Summer's first day approaches
The summer solstice occurs when Earth's Northern Hemisphere tilts 23.5 degrees toward the sun, marking the longest day of the year with approximately 15 hours and 17 minutes of daylight. This event signals the start of astronomical summer, although the warmest days in the region typically occur later due to seasonal lag. Despite the increased daylight, temperatures continue to rise, with recent summers experiencing record highs and rainfall on solstice days.
