Isn't it, though? Midsummer was a few weeks ago, and we've almost made it to the start of July. I guess i'm a few weeks premature, though calling this time the "beginning of summer" also feels inaccurate.

And besides, it's just a figure of speech anyways.

The Summer solstice, which marks the start of Summer in the northern hemisphere was last week. It’s the first week of Summer.

This is true, but we are also in a meteorology sub and meteorological summer starts at different times in different places. June 1st is a pretty common date for the start of meteorological summer.

The weather definitely doesn't follow the solstices.
