What season is it in Africa when it is summer in the US?
Africa is a very large continent, with some of it in the northern hemisphere and some in the southern hemisphere. When it is summer in the US, then it is summer in the northern hemisphere, so it would be summer in the part of Africa that is in the northern hemisphere. For the part in the southern hemipshere, it would be winter. The equator goes through Africa, so in the parts near it, there is little variation in seasons at any time of the year.
