For a few years I've been hearing that the timing of the seasons (in NZ) has changed. Anyway, you know how people tend to go on about the weather.

Is there any evidence for this? Overlay graphs and things would be good. ; ).

I don't particularly want this to become a climate change slanging match but it kind of seems inevitable. Anyway if we could stick to the topic a bit before we get to that part...

So...

 

The equinoxes, along with solstices, are directly related to the seasons of the year.

 

Southern Hemisphere Summer Solstice

 

(Australia, New Zealand, South America, Southern Africa)

 

December Solstice in Auckland, New Zealand is on
Friday, 22 December 2017 at 5:28 a.m. NZDT

 

First Day of Summer?

 

The first day of spring, summer, fall and winter can either be defined using astronomical events like solstices and equinoxes, or they can be determined based on meteorological factors, average temperatures.

 

In the USA and some other areas in the Northern Hemisphere, the Summer Solstice marks the first day of summer. However, the official date for the first day of summer varies depending on the country's climate.
