Seasons, terms and holidays, sentence 6
Near the equator it is warm all year, so seasons are about rain, not cold: in Kenya there are the "long rains" (about March to May) and the "short rains" (about October to December), and India has the monsoon, a big rainy season from about June to September.
Who acts: equator, India · What happens: be, not be, have · To what, where: equator, monsoon
