Sure, Ireland only ever has the rainy season, maybe the windy season too, occasionally...
and now the drinking season has been replaced by the Covid season...let's wait for the next virus and see what the next season be called...  |

"Spring - March, April. May
Summer- June, July, August
Autumn - September, October, November
Winter - the rest "
In Ireland I would say winter is November, December, January, February and half of March |

That's interesting. I'd guess the French for winter comes from hibernation. I don't know any Italian but isnt the word for summer 'green' and spring 'pre-green'?
So the names describe what happens in those cases. Anyone know the Irish for the seasons and whether or not those words describe what happens?
Errm, I guess the quicker question is what is the etymology of spring, summer, autumn and winter... |

Everyone knows that Irish seasons are not defined by months but by the time of day.
Sometimes we can be lucky and have a one season day while others are two or three season days and in extreme cases a four season day.
Rinse and repeat  |

The Irish word for autumn is fomhar, meaning harvest. I'm not aware of any meaning for the others. |
