The official seasons are:
Summer - Dec , Jan, Feb
Autumn/Fall - Mar, Apr, May
Winter - Jun, Jul, Aug
Spring - Sep ,Oct, Nov
But they really don't represent the climate
In the north around Darwin it's really Wet (Oct-Apr) and Dry (May-Sep) seasons due to the monsoons
Further south Brisbane, Sydney, Perth
Summer - Nov, Dec , Jan, Feb, Mar
Autumn/Fall - Apr, May, Jun
Winter -Jul
Spring - Aug, Sep , Oct
And in Tasmania where I am
Summer - Jan, Feb
Autumn/Fall - Mar, Apr, May
Winter - Jun, Jul, Aug. Sep
Spring - Oct , Nov Dec |

Summer is just HOT, HOT, HOT!
Autumn is the RAINY SEASON, VERY WET.
Winter is cold-no snow, tho.

People seem to be sprouting up all sorts of different stories to answer this question!
Officially, summer = december thru february. autumn = march thru may. winter = june thru august. spring = september thru november.
Depending on where you live in the country, you might have longer/shorter periods of each month, but "officially", the seasons and months are as i've put above. |
