Today is the longest day of the year in Pakistan because the north pole is oriented in the direction closest to the sun. But the days will start to become shorter after today.
The summer solstice is a day that signifies the arrival of a new season. It denotes the longest and shortest days and happens twice a year.
The summer solstice normally occurs in December in the Southern Hemisphere and on June 20 or 21 in the Northern Hemisphere.
For those who live in the Northern Hemisphere—which includes nations like the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, China, Australia, and India—the summer solstice signifies the longest day and the shortest night of the year.
Festival solstices are important occasions that are observed by civilizations all across the world. The day is observed as Yoga Day in India.
The famous Stonehenge monument in England was constructed with the summer solstice in mind. Thousands of people gather at Stonehenge each year to celebrate the start of summer.
Is the day of the summer solstice the warmest of the year?
The summer solstice does not represent the warmest day of the year, despite the extended hours of sunlight.
The reason for this is a phenomenon known as “seasonal lag,” which states that because the planet and its atmosphere take time to warm up, the summer’s hottest days will probably persist for many weeks.
