The seasons change on specific moments called (spring/autumn) and solstices (summer/winter). These dates vary slightly each year due to Earth's orbit around the sun.
While astronomical seasons are determined by the position of the Earth relative to the Sun, meteorological seasons are based on the annual temperature cycle and the civil calendar. This system was developed to simplify the statistical calculation of weather data, as the "thermal lag" (the delay between maximum sunlight and maximum temperature) means the hottest days often occur weeks after the summer solstice.
