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.
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.
How does it feel like summer ended overnight? The equinox is still three weeks away.
Meteorological summer ended August 31, we’re officially into “fall weather season” even if we’re still technically in summer sun season

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”
