The first day of summer for San Diego has finally arrived. Time to kick back, relax, and enjoy some much needed time at the beach.
But what signifies as the actual first day of summer? What makes the 21st of June so special? It is the day of the Summer Solstice. The beginning of the solstice is at 10:16 am PT and marks itself as the longest day of the year. This happens when the Sun is farthest north and the Earth is tilted at its max towards the Sun. It marks itself as the longest day of the year because the length of time between the sunrise and sunset is at the day’s maximum length for the year. Thereby having the longest day and the shortest night. Those in the Northern Hemisphere, like us, have the Summer Solstice happen in June, whereas those in the Southern Hemisphere have it in December. How long has the Summer Solstice been recognized though? And how was it celebrated?
