Arab Weather - Winter is one of the four seasons of the year, and this season comes directly after autumn.

It is worth noting that winter begins in the Southern Hemisphere on June 21st and continues until September 22nd of each Gregorian year.

What is the difference between the beginning of winter astronomically and the beginning of winter in meteorology?

Astronomically, winter officially begins on the winter solstice and continues until the vernal equinox. Astronomically, the four seasons depend on the Earth's position relative to the sun and the tilt of its axis. In meteorology, the beginnings of the seasons change based on the annual thermal cycle and climate patterns. According to meteorology, winter in the Northern Hemisphere begins at the beginning of December and ends at the end of February.

 

And God knows best.
