The first day of summer, also known as the summer solstice, has finally arrived, which means that the season of beaches, vacations, and fun has finally begun. So when exactly does the first day of the sunny season begin?
Find out below when summer will start this year, and learn more about the summer solstice.
It depends on where you are in the northern hemisphere, but the first day of summer should start between June 20 and 22, 2025. This is also known as the summer solstice. During this time, the Earth tilts its northern point towards the sun.
Contrary to popular belief, the summer solstice does not depend on a specific date or time on the calendar. It rather depends on when the Sun reaches its northernmost point from the equator each year. Therefore, the summer solstice usually occurs between June 20 and 22 each year. Most people consider the first day of summer to be June 21 in the United States.
The term «solstice» comes from the Latin words «sol» (sun) and «stitium» («pause» or «stop»).
This will mark the beginning of summer (in the northern hemisphere).
The longest day of the year usually occurs during the summer solstice, as this time has the longest period of sunlight and the shortest night of the year. So between June 20 and 22, depending on your location, you will experience the longest day of the year, as the northern hemisphere shifts towards its summer season.
The summer of 2025 should officially end during the autumnal equinox, which will occur on September 22, 2025. At this time, cooler temperatures rise for those in the northern hemisphere, while spring begins for those in the southern hemisphere. Autumnal and vernal equinoxes occur when the sun is above the equator, so the length of day and night are almost equal
