“The solstice comes in June and why? The sun is highest in the sky.”
This old saying tells an abridged version of an old astronomical observation – the summer solstice. This year’s summer solstice will occur on June 21, when the sun will be at its highest point north of the equator here in the Northern Hemisphere. This results in the longest period of daylight relative to darkness throughout the year. Summer officially starts this day, even though the days start getting shorter.
Naturally, the opposite will occur in Latonia; when the winter solstice comes around. But rather than think about that, we would prefer to stay in the warm, summer moments. Stay safe and enjoy all the daylight that you can. Enjoy your summer!
