Summer is coming a little later for the East Coast than the West this year; arriving just after 1 a.m. Eastern Standard time on Friday, June 21. On the West Coast, though, they’ll be squeezing into teeny tiny bikini’s earlier –10:04 p.m. Thursday, to be precise.
It’s not unusual for the solstice to span two days, according to Weather Underground – over the past 52 solstices and equinoxes it’s happened 11 times in the continental United States.
During the solstice, we get the most sunlight of any day of the year. Kind of. We’ll see about 14 hours and 54 minutes of sunlight Friday, the same amount of sunlight we had Thursday, according to the U.S. Naval Observatory.
