In Autumn, the weather starts to get cooler. In some areas, the leaves of trees like maple and oak trees change colour and fall off the trees. Autumn colours can be beautiful. Autumn is the season that follows summer and comes before winter. In the southern hemisphere, autumn starts in March and runs through April and May. In the northern hemisphere, Autumn (or Fall) starts in September and runs into October and November. In Australia, we say that Autumn officially begins on the first of March. In other countries, Autumn (or Fall) officially begins on the autumnal equinox and finishes at the winter solstice.

Winter is the coldest season of the year. It's time to rug up warmly and enjoy sitting by the fire. Snow falls in some areas during winter. We play sports like Aussie Rules, Rugby and Netball in the winter. You can also try your hand at skiing if you are lucky enough to visit the snow. In the southern hemisphere, winter starts in June and runs into July and August. In the northern hemisphere, the winter months are December, January and February. We officially begin winter on the first of June in Australia. Other countries officially begin winter at the winter solstice and end it at the spring equinox.
