After what has masqueraded as summer, we all might sympathize with Tim Entwisle, who heads Australia’s Sydney Royal Botanic Garden. He says the Land of Oz needs five or six seasons to suit its climate. Australia should “unhook” itself from the “arbitrary” four seasons it inherited from Britain says the scientist. Entwisle suggests ‘sprummer’ between spring and summer along with ‘spriner’ for early spring. How about ‘frizzer’ for the period proceeding spring here in the land of milk and maple syrup?
