Sezona

Sezona is a term used in several languages, notably in South Slavic languages and Romanian, to denote a period of the year characterized by particular weather, climate, or ecological activity. It can also refer to a defined period of organized activity, such as a sports season or a television season.

In calendars and cultures, seasons are defined in different ways. Meteorological seasons divide the year into four three-month blocks: spring, summer, autumn (fall), and winter. Astronomical seasons are anchored to the solstices and equinoxes, so their dates shift slightly each year. In the Northern Hemisphere, for example, spring is roughly March to May, summer June to August, autumn September to November, and winter December to February; in the Southern Hemisphere these periods are roughly reversed.

The term is used beyond weather to describe cycles of activity. In sports, a season is the period during which a league or competition runs and determines a champion. In media, a TV or streaming season groups episodes produced for a given year or release cycle. In agriculture, seasons mark planting, growing, and harvest windows. The idea of sezona also extends to tourism, energy use, and cultural traditions tied to particular times of year.

Sezona embodies the broader concept of timing and repetition in human life, linking natural cycles to social and economic patterns. Variations in seasonal timing and intensity reflect regional climates, geography, and growing practices, and can be influenced by climate change and global connectivity.
