As you learned earlier in this course, the weather in France varies depending on which region you are in. In the mountains to the east and south, they have snowy winters and hotter summers. On the southern coast, the summers are very hot. There, the spring, fall, and winter are usually nice, but they can be chilly, windy, and rainy. The west coast of France doesn’t get much snow in the winter, but it is cold and rainy. It also doesn’t get very hot in the summer.
For this next activity, read the description of the weather. Then pick what season it most likely is.
