June 1st starts the first day of Summer! At least meteorological summer which is a fixed period from June 1 to August 31.
Meteorologists use this as it's a simpler way for record-keeping and weather analysis. With meteorological summer spanning these three months continuously, comparing trends from year to year is easier.
Unlike meteorological summer, the Summer Solstice date can vary slightly each year because the Earth’s orbit isn’t perfect. The Summer Solstice is considered the official start of Summer on June 21 at 3:24 AM. Symbolizing the most amount of sunlight during the day.
