Weather Forecast

As the winter drifts with the northern wind
Some high latitude areas of north hemisphere
Will be in the clasp of sporadic snowstorms
Others will be mantled with dense opaque frost
Longing to feel the reviving warmth of the sun 
People need to bear the chill for a fortnight.   

After winter haze clears the weather will change 
The spring will arrive floating in the crispy air 
With the radiance of cerulean sky crystal clear 
And with amiable ambiance of temperate days
Not to last long for the temperature will increase 
At the onset of scorching summer of discontent.

With active El Niño the prospect of rains is favorable
The southern wind will spread moisture laden cloud  
Overcast monsoon sky in some areas may fall asunder  
After unpredictable cloud bursts one after another
Cyclones and tropical storms will spin on trade winds
Wreak havoc in low-lying areas with frequent floods. 

The nimbus clouds will waft away clearing the sky
Low atmospheric disturbances will slowly subside
As awaited autumn will arrive with nip in the air 
Occasional gusty winds at the advent of the fall
Will blow away wilted leaves from shedding trees
Make way for the freezing footfall of another winter.
