I'm just waiting for hiking weather to start in a month or so. Scallops... total bust, St. Joe Bay is completely cleaned out. Mullet fishing is picking up though. It's still hot, but it's backed off about eight or so degrees from the real summer heat. So now it's... fall? At least, it's now "meteorological fall," i.e., starts by definition on September 1st. "Astronomical fall" begins on the fall equinox, which this year falls (sorry) on September 22nd.
Honestly, the Sept-Oct-Nov fall has always felt right to me. It coincides more closely with the start of school years and other fall-associated activities, even if thermometers still bump 90F most days around here. Shoehorning Christmas into a fall time slot because it comes a few days before the winter solstice just seems wrong.
But what season is this weird hot-shorter-days-in-between-time really? We all know that one:
