Entering Summer
In both hemispheres, Summer begins on the Solstice and is the day with the longest period of daylight.Â
In the Northern Hemisphere, Summer Solstice happens sometime between June 20 and June 22.Â
In the Southern Hemisphere, Summer Solstice occurs between December 20 and December 23.
Spring flew swiftly by, and summer came; and if the village had been beautiful at first, it was now in the full glow and luxuriance of its richness. The great trees, which had looked shrunken and bare in the earlier months, had now burst into strong life and health; and stretching forth their green arms over the thirsty ground, converted open and naked spots into choice nooks, where was a deep and pleasant shade from which to look upon the wide prospect, steeped in sunshine, which lay stretched out beyond. The earth had donned her mantle of brightest green; and shed her richest perfumes abroad. It was the prime and vigour of the year; all things were glad and flourishing.
Charles Dickens
