Summer solstice: the longest day of the year

Today marks the summer solstice, the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. In Dhaka, daylight lasts 13 hours, 35 minutes, and 59 seconds. This year’s solstice is the earliest in 228 years. While not the hottest day due to seasonal lag, it signals the beginning of summer. The event coincides with the “strawberry moon,” a full moon appearing larger due to its low position. Climate activists used the occasion to raise awareness about fossil fuels. Daily Star
