Although the heat has already settled between us, summer will not officially begin until June 20 . That day will also be the longest of the year, and the Sun will be at noon at the highest point in the sky.
To be precise, summer will start at exactly 22:34 UTC time. The reason why each year the solstice occurs at a certain time is that on that day the Sun reaches its maximum north declination (+ 23º 27 ') and its maximum separation towards the north of the celestial equator. At the same time, in the southern hemisphere the winter solstice occurs.
According to the meteorological models, summer will begin with normal temperatures for the time of year in which we are. The month of June is usually, in fact, a warm month, with an average temperature of 21.1 degrees. The rains are not as abundant as in the previous months -March, April or May-, however, it is the month in which it rains the most of the three of the summer -June, July and August-, with average rainfall of 31mm, they report from eltiempo.es.
In addition, those who remember with terror the heat wave suffered in Spain in July 2015 will be reassured to know that this year it is expected to live a summer with more normal temperatures . So all you have to do is take off your swimsuit and plan your next vacation!
