In the United States and the rest of the northern hemisphere, the first day of the summer season is the day of the year when the Sun is farthest north (on June 20th or 21st). This day is known as the Summer Solstice. The declination of the Sun on the Summer Solstice is known as the tropic of cancer (23Â° 27'). In the southern hemisphere, winter and summer solstices are exchanged so that the Summer Solstice is the day on which the Sun is farthest south.
Much of the country is in the grip of icy winter weather but according to the Meteorological Office spring is here. It classes the first day of spring as 1 March, saying March, April and May are regarded as the spring months. But traditionally spring has started on the night of 20/21 March and a row has erupted over the official date. You would not regard the first three weeks of June as spring, yet historically summer does not start until 21 June, says a spokesman for the Met Office. Equally, the bulk of people now regard 1 March as the first day of spring. Bloom
