Summer

Region-appropriate tendencies in sunlight, temperature, and vegetation can suggest summer.

Visual traits

• variable sunlight
• variable temperature tendency
• region-appropriate vegetation

Expected changes

• Region-appropriate tendencies in sunlight, temperature, or vegetation are more likely to appear.
• The setting is more likely to read as a season between spring and autumn.

Definition

Summer is a seasonal environment between spring and autumn, with cues such as strong sunlight, high temperatures, and abundant vegetation varying by region. It does not determine sea, vacation, particular clothing, region, calendar, festival, weather, or emotion.

In more detail

Seasonal tendencies in sunlight, temperature, and vegetation can be used when needed, but they do not look the same in every region. Season is distinct from a particular region's calendar or festival and from leisure activity.

Includes

• A seasonal environment between spring and autumn.
• Region-appropriate tendencies in sunlight, temperature, or vegetation.

Excludes

• A sea or vacation scene.
• Particular clothing, region, calendar, or festival.
• Particular weather or emotion.

What this does not imply

• Sea or vacation.
• Particular clothing, region, calendar, or festival.
• Particular weather or emotion.

Variability

Summer appearance varies with latitude, region, vegetation, and weather, so it is not fixed to one landscape.

Usage

• Specify only the season and add region or weather when needed.

Distinguish similar expressions

• Specify sea, vacation, clothing, calendar, festival, and culture separately.

Typical uses

• Add a summer seasonal environment to people, animals, interiors, or landscapes.

Possible failure modes

• Sea or vacation becomes mandatory, fixing the setting beyond the season.
• A particular regional calendar or festival is introduced without specification.
