Last year, I went to Argentina and I discovered an amazing thing about the seasons. We all know that
there are four seasons: winter, spring, summer and autumn. But here´s the thing: Argentina is in the
Southern Hemisphere, so its four seasons are the opposite to the USA, which is the Northern
Hemisphere!
The summer months in Argentina are from December to March, so the weather at Christmas is usually
sunny and very hot. And the winter months are from June to August, when it´s usually cold, rainy and
cloudy. From March to May, which is autumn in Argentina, the weather is normally cold and windy. And
in spring, which is from September to November, the weather is warm, but it can be rainy sometimes!
