On 18 Dec 2025, Northern Realms said the following...

 NR> Season (Northern Hemisphere): Winter
 NR> Season (Southern Hemisphere): Summer

TIL there's such a thing as "meteorological seasons" which this script was using
for some reason:

"Meteorological seasons divide the year into consistent, three-month periods
based on the annual temperature cycle, making it easier for record-keeping,
agriculture, and commerce; they define winter as Dec-Jan-Feb, spring as
Mar-Apr-May, summer as Jun-Jul-Aug, and fall as Sep-Oct-Nov, starting on the
first day of the months (Dec 1, Mar 1, etc.) for fixed intervals, unlike
astronomical seasons which vary with Earth's orbit."

I've now updated the script to use "astronomical seasons", so tomorrow you'll
see Northern Hemisphere: Autumn & Southern Hemisphere: Spring until the 21st
when the seasons actually change.

Here in Ontario it has felt like winter for quite some time, so maybe we SHOULD
be using meteorological seasons...
