The summer solstice is a day that signifies the arrival of a new season. It denotes the longest and shortest days and happens twice a year.
The summer solstice normally occurs in December in the Southern Hemisphere and on June 20 or 21 in the Northern Hemisphere.
For those who live in the Northern Hemisphere—which includes nations like the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, China, Australia, and India—the summer solstice signifies the longest day and the shortest night of the year.
The festival solstice is a significant event celebrated by cultures around the world. In India, the day is being celebrated as Yoga Day.
The iconic Stonehenge monument, situated in England, was built to align with the summer solstice. Every year, thousands flock to Stonehenge to mark the beginning of summer.
Despite the long hours of sunlight, the summer solstice does not mark the hottest day of the year.
This is due to a concept called “seasonal lag”, which means that the earth and its atmosphere take time to heat up, which is why the hottest days of summer will likely last several weeks.
