Winter is one of the four seasons, typically characterized by the coldest weather of the year. It follows autumn and precedes spring in the annual cycle. In most regions, winter is marked by shorter days, longer nights, and lower temperatures. This season often brings precipitation in the form of snow, ice, or rain, depending on the climate and geographical location. In temperate zones, winter can feature a range of conditions, from mild temperatures to severe cold, while in polar regions it is marked by extreme freezing temperatures and prolonged darkness. The season is associated with various cultural practices and holidays, such as Christmas and New Year’s, and influences activities like skiing, snowboarding, and other winter sports.
