Show us the seasonal landscape of your country

The Northern and Southern Hemispheres always experience opposite seasons. When we in the Northern Hemisphere enjoy spring, people in the Southern Hemisphere enjoy fall. We all live on the same earth, but we don’t experience the same seasons, and even the same season can be very different, depending on where you are.

Right now, it’s spring in New York. Flowers are blooming, trees are bright green, and the weather is mild. Soon it will be summer, hot and sticky.

What season are you experiencing now? How would you describe the scenery around you? Is it different from what I see?

As you know, Connect is a global community where everyone is invited to discuss many different topics and to share photos. Here are a few examples:

How to say “Thank You” in your Language

Food all around the world

Flowers - with five petals only

Everyday, we learn something new from friends all over the world. Today, can you tell us what you are seeing? Could you show us by sharing a photo?

Instead of uploading the photos here, please share them in the following way:

  1. Add photos that show your current season to the place where you took the photos on Google Maps.
  2. Share the URL from your post on Google Maps in the comments here.

I’ll go first.

Cherry Hill

It’s spring in New York City, but soon it’ll be summer. Luckily, we can still enjoy seeing beautiful cherry blossom trees. There are several great places in New York City to find cherry blossoms, but Cherry Hill is one of the most popular. It is located in the middle of Central Park. I feel spring when I see the cherry blossoms — called “sakura” in Japanese. Many Japanese in New York picnic under the cherry blossoms to enjoy “hanami,” which means flower viewing.

This is the current seasonal landscape of New York. What does the season look like where you are?

Hi @Atsukot

Climate of Maldives

Maldives is located on the equator and therefore experiences monsoonal climate. There are two distinct seasons, dry season (Northeast Monsoon) and wet season (Southwest Monsoon). In these two seasons the temperature varies hardly. Northeast monsoon extends from January to March. Since Maldives consists of small islands and are surrounded by sea, hot days are often tempered by cooling sea breezes and balmy evening temperatures.

Temperature

Throughout the year, temperature remains almost same in the Maldives. However, daily temperature ranges from around 31 degrees Celsius in daytime to 23° Celsius in night time. The highest temperature ever recorded in the Maldives was 36.8°C, recorded on 19 May 1991 at Kadhdhoo Meteorological Office. Likewise, the minimum temperature ever recorded in the Maldives was 17.2°C, recorded at the National Meteorological Centre on 11th April 1978.

The small white boat which you see inside the dark clouds are the boat which we traveled. This is actually a sunshower storm.

Nice post @Atsukot

It’s summer in Gandhinagar city and temperature is above 46 degree at some last days. But during spring to summer find beautiful golden shower trees (Garmalo) around Gandhinagar city.

this tree looks very beautiful with its yellow flowers. I simply love this tree because it is amongst few blooming in hot summer days. starts blooming that can last till the end of summer season.

When this trees blooms, it blooms. Vibrant yellow flowers cover this entire tree in early summer with blooms through fall.

Please see pictures in my this post

Hi @Atsukot

I am sharing the link of Nallamudi View Point in Tamil Nadu in India.

https://goo.gl/maps/Xmf97FUZs1y

I captured the photos in May 2016.

It is the pre-mansoon season. At Nallamudi, fire season was ended and the season for germination of seeds began. You can identify the difference of the colour texture of greenery. Because grasses have just started growing. Some of the areas have not begun the growth. Here after, generally the seedlings of trees start germination, by growing the taproot downwards.

Let us go deeper like a root, you know; stem, branches, leaves, flowers and even the seeds have to flourish on the root.

Nice photo @Atsukot . So, let me share what I visited last week after a sharing session on Local Guides.

It’s one of the attractions in Banteay Meanchey province. The place has a small corner of beautiful yellow flowers and other nice decoration spots, and also some spots for kids.
