dry seasons
Rainless times yearly
Dry seasons are periods of the year with little or no rainfall, typically contrasting with wet or rainy seasons in tropical and subtropical climates.
Many regions experience predictable annual cycles: The dry season runs from November through April.
Agriculture, wildlife migration, and water management often revolve around these seasonal patterns.
