John Connor's DOB is February 28, 1985, and he is 10 years old in the movie (these facts are stated in the T2 script). Therefore, most of T2 must take place in the summer of 1995.

Sap sweetness has been observed to be lower in years following a growing season when conditions were unfavorable for production of sugar through photosynthesis. For example, if a stand is attacked one year by insects that defoliate the maple trees, the next year’s sap would be expected to be low in sugar.
