Some argue that seasons shouldn’t begin on the longest or shortest day of the year.
The spring, summer, fall and winter you see on most calendars start around the 20th of March, June, September and December, respectively. They’re called astronomical seasons.
Climatological seasons use the average weather of the year to define when the seasons are. For most places in the United States, June, July and August are the hottest three months of the year, so those are referred to as climatological summer, even though there are some exceptions, like the immediate West Coast, South Texas and parts of Alaska and Hawaii.

Climatological summer begins on June 1 every year and ends on Aug. 31. For most places, this corresponds with the rising and falling of temperatures, which many first think of when they think of seasons.
Using summer as the example, the solar definition of the season goes from roughly May 6 to Aug. 5, depending on latitude north or south of the equator. At the Jersey Shore in Atlantic City, the length of day is no shorter than 14 hours and 2 minutes during this time. Daylight then peaks at 14 hours and 56 minutes during the summer solstice, known as midsummer. Solar winter then runs from roughly Nov. 7 to Feb. 6.
