	Wet and Dry Seasons in East Central Florida
		The Wet Season is typically considered to begin in the latter part of May and resembles "summer" across much of the remainder of the country.
		The Wet Season is marked by a daily inland progression of the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico sea breezes as a low pressure trough develops across the peninsula due to surface heating.
		The Wet Season in east central Florida is commonly referred to as the "Rainy Season." Though not as dramatic as the Monsoon circulations elsewhere in the world, the Florida peninsula has many of the same climate characteristics and certainly can be classified as "Monsoon-like" or "Monsoonally influenced" with a distinct wet-dry seasonal rhythm.

	Season - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the temperate and polar regions, seasons are marked by changes in the amount of sunlight, which in turn often cause cycles of dormancy in plants and hibernation in animals.
		It's a common misconception that the seasons are the result of the variation in Earth’s distance to the sun due to its elliptical orbit.
		When the solstices (peaks) are used as the middle of each season, as is in Jieqi and East Asian countries, the longest day of the year occurs in the middle of summer, and conversely the shortest day of the year in the middle of winter.

		During these months the main season (mostly rainfed) crops are harvested and another crop (winter/spring, dry season) is grown under irrigation.
		The early end to the 2004 wet season caused hundreds of reservoirs and rivers to drop to their lowest level in decades, which made irrigation difficult if not impossible in many areas.
		The 2005 wet season is expected to start in April / May as the monsoon strengthens and moves north from the equator.

	Wet season supplementation of West African Dwarf goats raised under traditional management in the subhumid zone of ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		In an area where cropping is the major activity, the traditional method of keeping goats during the wet season is by tethering or free-ranging on enclosed fallow land to prevent damage to crops.
		In the wet season, as the crops were being planted, goats were tethered alongside the road, near the homestead or allowed to graze on enclosed fallow land.
		However, the wet season is characterized by the presence of diseases and a high helminth burden (Smith et al, 1986).

	Wet season - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A wet season or rainy season is a season in which the average rainfall in a region is significantly increased.
		Tropical weather is dominated by the movement of the tropical rain belt, which oscillates from the northern to the southern tropics over the course of the year.
		Between the tropics and the equator, locations may experience a short wet and a long wet season.

	South Pacific Weather and Climate Charts
		The Pacific season is divided into two - the humid and slightly hotter "wet" season, and the less humid, slightly cooler "dry" season.
		North of the equator (Micronesia) the more favoured dry season is between November and May. Hawaii is far enough north that winter and summer seasons are used as opposed to dry and wet, although here cyclones can still be a threat from August to November.
		Dry and Wet are very loose terms - the amount and frequency of rainfall is determined as much by the local topography of the islands as to the seasons.

	THE EFFECT OF SEASON ON THE BLOOD PROFILE OF THE AFRICAN GIANT RAT
		The feed of the giant rat was similar in both the dry and wet seasons, thereby limiting the variables to only the season while the other factors such as feed, housing and management of the rats were kept constant.
		Also, during the dry season Oyewale and Olowookorum (14) reported a total WBC count of 12.18x103/µl in the West African dwarf goat, which was lower than the values of 16.14x103/µl reported by Oduye (15) for this breed during the wet season.
		However since similar diet was given to the giant rat during the dry and wet seasons, further study seems necessary to determine if there is an increase in the utilization of the plasma electrolyte during the wet season.

	Effect of season of planting (and harvesting) of sugar cane on the nutritive value of the juice for fattening pigs
		Intake of juice was higher in the wet season but not enough to compensate for the lower brix content as intake of sugars was 1.05 kg/d in the wet season compared with 1.22 kg/d in the dry season.
		The growth rate of pigs fed cane juice in the wet season was 28% lower than for those fed the control diet and 20% lower than for pigs fed cane juice in the dry season.
		In the wet season, the pigs fed cane juice tended to have a lower percentage of lean meat and had a higher percentage of fat than those fed broken rice (Table 4).

		For the wet season the trial began 25 July 1995 and ended December 1995; for the dry season the trial began in January 1996 and ended in May 1996.
		Feed conversion was better in the dry than in the wet season for sugar cane tops but the opposite was the case for the guinea grass.
		In the wet season, 24 goats (initial weight around 11.5 kg) were allocated to two treatments: CTL fed Guinea grass and SCT fed sugar cane tops.

		The wet season (Polynesian Summer), is between the months of November to April, receiving approximately 3/4ths of the annual rainfall of French Polynesia between these months.
		From a travelers standpoint, this "off season" may not be the most favorable weatherwise, however the benefits may tip the scales to the travelers advantage in many other ways: There's less competition for lodging, activity and sightseeing schedules.
		For those interested in Scubadiving in Tahiti and her surrounding islands, the dry season is favorable due to increased visibility.

	Gouldian finch wet season off to a flying start -- WWF-Australia
		The recent increase in reported sightings included flocks of 100-400 birds in the Arnhem Land, Douglas-Daly and central Kimberley regions in late 2005 and is giving scientists and wildlife managers hope that Gouldian finch populations might be recovering.
		According to Dr O'Malley, who chairs the National Gouldian Finch Recovery Team, these changes are impacting on the availability of wet season grass seed resources to the extent that birds are potentially not surviving the lean times at the onset of the wet season.
		WWF is hopeful that it could be another big year for Gouldians, and flock sizes may increase again provided fire and grazing pressure are carefully managed across their savanna habitats.

	DPD News - Plan Early to Meet Grading Restrictions during Wet Season
		If you are a contractor or geotechnical special inspector who will be conducting earthwork activity at a project with a grading season restriction or in an Environmentally Critical Area (ECA) during Seattle's wet season (Oct. 31-April 1), you will need to obtain a Grading Season Extension Letter from DPD to avoid a stop work order.
		Similarly, grading season restrictions applied to projects in non-ECA areas must be completed or stabilized by Oct. 31 of each year (SMC 22.804.160 A).
		Applications for grading season extension may be submitted before the building permit is issued; however, the application will not be reviewed until the applicant notifies the DPD geotechnical reviewer that the permit has been issued.

	rediff.com sports: Jones completes undefeated season on wet track
		She will take a month off to rest and relax before resuming training for next season when she plans to compete in the long jump as well as the sprints.
		For now she will savour a 2002 season whose highlights include, she said, winning both the 100 and 200 metres at the U.S. championships, completing an undefeated season and watching boyfriend and training partner Tim Montgomery set the men's 100 metre record of 9.78 seconds in Paris last week.
		While that race brought Jones and Montgomery a lifetime of memories and the title of "the world's fastest couple," Jones said there was not one particular race of hers this season that she was proud of.

	DCLU News - Plan Early to Grade in an Environmentally Critical Area during Wet Season
		If you are a contractor or geotechnical special inspector who will be conducting grading activity in an Environmentally Critical Area (ECA) during Seattle's wet season (October 31-April 1), you need to start planning early to obtain a dry season extension letter from DCLU and avoid a stop work order.
		In consideration of slope stability and soil erosion, the Seattle Municipal Code requires that all grading in ECAs must be completed or stabilized by October 31 each year, unless it can be proven to DCLU that no environmental harm or safety problems will result (SMC 25.09.060 C9).
		No grading work can start after October 1 for projects subject to dry season restriction unless the contractor submits, on or before the date of permit issuance, a schedule approved by the geotechnical engineer showing that grading will be completed by October 31.

		While revenue declined, the photochemical recycler said that one of the wettest springs on record in California drastically affected its bulk liquid fertilizer sales to the tune of 29%, though it indicated that fourth quarter revenue has exceeded the same period last year by 30% already.
		For suppliers like Itronics, the hit to their largest fertilizer market was significant, though that's the good news because the Reno-based company had opened markets in several states whose sales helped offset the decline that otherwise could have cut revenues another 20%.
		Should the spring season fair as well as its indicating the fourth quarter of this year is, 2006 could prove to be much better.
