Happy Summer Solstice.
In 2020, the June solstice is Saturday, June 20, at 5:44 P.M. EDT. This date marks the official beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, occurring when Earth arrives at the point in its orbit where the North Pole is at its maximum tilt (about 23.5 degrees) toward the Sun, resulting in the longest day and shortest night of the calendar year. (By longest “day,” we mean the longest period of sunlight.)
I just dug up the following information for where we are:
Andalucia is 750 m above sea level (although my altimeter says 955 m) and located at 4.17° N 76.17° W. Andalucia has a population of 17,432.
Sunrise was at 5:54am and sunset will be at 6:16pm. That is the most variance we get from 12 hour days and nights. Rainstorms are predicted this late afternoon and evening over a very wide area.
I was just finishing poop patrol at 8am this morning when Cristina was off with niece Ana to visit relatives in Roldanillo where she was raised. I killed time taking a few photos before having a nap. Now I am ready for another nap, lol.
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
