Every year i wonder when summer games is going to start

and every year i’m reminded that “August” is counted as a summer month.

"When is Overwatch Summer Games?

2016: August 2nd – August 22nd.
2017: August 8th – August 29th.
2018: August 9th- August 31st.
2019: July 16th – August 5th.
2020: August 4th – August 25th."

When i was growing up i never saw august as a summer month tbh.

August can be the hottest month of the year. It feels very much like summer where I live.

August was always the summer holidays when I was a kid, so I tend to see it as the summer month - even if ends up not being so glorious, here in rainy old Blighty.

Yeah.

I pretty much must’ve just ingrained this August = Harvest = Fall in my head for some reason.

Even tho harvest season is not really until late sept.

It’s just so drilled into my head that hearing august = summer just feels wrong.

Same, I always counted August as the start of Autumn/Fall pretty much.

In my country July is always the summer month

2 July was the hottest day in this year with 53 degree C

Yeah it is very weird especially when most games starts their summer events in June.

It is a bit funny. Yes, it is a summer month. But events in Germany are basically not happening in August and start indoors in September again.

first time we got it it was in synch with the olympics
