Spring is an exciting time of the year! Did you know there are many cool things about spring apart from the warm weather?
Changeable weather
During spring, the bad weather can be all over the place. That is because warm air from the south and cold air from the north are fighting, making the weather really changeable. It is like nature’s way of keeping us guessing!
Newborn baby animals
Lots of baby animals are born in spring. Deer, squirrels, foxes and even whales welcome their little ones during spring when it is warm and food is easy to find.

Spring happiness
Spring can make you feel much happier. As the weather gets warmer, your brain makes more serotonin(血清素), something that can make you feel happy.
Different time periods(时间段)
Do you know that spring doesn’t start at the same time everywhere? In the northern hemisphere, spring begins in March, but for people in the southern hemisphere, it starts in September. So, while some people are enjoying spring, people in the other hemisphere are experiencing autumn!
