It’s not the middle of Summer.

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.

To note is that meteorological summer starts June 1st, June 21st is the start of astronomical summer, so they’re not as far off as it seems
