gobbledonk Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Today marked our Winter Solstice, and those of you who live in northern Europe/Scotland/Russia etc are presumably enjoying very long evenings. I take some small comfort from the fact that each day from here brings me closer to our Spring, even if our Winter is a pale imitation of the horrors that face many of you come December. How anyone lives in northern China/Korea or Japan is a mystery to me. Bring on October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobbledonk Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 OK - wishful thinking on my part (doh !), but July 21 WILL roll around and when it does, this thread will be GOLD ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allistar Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Am I missing something? The Summer Solstice in the Northern hemisphere is now. Those in Australia can officially start their countdown now, not in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Northern Solstice The northern solstice on the earth occurs in June according to the Gregorian calendar. Common are June 20 and June 21. It is therefore also known as June solstice in Western culture. In the Northern Hemisphere it is the summer solstice, in the Southern Hemisphere it is the winter solstice.
