Wait a Minute! Summer’s Over?

Life seems to whiz past much too fast sometimes. If you find that sentence relatable, you probably woke one recent morning and wondered where summer went. Well, we have good news.

Technically, Summer’s Not Over Yet!

This is just your reminder that the current state of the seasons all depends on how you look at your calendar.

Sure, most folks view Labor Day Weekend as summer’s last hurrah! But that doesn’t mean it’s actually autumn already.

In fact, summer remains with us until the autumnal equinox, the moment the sun rests directly over Earth’s equator on its way to producing warmer days in the Southern Hemisphere. For 2024, that equinox occurs on September 22 at 7:44 AM CDT.

We hope it feels good to know that you’ve got a little time to sneak a bit more summer fun into this year.

Do You Need a Couple Very-Late Summer Ideas?

To be fair, we can’t really call this time period late summer. The vibe here is more like very late summer.

Fortunately, you can expect Milwaukee’s September weather to support getting outside for solo and group events:

• Running in the park
• Enjoying a few of Milwaukee’s best bike rides
• Sailing on the lake
• Strolling along your favorite scenic route
• Taking in a Brewers’ game at American Family Field

Clearly, there’s plenty to do around Milwaukee before summer truly turns to fall. We encourage you to take advantage of the sunny season’s last days.
