Winter is often defined by meteorologists to be the three calendar months with the lowest average temperatures. This corresponds to the months of December, January and February in the Northern Hemisphere, and June, July and August in the Southern Hemisphere.
Winter, coldest season of the year, between autumn and spring; the name comes from an old Germanic word that means ‘time of water’ and refers to the rain and snow of winter in middle and high latitudes.
While winter is typically associated with hibernation, it is also a season brimming with joyous festivities and celebrations. Popular winter festivals around the world add a vibrant touch to this season.
The answer may surprise you. Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
The meaning of WINTER is the season between autumn and spring comprising in the northern hemisphere usually the months of December, January, and February or as reckoned astronomically extending from the December solstice to the March equinox.
