Kevadsuveperiood

Kevadsuveperiood, meaning "spring-summer period" in Estonian, refers to the transitional season that bridges spring and summer in Estonia. This period is characterized by a gradual warming of temperatures, increasing daylight hours, and the full emergence of flora and fauna. It typically begins in late May and extends into June, marking the transition from the cooler, more unpredictable weather of spring to the consistently warmer and longer days of summer.

During kevadsuveperiood, natural landscapes undergo significant transformation. Snowmelt is usually complete, and the ground is no longer frozen. Vegetation bursts into full bloom, with trees fully leafing out and wildflowers carpeting meadows. Birdsong becomes more prominent as migratory birds return and nesting activities commence. Many insects, including butterflies and bees, become active, contributing to pollination.

The weather in kevadsuveperiood can be variable. While days are generally getting warmer, there can still be cool nights and occasional unseasonably cold spells. Rainfall is common, helping to sustain the lush greenery. This period is often a favorite for outdoor activities as the harshness of winter has receded, and the full intensity of summer heat has not yet arrived. It is a time of growth, renewal, and increasing activity in the Estonian natural environment.
