Scientist suggests that Australia should have six seasons
The head of the Royal Botanical Gardens in Sydney, Tim Entwisle, has announced that it would be more appropriate for Australia to have six seasons instead of four. The scientist reasons that six seasons would be better suited to Australia’s climate. The two new seasons proposed are ‘sprummer’ which would occur between spring and summer and ‘sprinter’ which would be between winter and spring.
It is suggested that potential benefits of introducing new seasons would be improved monitoring of climate change and aid a better understanding of environmental issues.
Entwisle also put forward the idea of different regions having their own seasons which would match their particular regional climate.
