About the First Day of Summer
The first day of summer in the north is the June solstice, the longest day of the year. It falls on June 20 or 21, depending on the year and the time zone.
Whether you look forward to the June solstice or only need to get ready for it, the days left are the same. This page shows them in days, weeks, sleeps and more.
Planning for the First Day of Summer
Start with the weeks. If the June solstice is a long way off, plan in months. As it gets close, switch to days and then hours, and keep a short list for each stage.
Months give the big picture. If the June solstice is many months away, the months tile gives a figure you can use for long term plans and savings.
The date of the June solstice can shift from year to year, and the table of the next ten years shows when. Use it to plan far ahead or to check an old date.
For a gift, order with time to spare. Delivery times lengthen as the June solstice approaches, so the count of days left is a useful guide to when to buy.
Dates are shown for the current year and the next ten. For years further away, rules may change, so check closer to the time.
