Solution
Summer
I live in Chennai. The weather is too hot here. The summer season begins in the month of March and continues till May or June. The temperature goes up to 40°C. We prefer to wear cotton clothes as they keep us cool. We stay hydrated during summer and we drink a lot of fruit juices and eat fruits like watermelon, oranges, cucumbers and also consume more vegetables. We avoid going out frequently. We stay indoors at home or at work spot. During summer, we go to the beach quite often and hilly places to keep ourselves cool and pleasant.
