    It's the beginning of winter. With shorter days and longer nights.

    Vivaldi died a penniless ginger haired asthmatic, which is a damn shame, as the four seasons were cracking tunes.
    If there is a sight in this world more beautiful than that of four women fiddling away (as they angelically smile at one another) then mine eyes have not upon it set.

    I consider August to be the last month of summer. One has to live in hope.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,115 ✭✭✭✭Junkyard Tom


    Anyone who believes that summer ends before the young'uns go back to skool needs a kick up the arse.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 172 ✭✭sinead88


    I knew August was the start of autumn! I live in Scotland and everyone here takes the piss out of me for saying summer is May, June, and July. I told them we actually learn that in school but they had me doubting myself.

    he Julian calendar has a regular year of 365 days divided into 12 months, as listed in Table of months.

    A leap day is added to February every four years. The Julian year is, therefore, on average 365.25 days long. It was intended to approximate the tropical (solar) year. Although Greek astronomers had known, at least since Hipparchus, a century before the Julian reform, that the tropical year was a few minutes shorter than 365.25 days, the calendar did not compensate for this difference.

    As a result, the year gained about three days every four centuries compared to observed equinox times and the seasons. This discrepancy was corrected by the Gregorian reform of 1582.

    The Gregorian calendar has the same months and month lengths as the Julian calendar, but, in the Gregorian calendar, years evenly divisible by 100 are not leap years, except that years evenly divisible by 400 remain leap years.[2] Consequently, the Julian calendar is currently 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar; for instance, 1 January in the Julian calendar is 14 January in the Gregorian.

    Old Style (O.S.) and New Style (N.S.) are sometimes used with dates to indicate either whether the start of the Julian year has been adjusted to start on 1 January (N.S.) even though documents written at the time use a different start of year (O.S.), or whether a date conforms to the Julian calendar (O.S.) rather than the Gregorian (N.S.). Dual dating uses two consecutive years because of differences in the starting date of the year, or includes both the Julian and Gregorian dates.

    The Julian calendar has been replaced as the civil calendar by the Gregorian calendar in all countries which formerly used it, although it continued to be the civil calendar of some countries into the 20th century.

    Among the last countries to convert to the Gregorian calendar were Russia (in 1918) and Greece (in 1923).[3] As of 1930, all countries that were using the Julian calendar had discontinued it. Most Christian denominations in the West and areas evangelized by Western churches have also replaced the Julian calendar with the Gregorian as the basis for their liturgical calendars. However, most branches of the Eastern Orthodox Church still use the Julian calendar for calculating the dates of moveable feasts, including Easter (Pascha). Some Orthodox churches have adopted the Revised Julian calendar for the observance of fixed feasts, while other Orthodox churches retain the Julian calendar for all purposes.[4] The Julian calendar is still used by the Berber people of North Africa,[citation needed] and on Mount Athos and certain people in Ireland because their da told them or that is what they heard in school back in the day

    To all who think that August is an autumn season: Happy July 19th today mates. Have a good one.

    I think the seasons should be allocated by their weather. Not necessarily by dividing the year into even fractions like some OCD merchant.
    August is sometimes the hottest month of the year, therefore, it counts as summer. Them's my views.

    Hot month = summer

    Cold month = winter

    in-betweeners - may be called Spring or Autumn, according to lateness or earliness in the year, but not necessarily three exact months.
    You often hear the expression "A late spring" or a "a long winter" - QED

    They are divided by temperature. Except people from 1890 haven't got used to new money.

    It's not autumn.

    Screw the Indians. Let's look after ourselves first.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 415 ✭✭Alexis Sanchez


    It's still Summer. Meteorological summers are the warmest months of the year and August is the second warmest.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,353 ✭✭✭Cold War Kid


    These "Look at meeee, I know August is summer but I want to be different so I'll start a Boards thread pretending it's autumn" threads will at least stop in four weeks or so.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,766 ✭✭✭Bongalongherb


    I hope it stays like this with low temperatures for the remaining summer. Nice and cool with a breeze. Sure who likes that humid sticky sweaty heat anyway. Best summer ever.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,428 ✭✭✭Talib Fiasco


    Jesus Christ it's just a month, why are people so bloody agitated.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,766 ✭✭✭Bongalongherb


    Because we want it to snow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,034 ✭✭✭mad muffin


    Don't worry people. It will not be getting any warmer.

    Cool with sunshine is the ideal scenario.

    Nah, my ideal weather is torrential rain, thunderstorms, lightning and storm-force winds with a few Cumulonimbus clouds mixed in. That's real mans weather.
