What is Summer Solstice?

The Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year when the sun reaches its highest position in the sky for the year in a particular location. It typically occurs around June 21st in the Northern Hemisphere and around December 21st in the Southern Hemisphere.

During the solstice, the North or South Pole is tilted most directly toward the Sun, resulting in the maximum daylight hours of the year. This event marks the official beginning of summer in many cultures.

The Summer Solstice has been celebrated historically as a time of fertility, harvest, and community gatherings. Many cultures have festivals and rituals to honor the sun, such as:

Midsummer festivals in Scandinavia
Stonehenge and other ancient sites aligned with the solstice
Bonfires, dances, and ceremonies to celebrate the light and the start of the warmer months

It’s a time for beach trips, barbecues, and outdoor adventures. In 2026, the solstice is on June 20.

How to Calculate Days Manually

No calculator? Here’s how to count days to Summer by hand:

Method 1: Simple Subtraction

If today is in June 2026:

Subtract today’s date from 20.
Example: On June 1, 2026, 20 - 1 = 19 days.

If today is before June 2026:

Add remaining days in the current month, days in months until May, plus 20 days in June.
Example: On June 17, 2025, 13 days (June) + 31 (July) + 31 (August) + 30 (September) + 31 (October) + 30 (November) + 31 (December) + 31 (January) + 28 (February) + 31 (March) + 30 (April) + 31 (May) + 20 (June) = 368 days.
