Today, besides being the first day of summer, is also the longest day of the year.
Well, no, the day is not ‘longer’ because of more hours and minutes. It is still a 24 hour day.
But, this is the day of the year with the longest time of daylight.
After today, until the winter solstice in December, the time of daylight will get shorter and shorter and shorter and ...
Then at the Winter Solstice, the shortest daylight day of the year, the days begin to get longer again until we reach next year’s “first day of summer”.
And on and on the cycle goes day after day, year after year.
Hmmm. Sounds like some kind of ‘design’ here.
Anyway, today, June 21, is the Summer Solstice, the First day of summer, and the day of the year with most daylight, hence the longest day of the year.
Just thought you would want to know.
So get outside and enjoy the day with the most sunlight until this time next year.
