I don't recall anywhere in which chesskid001 said it was the beginning of summer 😉

But yeah I think in America it's technically still Spring. Happy Spring from the US West!

In America, June 21st is the "official" beginning of summer. You're jumping the gun a bit.

In Ireland it's May 1st, so you're way behind.

I'm pretty sure today is the beginning of summer in Nowhere.

Meteorologically speaking, summer is the time of the year during which the normal daily mean temperature is above 10C. In Bodø, that's 12th June (meteorological spring started yesterday). There are several places in Norway where summer has already started. The closest to today I found is 22nd May (Værnes), but the chart I found has only few places, and only in Norway. I am sure there are some places other than Nowhere where summer begins today.

If yesterday was his last day of school, then today is the first day of his summer vacation. For many people, Memorial Day or Memorial Day Weekend is officially the start of summer.

Crummy weather here, but happy summer, kiddo.

Are there any schools starting their holidays that early?

Summer in the northern hemisphere is marked by the date of the maximum tilt of the Earth towards the Sun. This also marks the date of the Summer Solstice, which is the first day of summer. As this is a worldwide event, there is no way it can be May 1st or any other date except the date of the Summer Solstice, which is June 21st this year.
