Don’t we all love a good, long holiday? One with no work, no stress, and no pressure. One with unmatched fun and good vibes. For this reason, there is that one time of the year kids always look forward to, the summer holiday. You can tell by their excitement when they voice out their plans at the beginning of the break.
They do not have to worry about waking up early, getting their assignments done before the next day, or sitting in a classroom for long hours. Instead, it is the time they get to play all day and do as they like.
Though there are other holidays in the school calendar, the difference between the summer holiday and every other holiday is its length. This is why it is sometimes referred to as a “long holiday,” and it marks the end of the academic calendar.
However, not only kids benefit from this season. Some offices are not fully operational in summer, and their staff also get some extra free time.
The summer season is accompanied by longer days and shorter nights. This and the seemingly long break account for the frequent activities and celebrations during the season. The beach is unarguably the most visited place because of the season’s heat.
During summer, the sun and the earth are closer than at other times. As a result, it is the hottest season of the year. It is also the time of the year farmers prepare to cultivate their crops in Autumn.
However, in some regions, summer tends to be too harsh on the people and animals living in that area. As a result of the little rainfall, water bodies dry up and displace the animals living in those habitats.
