June solstice in 2024
This year’s June solstice is the earliest in 228 years. The solstice arrives at 20:51 UTC on June 20, 2024. The last time the solstice arrived earlier than this was in 1796, when it occurred at 17:45 UTC on June 20.
When is it?
A solstice isn’t a whole day. Instead, it’s the moment when the sun is farthest north in our sky. In 2024, the solstice moment will fall at 20:51 UTC (3:51 p.m. CDT) on Thursday, June 20.
What is it?
At the June solstice, the sun reaches its northernmost point. This point is on the celestial Tropic of Cancer, a parallel around the sky, 23.5 degrees north of the celestial equator. At this solstice, the Northern Hemisphere is most tilted toward the sun, by the maximum angle of 23.5 degrees. Conversely, the south is most tilted away, by the same amount.
What are its main effects?
At the June solstice, no matter where you are on Earth, the sun rises and sets farthest north on your horizon. The sun is directly overhead at local noon as viewed from the Tropic of Cancer. Throughout the Northern Hemisphere, the sun is high in the sky and closest to being overhead at local noon.
What about day length?
For us in the Northern Hemisphere, the June solstice marks the shortest nights and longest days of the year. For the Southern Hemisphere, however, it marks the longest nights and shortest days. After this solstice, the sun will begin moving southward in our sky again.
