Climate

One of the best aspects of El Salvador's climate is the year  long warmth. Even though we still follow the Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter order, the weather in each season is different from the northern hemisphere, and the time it happens on is also different. The stations are different because we base them on the rain fall, which is a very important things for the big agriculture that takes place in the country. 

Summer in El Salvador is from November to April, when in the US this period would be Winter and Spring. This is called Summer because the rainfall during this period is minimal, and the temperature is the hottest during the first months of the year. As done in the US, summer is the time for school and college vacations, so in my country public schools, the schools that follow the national system, have vacation form September to late January. I always followed the American system because I went to an American school, and all the other private schools follow the American system as well. 

Winter is from May to October. This is the rainy season in El Salvador. Although it's "winter" it rarely gets cold during this period. What does happen is humidity and lots and lots of rain. This is the season that most farmers love because of the rain that benefits their crops so much. Some other climate changes during these months can be winds, but it is not a drastic change from summer. 

One great thing, at least for me, about this climate is that it never gets cold. The average temperature for an average day is 75 degrees Fahrenheit. During the summer it get hotter reaching up to ten degrees more. But during the winter the coldest it will get is 70 degrees, which is not cold at all. If you want a more chilly climate there are some places you can find it like in the Volcano or the mountains.
