Autumn Season

After the rainy season comes the autumn season. By
September, the monsoon winds have rained out fully and
become dry. Then they start to blow back to the seas.
These dry winds cause the tree leaves to fall. This season
lasts until the month of November when the winter
season is ready to set in.

Spring Season

With the end of the winter season, the spring season
starts. At this time, new leaves and new flowers bloom.
The land looks fresh and green. Due to this season being
cool and refreshing, it is called the queen of all seasons .
