So in actuality, when we celebrate the first day of spring here, it's actually the middle of spring. When we celebrate the first day of summer, it's actually the middle day of summer. So actually, the first day of summer is the beginning of May.
I understand what he is saying, but in a Northern city like Calgary, July and August are the hot months. It does not feel like summer in May.
