The word season is frequently used in our language, while, in its most general and wide use, season is that extension of several days, months, or even years, which are taken into account separately and forming a set, a block.
Series of days, months or years that make up a block
For example, the season of winter. “The snow was desired during the winter season, it only arrived towards the end of it.”
Time in which something habitual is executed or happens
Also, at time during which something happens or is done on a regular basis it will be called the season. “This is not the season for fruits like tangerines, I don't think you will get them.”
Christian religion: division of the liturgical year
On the other hand, at the request of the religion christian we find a reference to this term, since in the churches of this religious current, at Liturgical YearAs the organization of times and formalities contained during the year in the Christian church with the mission of celebrating salvation is called, it is divided into seasons.
Sport: competition period
Also in the sport we will run into seasons, but in this case to name that period of the year in which the most outstanding tournaments of a sport are played.
Now, outside of this time, athletes take the opportunity to vacation and rest from the practice of the sport in question.
Television: cycle of one year or six months during which a program is broadcast
In the television industry and especially with regard to television series, the word season, is also very popular, since in this way it designates a broadcast cycle of a program.
Normally it can involve a calendar year, or six months, then some series have two seasons in the span of a year.
Tourism: low and high season, periods in which tourism demand decreases or increases
In the field of tourism and of all the actors that intervene in this context, companies of transport (planes, boats, buses), hotels, commercial premises, car rental, among others, it is very common to use the concept of season, associated with other terms, such as low and high, to specifically name the periods that can be identified in a square vacation.
The high season in a tourist destination will be that period of the year in which it will be filled with tourists, while in return, the low season, it will be that period of the year in which tourism is low or practically nil because people are not on vacation but in the middle of the year labor and study.
Depending on the place on the planet where you are, these seasons can be determined.
In the southern hemisphere, the arrival of summer marks the beginning of the high season in the sense that we have been talking about, and that we can identify it between the months of December and March, in which the recess also occurs school.
While in the northern hemisphere the peak of the summer high season is located between the months of July and September.
Now, we must also say that not only summer has high and low seasons in tourism, since winter also has it, in a less time, because the school and work break is shorter, in the months of July and August in the southern hemisphere, and between December and January in the North.
During these months, one can also speak in terms of low and high season and then we also find that transfers and passages are more expensive, with more people in ski and snow destinations, which are the most chosen at this time, and of course with accommodation reservations to stop.
Fashion: new or previous collection
For its part, at the behest of fashion, the use of this term is also frequent, to designate that clothing that corresponds to the last design, that is, it is the new, the new season; or to refer to collections from previous years or months, such as from another or old season.
We must emphasize that the cost of the garments differs in relation to the season in which belong, being higher in the current season with respect to previous ones where the garments are cheaper.
Trade: time in which there is greater demand for a product
And in the Commerce The word season also designates a particular and special issue, since in that way the period in which there is a greater demand of a product or service.
Thus, during the summer season there will be a greater demand for air conditioners compared to winter.
