About:Mid-Autumn Festival

Why does a "mid-autumn" celebration take place during summer?

If it's supposed to be celebrated in the middle of autumn (northern hemisphere), then why are the dates listed during summer? Summer doesn't end until September 22-23 (23rd this year).

August is always the harvest season. People held a series of ceremonies to thank God’s protection. The celebration is called the ‘Zhong Qiu’. In the mid-autumn festival, the temperature is getting colder and colder. Generally speaking, it is the best season to watch the moon. Therefore, the content of the festival was gradually replaced by watching the moon.
