Improved Essays
Lounging in a chair drinking ice cold water, thinking of how nice winter will feel when it approaches or waiting for your car to warm up, thinking about how nice the summer sun will feel. We've all been here and thought the same way. We don't always realize it, but our way of living changes as the seasons change. What we wear and the temperature are two very noticeable changes. But there are also many different changes to go along with those two. Throughout this writing, you will read about the differences between summer and winter.
When in winter or summer, there is always sports going on. In winter you can choose to either watch basketball, wrestling, hockey, or volleyball. These two sports are very big and are watched and played by millions. Once summer rolls around you have a vaster selection of sports. You can choose from football, track, baseball, rugby, soccer, and tennis. You can play any sport in any season but in these seasons, is where the team's actual season begins.

In Iowa for example, the average temperature in the summer reaches up to 60.3 and in the winter, its gets low as 14 on average. These are two very noticeable changes but it very astounding to look at the numbers and really think of how cold or hot it gets. Many people in Iowa love the cold weather, but many also hate it and love the warm sun.
While in summer, most people wear light clothes to stay cool. While in winter many people wear layers of clothes to stay warm. This brings me to my next difference, clothing. Since there is such a difference in the temperatures, it requires you to dress very differently. Most people in warm summer weather prefer to wear shorts and a short-sleeve shirt. In winter people almost have to wear a coat with pants to keep your body temperature warm. This may be an oblivious difference but the way we dress changes drastically, our entire wardrobe

    There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury and Searching for Summer by Joan Aiken are two stories set in a coincidentally similar setting, but they are extremely different in nearly every other way. First of all, these two short stories have very different plots. There Will Come Soft Rains is about the last “survivor” of a disaster, where the “surviving” house is finally defeated and burnt down. Searching for Summer is about a young couple, who are trying to find the last bits of sunshine to have their honeymoon in. Also, the tones of the stories are completely opposite.…

    In the spring weather is unpredictable and can change from a bright sunny sky to torrential rain in a matter of hours. Spring is also the time when snow can be seen at high altitudes while it’s a nice 65 degrees in the valleys (U.S.). Summer in the mountains calls for unrelenting heat and humidity. Temperatures can rise to the mid 90s in the valley but will rarely enter a temperature above 80 at the higher elevations. Fall sees a drop of temperatures across the board.…

    Summer vs. winter Driving in the summer or driving in the winter both has its challenges. Different temperatures and changes in weather can affect the way we drive. For example, in the winter, roads get icy making it easier for accidents. During the summer, your car will wear out faster and your tires will tear due to hot temperatures. The laws of driving will stay the same throughout both seasons even though they require different driving skills.…

    To begin with, I will be comparing how driving in the summer and driving in the winter are different and how they are also alike. There are different skills that are needed for driving in the summer versus driving in the winter. To start, driving in the winter can be more difficult to drive through and that is because of the weather conditions. In winter, the weather is always changing,it could be rain, snow, sleet, hail, and all four of them can be very difficult to drive through because it can make it hard for the driver to see where they are going. Furthermore, Summer is probably the easiest to drive through and this is because in summer the weather is mostly hot and dry, making it easier to drive and easier to see where you are going.…

    similarities and differences between other Asian countries as well as what the economy is capable of based on the geography and weather patterns, as these play large roles in the country’s productions. Temperature extremes are noticed in the summer and winter months, much like what we experience here in parts of America, and these extremes are a major concern for the monsoons that occur that alter the precipitation patterns throughout the seasons. Because South Korea is so close to the rest of Asia, it shares much of the same amount of precipitation that is experienced across the lands. More than half of the precipitation that is experienced in South Korea occurs during the summer monsoon from June to September. Winter precipitation is snow,…
