The season integration will provide the current astronomical or meteorological season (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter)
|
|
as a sensor.

All information about how the seasons work was taken from Wikipedia:

To cut a long read short, Astronomical gives seasons based on the shortest/longest day and equinoxes. So in the Northern Hemisphere spring starts on 20 March). Meteorological gives seasons based on months (so in the Northern Hemisphere spring starts on 1 March).
