Are we going to define summer as beginning on 21st June, the day of the summer solstice and ending on the day of 20th September at midnight PST?

This question is already set to suspend on Sat 20th Sep 11:59pm PST (22 weeks), the autumn equinox. As this is the astrononmical measurement of the last day of summer, it is only fair to take the astrononmical first day of summer, June 21st, as the beginning of the question (although for UK/Europe most people would go with 1st June being the beginning of summer). Therefore, if the dollar reaches (or exceeds) the figure stated BETWEEN June 1st and Sept 20th, inclusive, it will be settled as yes. If it reaches (or exceeds) the figure only before or after that duration, it will be settled as no.

Hope that's ok with everyone.

I will take Lesley's interpretation. When I created the question I screwed up on that part and should have put it as between NOW and the end of summer (Sept 20th) ... but since I did state summer without any other qualifiers ... then it should only count as during the summer season... and since the question relates to a North American country, it should be counted as the summer season during that country.
