🌞 In many countries, seasons start with solstices and equinoxes:
Spring begins at the March equinox (~March 20–21)
Summer begins at the June solstice (~June 21)
Autumn begins at the September equinox (~September 22–23)
Winter begins at the December solstice (~December 21–22)
🇷🇺 In Russia, we go by the calendar, the seasons traditionally start on fixed calendar dates:
Spring – March 1
Summer – June 1
Autumn – September 1
Winter – December 1
Using set calendar dates fits typical weather and temperatures better than following the solstices and equinoxes.
