Happy Meteorological Winter, 2024 to 2025



Winter officially begins in the Northern Hemisphere this year on December 21. For meteorologists, the winter season actually starts on December 1, with Meteorological Winter.
 
Meteorologists break down the seasons into groups of three months, December, March, June and September. And each season starts on the First of each of these months

And, by the way, the Hurricane Season is done for 2024. It begins again on the first day of Meteorological Summer, June 1.

This month, we will enjoy a full moon on the 15th, meteor showers called the Leonids from November 3 to December 2, the December phi Cassiopeiids, activity on December 4, the  Ursids from December 16 to 26, and finally, on December 7, Jupiter opposition. The biggest planet in the solar system will be on display in the December sky after sundown.

And for children of all ages, Santa will be arriving on December 24 on Christmas Eve. Then, on the night of the 25th, kids will spin their dradles and parents will light their Menorahs to celebrate the eight nights of Hanukkah.

It is a wondrous time of year.

Soon enough it will be getting light out earlier each night. Don’t forget, as of December 1, there are seventy days to the Super Bowl and seventy-five days to Valentines Day, and Pitchers and Catchers. And ninety days to Meteorological Spring on March 1.

Can Opening Day be far behind?
