Seasons
Do you remember that temperature changes throughout the day and from day to day?
In Mauritius and Rodrigues, the temperatures do not remain the same throughout the year.
We feel hot during some months of the year and we wear light clothes. This is the summer
season. An example of a summer month is December.
During the other months, we feel cold and we wear warm clothes. This is the winter season.
An example of a winter month is July.
Summer and winter are known as seasons. In Mauritius and Rodrigues there are only
two seasons.
Study gure 7 below.
Apart from December, name two other summer months.
