The Seasons and Latitude

• The further away from the equator an area is, the greater the difference between seasons.

• This is because the change in angle towards the sun is greater and the change in day length is greater between the seasons.

• Equatorial regions experience little seasonal variation in terms of temperature. Instead of the four seasons, they experience a wet season and a dry season.

• Polar regions experience the greatest temperature variations between seasons. They experience a much longer winter than summer and a very short spring and autumn.

• Mid-latitude regions, between the equator and the poles, typically experience a distinct four-season year.
