Today, June 21, is the summer solstice. That means at noon today the sun is the highest in the sky it will be in the Northern Hemisphere. You can read more about it at EarthSky here. You can also read more at Time magazine here.
But even though it is the day when the sun is highest in the sky, it’s not the hottest day of the year. For more about why not, read this NOAA article. Check it out at https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/news/warmest-day-of-the-year.
