Actually, it can’t be the summer time. Let me explain why. In Day Trip they mention that winter is coming and fast. Clarke mentions they are stalking up on food but will freeze before starving. Meaning it’s already getting cold for the characters. Also if you watch one of the scenes some kid is using a piece of metal to scrape ice and water out of one of the Dropship seats. It is not summer. Because there is no snow and it’s still slightly hot it has to be somewhere around September – October.



You have to remember that the world went through a nuclear war, which result in a climate change. The Earth experienced a nuclear winter. After that the weather system would start fixing itself. I’d imagine by the time the 100 took place it has fixed itself or is close to fixing itself.



The seasons would once again be around their proper times. The Summer Equinox takes place in March and the Summer Solstice in June. The Winter Equinox takes place in September and Winter Solstice is in December.



The 100 are on earth sometime around the Winter Equinox. Which means Clarke was also born between the Winter Equinox and  Winter Solstice; a.k.a. September – December. Which could very well make her birthday in October – November. Depending on what month the 100 camp down.



Which means, depending on how long our cast is in Mount Weather, they may very well spend their first winter inside Mount Weather.



Unless of course Jason forgets Winter was mentioned in Day Trip.
