The time period that you are referring to is called the summer solstice. It begins around June 21-22 and ends around September 22. This is the time when the earth's path around the sun has forced the Northern Hemisphere to start pointing directly at the sun. At that point, every part of the Northern Hemisphere sees the sun for more than 12 hours and every part of the Southern Hemisphere sees the sun for less than 12 hours. The autumnal equinox occurs about halfway through this event.

What is the first day of the season called and when is it?

The first day of a season is called the "equinox" or the "solstice," depending on the season. The spring and autumn equinoxes occur around March 20-21 and September 22-23, while the summer and winter solstices occur around June 21-22 and December 21-22.


When is the next equinox?

There are two different types of equinoxes; the Vernal Equinox which happens on March 21 or 22. There is also a Autumnal Equinox which happens on September 21, 22 or 23.


What is the Fall equivalent to the Spring Equinox?

Spring equinox occurs around March 20 and Fall equinox occurs around September 22 for the Northern Hemisphere. For the Southern Hemisphere these dates are opposite; the Spring equinox is around September 22 and the Fall equinox occurs around March 20.


The day that falls between the two solstices?

The day that falls between the two solstices is the summer solstice, which occurs around June 21st in the Northern Hemisphere and around December 21st in the Southern Hemisphere. This day marks the longest (or shortest) day of the year and is when the sun reaches its highest (or lowest) point in the sky.


Which month is summer season?

Different places have different definitions for when summer begins and ends. I go by the rule that summer begins at the moment of the summer solstice and ends at the moment of the autumnal equinox. In the northern hemisphere the date of the summer solstice ranges from June 19 to June 23, and the date of the autumnal equinox ranges from September 21 to September 24. In the southern hemisphere the date of the summer solstice ranges from December 20 to December 23, and the date of the autumnal equinox ranges from March 19 to March 22.

When does the Autumn equinox occurs in which month?

Winter Solstice: December 21 (or 22) Summer Solstice: June 21 (or 22) Spring Equinox/Vernal: March 20 (or 21) Autumn/Autumnal Equinox: September 22 (or 23) The days vary depending on the year. One year is approx. 365.25 days, hence a leap year. (.25 times 4= 1, so we add an extra day every 4 years, otherwise the calender would become messed up over time) So, because of that day, the equinoxes and solstices vary.
