We just passed the summer solstice of the twenty-four solar terms

Do you remember what you learned about the summer solstice in geography class when you were in school?

The summer solstice is the 10th solar term of the twenty-four solar terms.

On the summer solstice, the position of the sun directly hitting the ground reaches the northernmost point of the year, almost directly hitting the Tropic of Cancer. At this time, the daylight hours in the northern hemisphere are the longest of the year. The summer solstice is also the day of the year when the sun is at its highest at noon for the Tropic of Cancer and its north.

The summer solstice is the turning point when the sun travels north. After the summer solstice, the point of direct sunlight begins to move south from the Tropic of Cancer, and the days in the northern hemisphere begin to gradually shorten.

Have you also experienced high temperature, high humidity, and thunderstorms from time to time these days? Yes, this is exactly what the weather is like after the summer solstice. So, remember to bring an umbrella when you go out!

May all good things come as promised!
