  We aren’t expecting a break in the summer heat for at least the next 10 days… and by break I mean highs finally dipping into the lower 90°s (~34°C).

  I’m not a meteorologist, but it seems silly to arbitrarily define something as not the days it is. Summer runs from the summer solstice to the autumnal equinox which this year is on September 23rd.

    Meteorological seasons follow the temperature cycles, defined by calendar months.

    Astronomical seasons follow the solar cycle.

    That’s why the weather you feel can often not match the “season it it”

      It would still seem to make more sense to say that the end of summer was September 30 then. If anything we’re seeing a definition that needs to be changed due to climate change.

        Another thing is, we are using internationally a calendar that was made for a specific zone so it makes no sense for some people
