Happy summer! June 21st marks the arrival of the June Solstice and the astronomical first day of summer. The solstice is celebrated by many cultures around the world, and is a time to dust off the winter cobwebs, reflect, and enjoy the ongoing days of sun and light.
Everything You Should Know About the Longest Day of the Year
Solstices happen every June and December, occurring at the same time around the world and marking the year's longest and shortest days. During the solstice, the sun is at its highest point--over the Tropic of Cancer--and there are the most hours of daylight and least hours of darkness of any day in the year. This marks the astronomical start of summer in the northern half of the globe.
