Summer doesn't really end on 1st September, the Met Office just likes making neat and tidy monthly seasons to fit their data gathering. It doesn't end on 26th October either, when the clocks go back. I never understand BST (British Summer Time) lasting the majority of the year, 7 months from March to October. Why does it have the word "summer" at all in it, roughly a week after spring has officially begun!
Summer time in 2025 technically ends for real on Monday 22nd September at precisely 7.19pm, aka the autumn equinox. I always consider the first half of September to be late summer. It's weird how just going forward one single day from August 31st to September 1st has this dramatic psychological effect on peoples view of the time of year it is. |

Good question, but a lot of seawater is old dinosaur piss, we were taught at school and in those exact words. 
It would be interesting to know how many comets and asteroids have penetrated the planet that gave us icy cold water. We only know about the asteroid that killed off the dinosaurs. |

A gas cloud nebula and stardust before that.
So where did the water all come from that allows it to rain on us, and all the oceans, passing icy comets? Because it wasn't on all that molten rock. |

Funny you say this as I am just saying ..bye bye Winter.
And it's been quite a vicious winter as my huge heating bill testifies.
Perhaps the one benefit in an Oz winter is often on icy cold days there is still gorgeous blue sunny skies. |
