Note. The onset of various seasonal states depends on the altitude above sea level and geographical location.

In the northern part of the country and in the upper mountain ranges, spring-summer events typically occur later than in the south and lower regions, while autumn-winter events occur earlier. Seasonal phenomena are provided only for certain species of plants and animals, but they can be used to judge the overall picture.
