Today is the first day of summer, and the longest day of the year.
We’re set to see some beautiful temperatures in Dauphin this coming week to kick off the season, with highs for most days in the mid to upper 20s.
Throughout the province, the summer solstice will happen tonight at 10:32 p.m.
On the solstice, the sun is visible in the sky for a longer period of time, causing the day to seem longer.
On this day, the sun doesn’t rise precisely in the east, but to the north of east, and sets to the north of west.
After the solstice, the days start gradually getting shorter.
This year summer will last for 93 days, ending with the equinox on September 22nd.
