short summer

Fleeting sunny season

A short summer is a period of warm weather that arrives briefly outside the main summer season.

Most often appears in compounds: Indian summer (warm spell in autumn), St.

Martin's summer (similar, around November 11), or St.

Luke's summer (mid-October).

These describe unexpected warmth after cold has seemingly set in, a last respite before winter.
