A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

How does it feel like summer ended overnight? The equinox is still three weeks away.
Meteorological summer ended August 31, we’re officially into “fall weather season” even if we’re still technically in summer sun season
We aren’t expecting a break in the summer heat for at least the next 10 days… and by break I mean highs finally dipping into the lower 90°s (~34°C).
I’m not a meteorologist, but it seems silly to arbitrarily define something as not the days it is. Summer runs from the summer solstice to the autumnal equinox which this year is on September 23rd.
Meteorological seasons follow the temperature cycles, defined by calendar months.
Astronomical seasons follow the solar cycle.
That’s why the weather you feel can often not match the “season it it”
It would still seem to make more sense to say that the end of summer was September 30 then. If anything we’re seeing a definition that needs to be changed due to climate change.
Another thing is, we are internationally using a calendar that was made for a specific zone so it makes no sense for some people
Personally, I was feeling the same way this morning because it was hot af all of June, July, and August and then today is pretty cold. I am used to it being hot af here until exactly October 31st just in time to make my halloween costume too cold to go out in.
That would be nice, it’s the same temperature this week as it was last week here.
