ljeta

Ljeta, also known as summer, is the warmest season of the year in temperate and polar regions. It occurs between spring and autumn. The specific dates of the beginning and end of summer vary according to climate, tradition, and culture. In meteorology, summer is the warmest of the four temperate seasons, occurring after spring and before autumn. In some regions, it is known as the hot season, which lasts from the summer solstice in June to the autumnal equinox in September.

The term "ljeta" is derived from the Slavic language, where it means "summer." It is used in several Slavic languages, including Croatian, Serbian, and Bosnian. In these languages, the word is often used to refer to the summer season, as well as to the period of time spent on vacation or holiday.

Summer is characterized by long days and short nights, with the sun at its highest point in the sky. This results in increased ultraviolet radiation and higher temperatures. The weather during summer is usually warm or hot, with clear skies and sunny days. However, it can also be accompanied by thunderstorms, heatwaves, and other weather phenomena.

In many cultures, summer is a time for outdoor activities, such as swimming, hiking, and camping. It is also a time for festivals, celebrations, and holidays. In some regions, summer is a time for agricultural activities, such as harvesting and planting. In others, it is a time for leisure and relaxation.
