    Huh in Ireland summer begins 1st of May and ends 1st of August didn’t realize it was different elsewhere guess you learn something new everyday

    I’m pretty sure “summer” ,what we’re referring too,
    Doesn’t follow national boundaries, laws or government decrees

    Summer is marked a position in the earths orbit where the hemisphere in reference is closest to the sun

    Sometimes cultures and traditions change this maybe there is a significant in Ireland as too why or it could just be simple convenience or maybe no reason at all
    If they’re going for some worldwide thing it can’t be summer for everyone, I’d assume they’re basing it on the dates where they are, which is until September 23

    Yeah, for instance in Australia it's Winter right now, and September 23 would be Spring.

    How do people in Australia spend Christmas and New Years? I’ve always wondered

    Personally I find it weird thinking it’s during the summer

    But then I remember in from Florida and the lowest it gets in my area is around 15*c

    We have a summer Christmas. Swimming, outdoor sports, barbecues, bare feet, cold beers, daylight until 10pm. It's awesome. And some of us celebrate a mid-winter Christmas in July too

    Lot of different conventions obviously.

    School Summer Break.
    Memorial Day thru Labor Day (in USA).
    Meteorological - hottest 3 months (June/July/Aug typically)

    Astronomical - by Solstice and Equinox (June 21 - Sept 22). ** Even though that is sort of misleading because if you wanted to think of Summer as the 3 month span that you had the most sunlight, then it should really start 1.5 months before June 21 and end 1.5 months after June 21 (which actually would fall more in line with that Ireland reference where they start Spring on a Feb 1st Celtic holiday and so Summer would be May thru July).

    (except for Southern Hemisphere, where it’s reversed of course...) so Australia players will have to wait another 6 months before they will get the “Summer of Pain” events 😀

    To be fair, it was never going to be during summer here in Scotland

    That’s because we don’t have summer. Or spring. Or autumn. Or winter.

    We have rain.

    Fellow Scot here. Can confirm we have all the rain.
