Who cares if its summer or winter I just wish they would stop pissing about with the clock alterations, put it on one more hour to take advantage of nice daylight evenings in summer and leave it alone.
Supposed to be something to do with Scottish farmers, for fucks sake electricity and light has been invented for years now surely they can use that and their work goes on beyond daylight hours anyway its ludicrous |

"yes but its british summer time today with clock change lol
Yea but still not actually summer. Lol. "
Well, actually it is. There are four phases of the seasons that are dictated by the "apparent" movement of the sun. Six months of the year the sun is in the northern hemisphere (summer) and six months it is in the southern hemisphere (winter).
The four important dates are
1) the winter solstice (when the sun is at its lowest declination and farthest south. Pagans would celebrate this date as the date that earth would start to come back to life.
2) Spring equinox (when the sun passes over the equator and is in the northern heavens again. Officially the start of meteorological summer)
3) summer solstice (the longest day) the date that you refer to in June when the sun reaches its furthest travel north and the daylight is at its longest.
4) autumnal equinox. The sun crosses the equator on its way south again and pagans would note this say by storing food and wood to keep them through the season of the dead earth.
In short... technically this very much is the start of summer. Here in Spain today it was a scorcher?
