People generally take advantage of the high temperatures by spending more time outdoors during
summer. Activities such as travelling to the beach and picnics occur during the summer months.
Sports including cricket, association football (soccer), horse racing, basketball, American
football, volleyball, skateboarding, baseball, softball, tennis and golf are played.
Water sports also occur. These include water
skiing, wakeboarding, swimming, surfing, tubing and water polo. The modern Olympics have been
held during the summer months every four years since 1896. The 2000 Summer Olympics,
in Sydney, were held in spring and the 2016 Summer Olympics, in Rio de Janeiro, were held
in winter.
In the United States, many television shows made for children are released during the summer, as
children are off school.
Conversely, the music and film industries generally experience higher returns during the summer
than other times of the year and market their summer hits accordingly. Summer is popular
for animated movies to be released theatrically in movie theaters.[citation needed]
With many schools closed, especially in Western countries, travel and vacationing tend to peak
during the summer. Teenagers and university students often take summer jobs, and business
activity for the recreation, tourism, restaurant, and retail industries reach their peak.
