Guess you learn something everyday. I would assume that the dates are
attached to the seasons but apparently not so in places like Oz:

The definition of season varies all around the world. In fact in some part
of Oz it is different to others. People tend to forget that we have
tropical, subtropical, warm and cool temperate climates in the one country.
In Darwin they have only wet and dry. In Sydney they have four seasons in a
year, in Melbourne in a day.
