The Philippines and other countries in the northern hemisphere will experience their longest day of the year on Wednesday, June 21.

PAGASA said the June Solstice will occur at 10:58 p.m.

”By then, the Sun will reach its most northerly point in the sky in Taurus at a declination of 23.5°N. During the June Solstice, the northern hemisphere will experience the longest day and will mark the first day of summer,” the state weather bureau said.

”Subsequently, it will also mark the first day of winter in the southern hemisphere, wherein the Sun will have a shorter time staying above the horizon than any other day of the year.”
