    First day of summer 2024: Everything To Know

    Happy First Day Of Summer!!

    When Does Summer Begin?

    The first day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere is June 20, 2024. On this day, we celebrate the summer solstice, which marks the beginning of a longer period of daylight. Let’s explore the significance of this celestial event!

    What Is the Summer Solstice?

    • The term “solstice” originates from the Latin word “solstitium,” meaning “Sun stands still.” It occurs twice a year when one of Earth’s poles is tilted toward the sun at its most extreme angle.
    • During the June solstice, the Northern Hemisphere receives sunlight at the most direct angle of the year. At this exact moment, the Northern Hemisphere encounters its summer solstice, while the Southern Hemisphere experiences its winter solstice.

    The Longest Day of the Year

    • On June 20, residents in the Northern Hemisphere will experience the longest day of the year. The sun will be directly over the Tropic of Cancer at 23.5° latitude North.
    • Astronomers consider this the official beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. It’s a time of warmth, outdoor adventures, and embracing the sun’s energy.

    Astronomical vs. Meteorological Seasons

    • Astronomically, the solstices and equinoxes mark the start of seasons. The summer solstice initiates astronomical summer.
    • Meteorologically, seasons are divided into three-month groups based on temperature cycles. These are more closely tied to our monthly civil calendar.

    Celebrating the Solstice

    • Cultures worldwide have celebrated the solstice through various traditions and rituals. From witnessing the sun align with Stonehenge in England to dancing around maypoles in Sweden, this event holds cultural significance.
