In our present definition of seasons, this is the first day of summer.?
In a few hours, we will have the shortest night of the year.? Long time ago, it would have been called "Mid-Summer's Night".? Summer was once defined as beginning half-way between the equinox and the solstice. That would a better match to when the weather changes in CA.? It would also require someone to do a little arithmetic.
Some countries just say summer is June, July and August.?
Anyway, if Shakespeare was alive today, he might have used a different name for his play.
