That is 0 full weeks left, with 0 weekends still to enjoy before summer begins.
The June solstice is the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. On that day the sun climbs to its highest point in the sky, daylight lasts longer than on any other day, and the slow turn toward shorter days begins.
Meteorological summer, the season used for weather records, starts earlier, on June 1. This page counts to the astronomical start of summer, the June solstice on June 21. In the southern hemisphere the seasons are swapped, so June brings winter, not summer.
