## Resource

Summer solstice arrives early this year—June 21st at 4:24 AM ET—marking the longest day and the official start of astronomical summer in the Northern Hemisphere. While meteorologists kick off summer on June 1st for climate tracking, the solstice reflects Earth’s tilt and orbit, shifting yearly. With heat already brewing across the Northeast and West, it’s time to gear up for summer—and stay safe as daylight stretches and temperatures rise.
