Where these dates come from
Each season above is read from the text a source publishes: the markets' own websites. We take the dates as written ("May 16 – October 10", "June through October") and do not estimate missing ones; a register older than 2023, or website text we could not tie to the current season, is left out. A register's dates describe the season of the year it was published, which the source line gives.
- Market websites: 25
More on how listings are built is in the methodology. If a date here is wrong or out of date, send a correction.
