It’s interesting how most of these days are in summer or autumn, hardly any are in winter.
They are probably mostly anniversaries of important historical events, which tend to occur when the weather is nice.
Sometimes I feel also because it's just more pleasant to celebrate when the weather is nice.
A good example is Luxembourg which just decided to have it's national day in June because why not:

Britain has also been doing that since at least Edward VII. His mother, Queen Victoria was born in late May so there was no need for this type of trickery.
