Usage notes

Technically, summer starts with the summer solstice (around 21st June in our calendar) and ends with the autumn equinox (around 23st September). In everyday parlance, however, the term is usually applied to the time spanning weeks 27 to 39 in the Lemizh Sun calendar, which starts and ends somewhat earlier.
