Spring Summer Fall Winter
breezy thunder chilly freezing showers lightning rainy overcast damp scorching flurries humid blizzard muggy Script
In spring, the city of Washington is breezy and there are frequent showers. The ground is very damp, so flowers begin sprouting. When summer comes, there may be storms with thunder and lightning, or it can be scorching hot. Late summer gets humid, and people try to avoid the muggy heat in the city by going to the countryside or the beach. In the fall, we enjoy the crisp cool days of October before it gets chilly and rainy in November. Winter brings freezing rain, low temperatures and overcast skies. School children hope that light flurries of snow will change into a blizzard so their school will be closed for a few days.
