cold. When there is winter in west coast of India heavy rain falls on the coast of coromandel.

Extreme heat in summer : The Indian summer is the hottest season in the whole of year. The rays of the sun fall perpendicularly. Hence it is difficult to walk in the day. At midday we do not like to go out of doors because the heat is intense. The light is blinding in the day. We can do a little work only in the morning. The rich people make use of electric fans and coolers. Generally the greater part of the day is wasted. Sometime it is very close. We drink glass of water again and again.



School and Colleges : School and colleges hours are changed during summer. All institutions work in the morning. They are closed for all the summer. All educational offices work only up to moon. All offices and some of big shop use curtains. Chicks and curtains are used nearly in every house. They are kept wet during the day.

Scarcity of water : Small rivers, ponds and tanks go dry in the season. There is scarcity of water everywhere. The water in the wells sink low. Cattle find grazing grounds dry. The grass becomes withered and insufficient. Hence cattle quench their thirst with muddy and foul water.

Condition of beasts and birds : During summer beasts pant for breath. They seek shade and sit under it for rest. They do not like to wander in the burning heat. The birds hide themselves in the branches of trees or holes of walls. Ponds and tanks dry up. The sky look copper-red. The earth under the feet is hardened and hot. It is so hot that one cannot walk bare-footed.

Fruits in summer :  Summer is the season of best fruits in our country. Mangoes, water-melon, Ani, Oranges and tasty fruits come in the market. These fruits quench out thirst during this dry season.

Morning is the best time :  The early morning is the most pleasant  in summer. It is quite free from the terrible heat or the day. cool breeze in the early hours of the day. The lovely bird sing their sweet songs.

Conclusion : The days are long. The heat goes on increasing till the afer-soon. Even the sun-set fails to give relief. Hot wind still goes on. It is after 8 o'clock at night that there is a little coolness. People generally sleep in the open space. Fans work to give us relief.
