    British summer time 'ends', 27 October, ( when we change the clocks).

          I'm a simple soul with maybe a smidge of OCD tendency.

          Autumn is September October and November.
          Winter is December, January and February.
          Spring is March, April and May.
          Summer is June, July and August.

          But the non-OCD part of me recognises that autumn hasn't started yet, it's been too warm down here. It'll start tomorrow if the weatherman is right: that unmistakeable back-to-school crispness in the air. Autumn, nearly a week late.

              Today - leaves are turning, the mountains are misty and the tomatoes have blight.

                You will find 2 options:
                Traditionally we have used the Autumn Equinox, this year looks like 22nd Sept.
                Other places, US, Aus, Canada, will use 1st Sept as the start. I have noticed that the BBC weather was saying that Autumn had started and that was 1st September.

                First one follows an astronomy criteria, the second is more "arbitury", and against many of my feelings is a bit more reasonable. To consider the second week of June as not being Summer seems wrong, and equally to consider the second week of September as Summer equally seems odd.

                I can see a point for either and I know that both are used, so to an extent happy to use either.

                    I think there are only 3 seasons -
                    Autumn is October - Feb:
                    Spring is March - June and
                    Summer is July - September

                      I'd say the last few years we haven't really had a spring at all, this year certainly went straight from winter to summer overnight . I've never really got hung up on exact dates as it depends on the weather, to say that a season definitely starts on a particular day is, to me, like when I was at school and they put the heating on and off on set dates every year, regardless of the weather - varies every year but I do tend to think that on average we're heading into autumn when the school summer holidays finish ie about now.

                      Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

                      Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

                        The Met office says
                        the Summer begins around the Summer Solstice, when daylight hours are at their longest (around 21 June), and ends around the Equinox, when days and nights are of equal length (around 21 September, on 22 September this year). Thus astronomical Autumn begins, continuing until the Winter Solstice, when daylight hours are at their shortest (around 21 December), and so on.
                        Astronomical seasons therefore are about three weeks behind the meteorological ones.
                        That explains it so I can understand it
