Warm-weather school hiatuses
Summer vacations are extended breaks from school or work during the warmest months, typically June through August in the Northern Hemisphere.
The term usually refers to the long recess in the academic calendar: The kids are home for summer vacation.
For working adults, summer vacation means time off taken during this season, often for travel or leisure: We're planning our summer vacation to the beach.
