Marissa4 · Accepted Answer

June 21st. Also the longest day of the year.

AviatorTom · Answer

The summer vacation season in the US typically runs from Memorial Day (end of May) to Labor Day (beginning of September).

The official summer season in the Northern Hemisphere typically runs from the Summer Solstice (20-21 June) to the Autumnal Equinox (20-21 September).

OlderAndWiser · Answer

No one has the authority to declare a day the "official" first day of summer. However, many almanacs and other sources state that summer in the Northern Hemisphere begins on the solstice. This year, that occurs on Sunday, June 21.

Lliam · Answer

Summer officially begins on June 21st, the longest day of the year. But a lot of people consider summer break from school to be the beginning of summer, anywhere from late May or mid-June to mid-August or early September, depending on the school district.

Many people consider the Memorial Day holiday to be the official kick off of back yard BBQ and beach season.

Billlewis · Answer

In Chicago and other upper Midwest cities, usually not until mid May, sometimes later, if the 'Won't Warm Up' period that follows the winter is stubborn. Down South, out West or elsewhere, you can pretty much go by what the calendar says, which is March 21st.

In the Northern Hemisphere it is on June 21.

It’s in June, technically. Tho, we have “opening day” at the club today, which is the official start to the season for summer hours. Crap day out. ☹️

Depends on weather. Here where I'm living it's between 15-20 May. Of course water is still too cold in sea and lakes but it's okay for sun bathing.

4ngelic · Answer

the 20th or 21st of June (summer solstice) technically, but I think most people consider the end of may/early June the beginning of summer

MicroJ · Answer

Memorial Day is the unofficial kickoff to summer as far as the actual day it's June 21st. The summer solstice will happen at 4:24 am (edt) on June 21, 2026.
