This year’s summer solstice will occur today, Sunday 21 June, at 09.24 BST.
The summer solstice occurs in June in the Northern Hemisphere and marks midsummer: the 'longest day' and 'shortest night' of the year.
The summer solstice is not actually a day, but an exact moment in time that falls upon that day. This moment comes when whichever hemisphere you're in is most tilted towards the Sun.
