I suppose that, if you calculate that time back to your respective time zone, then that will be the time when summer begins in your area.  Don't know how they figure that one out.

Wednesday's highest recorded temperature in the lower 48 states was 107 degrees at a place in California whose name I forgot, while the lowest was 27 degrees at a both unpronounceable and unwritable town in Michigan.
