Specify the summer months. Folk weather signs by month

When does summer start?

- if you ask this question offhand to people on the street, then 90 percent of those surveyed will answer “June 1,” and they will be right and wrong at the same time, 4% will clarify that the calendar summer begins on June 1, and the remaining 6% will tell you something interesting , by what signs do they determine that summer has begun?

In fact, before we talk about summer, we need to decide what we mean by it: Calendar summer - June 1st according to the current current date Gregorian calendar , lasts three spring months

June, July, August and ends on August 31st. Astronomical summer (according to the Sun): - comes on the Day Summer Solstice (June 21 or 22) and ends in the afternoon Autumn Equinox

(August 22 or 23). Climatic summer - here there are two criteria,
yes still. In addition, climatologists from time to time reassign the day of summer themselves, changing the period of temperature normalization (currently 1961-1990). According to the first criterion , closely related to the growing season, summer begins on the day when the climatic norm of the average daily temperature rises above+10°C
and, accordingly, ends when the temperature drops below this mark. In Moscow, these temperature transitions occur on April 30 and September 21. Second criterion differs from the first only in the boundary temperature:+15°C , but the resulting period corresponds significantly better to the generally accepted understanding of summer. By this criterion.

climatic summer in Moscow begins on May 29 and ends on August 23 According to the Old Russian calendar, until the 17th century, summer was considered to be the period from July 7 (Ivan Kupala - June 24, old style) to October 6 - 8

(at this time, corrections were made for the days advancing over four years). Phenological summer - that to count its beginning, various annually recurring natural phenomena are used, for example: the beginning of linden flowering, the appearance of strawberries in the forest, the beginning swimming season

etc. Everyone can choose a sign of the beginning of Summer to their liking:
If there are thunderstorms in the sky,
If the grass has bloomed,
If there is dew early in the morning
Blades of grass are bent to the ground,
If in the groves above the viburnum
Until the night the hum of bees,
If warmed by the sun
All the water in the river to the bottom -
So it's already summer!

So spring is over!

Evgenia Trutneva Poems. Summer

Most often they talk about warm, hot or cold summer, then dry (arid) or wet (wet, rainy). They also talk about the harvest and Indian summer, but "" is a different story.

Warm summer- this is the summer in which average monthly temperature air during the entire calendar summer exceeded the climatic norm. And here cold There may be a summer in which only the temperatures of June and August are below normal.

Dry summer - a summer may turn out to be dry, in which only one month there was less than normal precipitation, but there was no precipitation for a long time (if you struggle with watering, you will remember it all year long :). And here damp and wet, usually called summer with predominantly cloudy weather and above-average precipitation in each month.

Today we often encounter incorrect weather forecasts in the news and on TV. Why is this happening?

The fact is that the forecast comes from artificial satellites, and this data is processed by complex mathematical processing using computers.

But the capabilities of machines are not limitless and many factors are often simplified and overlooked in computer modeling.

And if we take into account that many important circumstances that can influence the weather forecast remain unknown today, then the accuracy and long-term validity of weather forecasts is greatly reduced.

A simple peasant who lived in the recent past, when he went to bed, was confident in his weather forecast for the next day, summer, autumn.
Anyone can successfully create their own weather forecast according to folk signs of weather by month.

The beginning and end of four seasons in different countries Europe and America are counted by two methods - astronomical and calendar. In addition, there are meteorological, phenological and cultural principles for determining the beginning of the seasons of the year.

In Russia, it is customary to count according to the calendar principle, so March 1 is congratulated on the first day of spring, and March 8 is considered a spring holiday. But if you read books by American writers, you will notice phrases like “it was at the end of winter, on March 10.” The fact is that in the USA. In Canada and many European countries, it is customary to count the beginning of the seasons according to the astronomical principle.

According to astronomical principle, the beginning of the seasons occurs on the days of the solstice:

- spring(March 20 or 21);
- summer(June 20 or 21);
- autumn(September 22 or 23);
- winter(December 21 - 22).

But the solstice is different years falls on different days(the difference is 1 - 2 days). Therefore, for convenience in countries where it is used astronomical method, usually new season start from the 21st day of the corresponding month. That is why it is believed that Catholic Christmas- a holiday that occurs at the beginning of winter. However, in everyday life, many Europeans use a simpler calendar principle.

This difference in approach often surprises expats and travelers. It must be taken into account when reading national literature (however, translators usually provide explanations in footnotes in such cases).

The astronomical approach also explains the reason for the widespread start of summer holidays in Europe at a later time than in Russia. End of holidays in European countries ah often falls in mid-September, which also corresponds to the end of the main holiday season.

From a meteorological point of view, the astronomical principle for most European countries is closer to the actual beginning of the seasons than the calendar one. December, although the darkest month of the year, is usually less cold than March (this is explained by climate inertia - the earth, which has accumulated heat, releases it more slowly than it warms up). The beginning of June is usually cooler than the beginning of September (this is especially noticeable at sea).

But from the point of view of meteorologists and climatologists exact date the beginning of the seasons does not exist at all! Winter comes at a time when the average daily air temperature, having crossed 0 C, tends to decrease. Therefore, in Yakutia, for example, winter begins at the end of September, and in Krasnodar - at the beginning of January. And summer, which begins when the average daily air temperature rises from +15 C, does not come at all in some regions of Russia. For example, in Murmansk it happens only in warm years.

In different eras in different countries, the beginning of a particular season was determined according to cultural and religious traditions. In Ireland, for example, August refers to the autumn months, according to Celtic traditions. And in Rus', until the 18th century, seasons were counted in accordance with major holidays: spring came at the Annunciation (March 25) and lasted until the Nativity of John the Baptist (June 24).

Finally, there is also the phenological principle of determining the onset of a new season - according to the behavior of nature. According to this principle, spring will come when thawed patches appear in the field. And it will end when the rose hips bloom.

Summer- the warmest and most pleasant time of the year. The sun is shining brightly and warming, birds are singing, the fields are making ears. This is the time of vacation, holidays, relaxation at sea or near a river. No wonder they say: “Summer is the golden time, don’t waste a minute.” At this time of year, the days become longer and the nights become shorter. In summer, many berries and fruits ripen. With the help of folk signs of summer natural phenomena, crops, and animal behavior can determine future weather and what winter will be like.
