Let's look at seasons in Georgia! These thermometers show a usual afternoon in Atlanta in each season.
Georgia summers are hot, about 90 degrees. Winters are mild, about 50 degrees. Spring and fall are in between.
Atlanta gets only a little snow, about 3 inches in a whole year, and some years none at all! The mountains in north Georgia get more.
Peaches ripen in summer. Leaves turn red and gold in the mountains in fall. And in spring, yellow pollen covers everything!
Try it with a grown-up! Check the temperature once a week all year, and see Georgia's pattern for yourself.
