The Summer Solstice - Longest Day
From the Latin sol meaning Sun, and sistere meaning to come to a stop or stand still.
The Sun will reach its northernmost position as seen from our Earth. The Sun’s zenith will stand still at the Tropic of Cancer, and then reverse its direction and start moving south again.
Astronomers and scientists take this date to be the first day of Summer, although meteorologists use the 1st June as the first day of Summer.
The Arctic Circle will have 24 hours of continuous daylight.
So today I thought I would take the opportunity to paint my nails s wonderful bright summery colour! I chose Sweet Treat by Cuccio, with a dash of Meet me in Helsinki, also byCuccio.
Today has been a wonderfully sunny day with just a sprinkle of rain earlier. Cheers to Summer!
