    Harris experiences the full range of seasons. While cherry blossoms aren't particularly prominent, the autumn colors are breathtaking, particularly in the hills, usually peaking in late September and October. Spring offers vibrant green landscapes and the arrival of seabirds. Winter brings a different kind of beauty, with dramatic storms and the possibility of seeing the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis), though this is not guaranteed.
