      The War on Christmas must not end until Christmas withdraws to the internationally recognized borders of December.

        Thanksgiving won’t survive another generation, two at most. November will be split up the middle between Halloween and Christmas. Halloween will also claim August, Christmas will expand through January and into February, merging with Valentine’s.

      Meteorological summer ended August 31, we’re officially into “fall weather season” even if we’re still technically in summer sun season

        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.
