The dry season is a time of the year when there is little or no rain. The weather is usually hot and sunny, and the air feels dry. Rivers and lakes may lose water, and the ground can become dusty. People wear light clothes, drink a lot of water, and try to stay cool. Some activities, like swimming or hiking, are easier to do in the dry season.
