Xliponian Seasons
From IBWiki

In Xliponia 21 December is considered (and quite rightly so, from an astronomical viewpoint) the middle of Winter. Therefore, Winter does not run from late December to late March as elsewhere, but rather from early November to early February. The Xliponian seasons are defined as follows:
| 06 November - 04 February | Winter (Giem) | 91 days |
| 05 February - 07 May | Spring (Ber) | 92 days (93 days in leap years) |
| 08 May - 06 August | Summer (Aiças) | 91 days |
| 07 August - 05 November | Autumn (Auçunn) | 91 days |
At the cost of increasing the difference among the seasons' lengths in days, they are reckoned by common folk as coincident with full calendar months:
- Winter = November + December + January
- Spring = February + March + April
- Summer = May + June + July
- Autumn = August + September + October
