Summer Solstice
Summer begins at 1:46 AM Tuesday. This is known as the Summer Solstice. What is a solstice? It is the date at which the sun appears directly overhead at noon the furthest north (tropic of Cancer, 23.5 degrees north of the equator) and the furthest south (tropic of Capricorn, 23.5 degrees south of the equator) during the year.
So, on Tuesday at 1:46 AM the sun will be at it's furthest north point in the northern hemisphere. We will be having our first day of summer, the southern hemisphere will be having their first day of winter, it is the Winter Solstice for them. Refer to the diagram below.
The weather will be right in line with the time of year. We will be dominated by an upper level ridge the next 5-7 days. This means little if any chance of rain with temperatures in the low 90s.

Hello!
My name is Jacob Honeycutt. I have been interested in weather sence I was 5 years old. I am now 13. I love NBC Action News and the NBC Action Weather team! I also listen to Gary all the time on 106.5 WDAF. I am wondering if it is possible to get something that has the Action News logo on it. I would really Appreciate that!
Jacob
