In this sentence, 'siden' denotes a point in time (last summer) from which an action or state continues to the present moment.
Siden du lagde mærke til regnen, blev vi derhjemme.
Since you noticed the rain, we stayed home.
Here, 'siden' is used to indicate a cause or reason for an action, similar to 'because' or 'since' in English.

A lot has happened since.
In this case, 'siden' acts as an adverb referring to a previously mentioned point in time, without repeating the time phrase explicitly.
