This autumn has been hot and dry because the sun has been extra strong, like a really energetic friend who won’t stop playing.
Imagine you're outside on a sunny day, wearing your favorite sweater. The sun feels warm, right? Now imagine that same sun is shining even longer than usual, it’s like the sun is saying, “I’m going to stay up late and play with you!” That means the days are longer, and the sun gives off more heat.
Also, sometimes the wind doesn’t bring clouds or rain. It's like when your friend forgets to bring a water bottle, there’s no cool breeze or rain to help you feel refreshed. So the air stays warm and dry, just like your sweater feels on a hot day.
Why it matters
When the sun is strong for longer and the wind doesn’t bring clouds or rain, the ground gets really hot, and plants don’t get enough water, it’s like when you forget to drink water all day. That's why this autumn feels so hot and dry!
