On average, there is a one-month lag between the solstice and peak summer temperatures. That&#8217;s why July is almost always the hottest month of the year in most locations.<\/p>\n<p>During the solstice the sun will be directly above the Tropic of Cancer. That&#8217;s the farthest north the sun moves in the sky, which is why the days close to the solstice have the most daylight of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Some people call it &#8220;the longest day of the year,&#8221; but to be precise, it&#8217;s the day with the most daylight because every &#8220;day&#8221; has 24 hours. The amount of daylight will be roughly consistent for a few more days before shrinking each day until the winter solstice in late December.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"June 20th is the 172nd day of the year.
