Wonderful spring – a celebration on instagram with #sgiew
So, spring came, and then, as quick as a flash, spring went… and summer – well, we had to go and check on that…
When does summer in the UK start?
There are two different ways of looking at this, as it depends on which calendar you follow – the astronomical summer or the meteorological summer.
Meteorologists believe in keeping the exact same three-month pattern each year, whereas the astronomical season is based on the position of the Earth in relation to the sun – and is therefore subject to change.
According to the meteorological summer, the season will start on June 1 and will come to an end on August 31.
Meanwhile, the astronomical summer starts Thursday 21 June – on a day which is known as the summer solstice – and will come to an end on September 23.
So, officially, we are going with the astronomical summer (because we like how that sounds!) and will be waiting patiently for summer to ‘start’ on the 21st June!
Meanwhile, remember #sgiew? (you know, so good in every way – the instagram photo challenge you all love so much!) it’s time to tell you who has been selected for the grid of nine for #sgiew_spring.
