🌧️ What Is the Rainy Season?
A Fun Guide for Kids to Learn About Rain, Clouds, and Wet Weather!
Have you ever looked outside and seen dark clouds, puddles on the ground, and raindrops falling from the sky? That means it’s the rainy season — a special time of year when it rains more often than usual!
☁️ What Happens During the Rainy Season?
The rainy season is when lots of rain falls over many days or weeks. It usually happens in warm places and helps plants, trees, and animals stay healthy. In some countries, like the Philippines, the rainy season starts around June and lasts until November.
🌦️ What Causes Rain?
Rain comes from clouds in the sky. Here’s how it works:
-
The Sun heats up water in oceans, lakes, and rivers.
-
That water turns into water vapor and rises into the sky.
-
The vapor cools down and forms clouds.
-
When clouds get heavy, they release water as rain!
This process is called the water cycle, and it keeps our planet fresh and clean.
