Summer is Officially Here!
June 20th was officially the first day of summer this year, occurring on the summer solstice. This day has the longest period of daylight during the year in our hemisphere. An interesting fact: If you were outside at noon on the 20th you were looking at your shortest 'noontime' shadow of the year.
