Our Winter Solstice is here for the Northern Hemisphere! So what does that mean for us? Essentially, our hours of daylight—the period of time each day between sunrise and sunset—have been growing slightly shorter each day since the summer solstice last June, which is the longest day of the year (at least in terms of light). The days will now begin to grow longer and will continue to do so until we reach the summer solstice again in June, and begin the whole cycle anew.

The summer solstice marks the onset of summer, occurring twice a year in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. In the Northern Hemisphere, it is recognized as the June solstice, while in the Southern Hemisphere, it is referred to as the December solstice. #SummerSolstice #JuneSolstice #DecemberSolstice

Aahh. This is the type of calendar quirk that I dream about. Tomorrow's summer solstice, in the four-o'clock PM hour, June 20, will be the earliest which the solstice falls on the calendar since the year 1796. The reason is that the leap year adjustment which occurs almost every four years (note that 1700, 1800 and 1900 were not leap years) serves to hammer back the solstice calendar day a bit too much. For the remainder of this century, there will be a fair number of other June 20 solstice dates.
