For the foreseeable future I would invite all of us to consider the months from June to September to be called Summer rather than 鈥渇ire season.鈥

Why you might ask?

Because I for one would much prefer a summer that is a mix of sun and rain.

I am tired of smoke-filled summers. I am also tired of summer being called 鈥渇ire season.鈥 I much prefer a balanced season.

So let鈥檚 please intend on the coming months being a nice mixture of sunshine and warmth and good, drenching rain.
