Where the start date comes from

The Bureau of Meteorology counts Australia's seasons from the first of the month, not from the solstices and equinoxes, because that fits Australian temperatures better. The seasons page has all four side by side, and the tropics' wet and dry.

The other three: summer · winter · spring.
