Summer time season formally begins throughout the Northern Hemisphere at current 20 June, marking the longest day of the 12 months. The summer time season solstice, which is when the Photo voltaic reaches the most northerly stage throughout the sky, is about to occur tonight at 21:50 BST/22:50 CEST.
In the midst of the summer time season solstice, the Northern Hemisphere will experience the longest interval of daylight in a day or the longest day of the 12 months. That is because of Earth’s place in orbit throughout the Photo voltaic and the best way during which the North Pole is tilted within the route of the Photo voltaic all through the solstice.
The Photo voltaic’s rays hit the Northern Hemisphere at their most direct angle, resulting in in all probability probably the most extended interval of daylight. Whatever the prolonged hours of daylight, it may not primarily be the most popular day of the 12 months.
