Happy summer

Summer_smallToday is the first day of summer.

Solstice is derived from Latin solstitium (from sol: "sun" and sistere: "stand still").

The summer solstice is the day of the year with the longest daylight period and hence the shortest night.

The day of the winter solstice is the shortest day and the longest night of the year.

P.S.  I don’t quite understand that graphic… but I know it’s hot and the days are longer.
