der Herbst (autumn)

Memory Trick: Think of harvesting fresh herbs right before the weather turns cold in autumn.

der Nebel (fog)

Memory Trick: Spelled backwards, NEBEL becomes LEBEN (life)—fog hides life from view! It also sounds like a dusty cosmic nebula.

The ground gets dryer during a Dürre.

die Lawine (avalanche)

Memory Trick: Picture a huge stream of white snow cascading down the slope like hot liquid lava.

A snowy lava stream is a Lawine!
