To learn more about this topic, start your googling with these keywords:
Astronomical seasons - seasons that are defined by equinoxes and solstices (not temperature or weather)
Equinox: the time/dates at which the sun crosses the celestial equator, when day and night are of approximately equal length
Solstice: the time/dates at which the sun reaches its maximum or minimum declination, marked by the longest and shortest days
Seasonal lag: the phenomenon by which the hottest/coldest days of the year are delayed until after the days with the most/least sunlight
