Summer solstice

For English click the 'select language' button'.

20 June 2020 is the day of the summer solstice, Midsummer 'solstitium aestivum', the longest day of the year. And it heralds the start of summer! Normally, the summer solstice is on June 21, but in a leap year it happens on June 20, just before midnight.

In my previous blog you can read in detail about the solstice, short days, long days, start of summer, autumn, spring and winter.

For now, a nice summer and a nice long Midsummer evening!
