Stupid ask about Moonfire Faire

[MistakeNot]

The entire Earth does it like this; the science doesn't vary from one region to the next. As I mentioned, Hawaii, Seattle, Norway and Moscow will all move from summer into fall on September 22 this year. Conversely, Johannesberg, Melbourne, Buenos Aires, and the couple thousand people that live in Antarctica will all move from winter into spring on that same day.

The solstices/equinoxes fall on the same dates all over. Nobody disputes that.
Sience has absolutely nothing to say about the relationship between solstices/equinoxes and seasons however. Seasons are a local thing, and many places don't even have four distinct seasons.

I was alwasy dont understand. Why they put "summer event" aka Moonfire Faire in August.

Since EU/NA call summer are June and July. August is our autumn season. (I'm from Europe)

I'm from England and August is summer here. You can tell because the rain is warmer.

[Hanayumi]

Yeah in Japan we usually got the month of August as summer break. As for NA a good majority of the southern state still see summer, especially the weather. linger well into fall, Ca to Fl, heat waves and hurricane for Thanksgivings, heck even as far into as like Christmas isnt surprising anymore, lul...

Can’t speak for anywhere but the Middle East and the USA. Most of the places I have been in the ME August is still summer and hot hot hot.

In the USA in most states August is the hottest month. I love in Alaska and here too August starts our fall.

While everyone is arguing when summer is...

The real answer is Moonfire Faire isn't just a summer festival. Much like how All Saint's Wake is based on Halloween, and Heavensturn is based on the Lunar New Year celebration, Moonfire Faire is based on the Hanabi Festivals which happen in Japan in July and August. Doesn't matter if it's not still hot and summery where you live when this happens because They're doing it based on when the event happens in the real world.

I don't think it will be long before the "seasons" don't really align to anybody's established conventions anywhere, anyhow.

[Juun]

Im from Europe (Netherlands) and can say summer last throughout August here. We can still reach tempratures above 30 easily. Early September is when it starts to cool down. And early October when it feels like Autumn.

[Zumi]

August is the hottest month in Summer.

[Waliel]

August is the hottest month in Summer.

Here in northern Europe it ranks between July and June for average temperatures.

Moonfire Faire corresponds with the Obon holiday in Japan, starting on Aug 13th. It's often considered to be the last holiday/festival week of the summer, after which the "traditional" Fall begins, much like Labor Day is the "traditional" end of the summer season in the US even if it's not the actual solar season change.
