If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, you have likely felt the cognitive dissonance of the seasons. You step outside on March 21st—the official "First Day of Spring"—only to be greeted by a biting wind and a stubborn layer of snow on the ground. Conversely, you swelter through August heatwaves, only to be told that "Autumn" has technically begun in late September.
We often treat the seasons as rigid boxes, but they are fluid transitions. The exact dates matter less than the realization that we are living on a tilted rock spinning around a star, trying to predict the chaos of an atmosphere that has a lag of its own.
