Default Indian summer! But is still is summer!

In article ,

I don't think that this question is included in the newsgroup FAQ, but
the number of times it comes up perhaps it should be. As far as
meteorologists and climatologists are concerned, summer comprises the
months of June, July and August.


.... I'll mull it over. As you point out, those are the climatological
accounting periods, though there are others, for example the periods
used to relate average temperatures to the 'cold', 'cool', 'warm', 'hot'
tags etc., which don't follow this scheme.

If I do put something in, it will probably be in the Glossary rather
than the FAQ.

Martin.
