Elements of the seasons, such as the intensity of summer heatwaves, also indicate that the climate is changing and the planet is heating up. The archive documents below provide examples of how life changes along with the seasons. These changing seasons are some of the most important markers of the year Spring is the season of new growth, with buds growing on trees and many animals and birds being born Summer is the warmest season with plants and flowers growing in Autumn the leaves start to fall off the trees and the weather becomes colder with some animals going into hibernation in Winter the temperature drops even further with frost and sometimes snow, and nothing grows because it is so cold! Each season affects the way plants and animals live, as well as the way we live and the things that we do. In the UK, we have four seasons and each season has its own type of weather.
