LOS ANGELES (AP) – American GIs in World War II would pin up photos of Rita Hayworth and Betty Grable, but June Allyson was the girl they wanted to come home to.Allyson played the 'perfect wife' of James Stewart, Van Johnson and other heroes, but when she died Saturday at her home in Ojai it was with David Ashrow, her real-life husband of nearly 30 years, at her side. She was 88.She died of pulmonary respiratory failure and acute bronchitis after a long illness, said her daughter, Pamela Allyson Powell.' I had the most wonderful last meeting with June at her house. We were such dear friends. I will miss her,' said lifelong friend and fellow Esther Williams.With typical wonderment, Allyson expressed surprise in a 1986 interview that she had ever become a movie star:'I have big teeth. My eyes disappear when I smile. My voice is funny.

When is the Summer Solstice?In 2020, the June solstice is Saturday, June 20, at 5:44 P.M. This date marks the official beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, occurring when Earth arrives at the point in its orbit where the North Pole is at its maximum tilt (about 23.5 degrees) toward the Sun, resulting in the longest day and shortest night of the calendar year. (By longest “day,” we mean the longest period of sunlight.) At the June solstice, the Northern Hemisphere receives sunlight at the most direct angle of the year.
YearSummer Solstice (Northern Hemisphere)2020Saturday, June 20 at 5:44 P.M. EDT2021Sunday, June 20 at 11:32 P.M. EDT2022Tuesday, June 21 at 5:14 A.M.
EDT2023Wednesday, June 21 at 10:58 A.M. EDTNote: In the Southern Hemisphere, the June solstice marks the beginning of winter. What is the Summer Solstice?In the Northern Hemisphere, the June solstice (aka summer solstice) occurs when the Sun reaches both its highest and northernmost points in the sky. It marks the start of summer in the northern half of the globe. (In contrast, the June solstice in the Southern Hemisphere is when the Sun is at its lowest point in the sky, marking the start of winter.)The word “solstice” comes from Latin solstitium—from sol (Sun) and stitium (still or stopped), reflecting the fact that on the solstice, the Sun appears to stop “moving” in the sky as it reaches its northern- or southernmost point (declination) for the year, as seen from Earth.After the solstice, the Sun appears to reverse course and head back in the opposite direction. The motion referred to here is the apparent path of the Sun when one views its position in the sky at the same time each day, for example at local noon. Over the year, its path forms a sort of flattened figure eight, called an analemma.
Of course, the Sun itself is not moving (unless you consider its own orbit around the Milky Way galaxy); instead, this change in position in the sky that we on Earth notice is caused by the tilt of Earth’s axis as it orbits the Sun, as well as Earth’s elliptical, rather than circular, orbit.Does the Solstice Always Occur on the Same Day?The timing of the June solstice is not based on a specific calendar date or time; it all depends on when the Sun reaches its northernmost point from the equator. Therefore, the solstice won’t always occur on the same day. Currently, it shifts between June 20, 21, and 22.The Year’s Longest DayThe Summer Solstice is the day with the longest period of sunlight. Notice how the Sun appears highest in the sky at the solstice; its rays strike Earth at a more direct angle, causing the efficient warming we call summer. Because the Sun is highest in the sky on this day, you’ll notice that your shadow (at local, or solar, noon, not clock-time noon) is the shortest that it will be all year. Local noon is when the Sun crosses the local meridian (an imaginary line between the North and South poles) and is highest in the sky for the day.For those who live in the Southern Hemisphere, this is the shortest day of the year and marks the arrival of winter.! Frequently Asked Questions Q: Is the Summer Solstice the First Day of Summer?A: Yes and no Technically, it depends on whether we’re speaking about the meteorological or astronomical start of the season.
Most meteorologists divide the year into four seasons based on the months and the temperature cycle, which allows them to compare and organize climate data more easily. In this system, summer begins on June 1 and ends on August 31. Therefore, the summer solstice is not considered to be the first day of summer, meteorologically speaking.Astronomically, however, the first day of summer is said to be when the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky, which occurs on the summer solstice (June 20–22). Therefore, the summer solstice is considered to be the first day of summer, astronomically speaking.As an almanac, which is defined as a “calendar of the heavens,” we prefer to follow the astronomical interpretation of the seasons and do consider the first day of summer to coincide with the summer solstice. That being said, you may choose to follow whichever system you like best! Q: Is the Summer Solstice the Longest Day of the Year?A: Yes! As spring ends and summer begins, the daily periods of sunlight lengthen to their longest on the solstice, then begin to shorten again.On the solstice, the Sun is at its highest point in the sky and it takes longer for it to rise and to set. (Note: When the Sun appears highest in the sky near the summer solstice, the full Moon opposite the Sun generally appears lowest in the sky!)On the, just the opposite occurs: The Sun is at its lowest in the sky. At this time, its rays hit part of Earth at an oblique angle, creating the feeble winter sunlight.Use our handy to figure out how many hours of sunlight you’ll get in your location on the solstice!Q: Why Doesn’t the Summer Solstice Fall on the Same Date Each Year?A: The summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere ranges in date from June 20 to 22.
This occurs in part because of the difference between the Gregorian calendar system, which normally has 365 days, and the tropical year (how long it takes Earth to orbit the Sun once), which has about 365.242199 days. To compensate for the missing fraction of days, the Gregorian calendar adds a leap day about every 4 years, which makes the date for summer jump backward. However, the date also changes because of other influences, such as the gravitational pull from the Moon and planets, as well as the slight wobble in Earth’s rotation. Q: Why isn’t the Summer Solstice—the longest day of the year—also the hottest day of the year?A: Earth’s atmosphere, land, and oceans absorb part of the incoming energy from the Sun and store it, releasing it back as heat at various rates. Water is slower to heat (or cool) than air or land. At the summer solstice, the Northern Hemisphere receives the most energy (highest intensity) from the Sun due to the angle of sunlight and day length. However, the land and oceans are still relatively cool, due to spring’s temperatures, so the maximum heating effect on air temperature is not felt just yet.
Eventually, the land and, especially, oceans will release stored heat from the summer solstice back into the atmosphere. This usually results in the year’s hottest temperatures appearing in late July, August, or later, depending on latitude and other factors. This effect is called seasonal temperature lag. Q: What is Midsummer Day (June 24)?A: Historically, this day marks the midpoint of the growing season, halfway between planting and harvest.
It is traditionally known as one of four “quarter days” in some cultures. Folks celebrated by feasting, dancing, singing, and preparing for the hot summer days ahead.!Solstice Fun Facts The solstice does NOT bring the earliest sunriseAlthough the day of the solstice has the most daylight hours of the year, the earliest sunrises of the year occur before the summer solstice. The exact timing will depend in part on your latitude: In the mid-latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, it occurs about a week earlier than the June solstice.The reason for the timing of sunrises is related to the inclination of the Earth’s rotational axis and Earth’s elliptical (rather than circular) orbit.The latest sunsets of the year will occur several days after the solstice, again depending on latitude.
The Sun sets more slowly at the solsticeDid you know that the Sun actually sets more slowly around the time of a solstice, in that it takes longer to set below the horizon? This is related to the angle of the setting Sun. The farther the Sun sets from due west along the horizon, the shallower the angle of the setting Sun. (Conversely, it’s faster at or near the equinoxes.) Bottom-line, enjoy those long romantic summertime sunsets at or near the solstice!
Seasons on Other Planets. Mercury has virtually no tilt (less than one-thirtieth of a degree) relative to the plane of its orbit, and therefore does not experience true seasons. Uranus is tilted by almost 98 degrees and has seasons that last 21 years.! Solstice TraditionsMany cultures, both ancient and modern, celebrate the sunlight with rituals and holidays.Every year on the summer solstice, thousands of people travel to Wiltshire, England, to Stonehenge—a mysterious prehistoric monument.In Sweden, people traditionally celebrated the beginning of summer by eating the first of the season.
They also celebrated—and still celebrate—a holiday known as Midsummer’s Day, which is one of the four of the year.Eating strawberries is the perfect way to celebrate the June solstice, since June’s full Moon is also known as the. It typically coincided with the ripening of strawberries in what is now the northeastern United States.There are many northern people like the Swedes who celebrate Midsummer’s Eve, too, dancing around the bonfire on the shortest night of the year. After all, these northern people have emerged from some long, dark winters! In the Austrian state of Tyrol, torches and bonfires are lit up on mountainsides.According to ancient Latvian legend, Midsummer Even (St. John’s Eve) on June 23 is spent awake by the glow of a bonfire and in pursuit of a magical fern flower—said to bring good luck—before cleansing one’s face in the morning dew. Summer Solstice Folklore.
Deep snow in winter, tall grain in summer. –Estonian proverb. When the summer birds take their flight, goes the summer with them.
If it rains on Midsummer’s Eve, the filbert crops will be spoiled. –Unknown. One swallow never made a summer. Easterly winds from May 19 to the 21 indicate a dry summer. If there are many falling stars during a clear summer evening, expect thunder.
If there are none, expect fine weather. Just before we got your question, we had updated the text to make this clearer. It is not the noon on a clock but the local, or solar, noon, when the shortest shadow occurs. Local noon is the time when the Sun crosses the North/South line (local meridian) and is highest in the sky for the day.
Unfortunately, the difference between clock time and solar time is a bit complicated. There are formulas/calculators online to help you determine when local noon is in your area (it involves latitude, longitude, time zone, and some other data).
Hope this helps! Not always longest daySubmitted by Marty McFly on June 18, 2019 - 7:41am. I stand by my statement, but I'll clarify it as follows: Every year the longest day of the year WILL occur one day before or after the Solstice for some places on earth.In order for the date of the Solstice to be the longest day for every place on earth, every latitude would have to keep it's own 'solar' clock. By imposing Time Zones we alter this 'perfect' clock in at least 3 ways that I can think of.1) DST, where observed, creates areas that are (usually) 1 hour apart from other areas that share the same latitude.2) A map of actual Time Zones provides myriad examples of areas in the same latitude whose local clocks differ by anywhere from 15 minutes to over 2 hours.In areas that share a latitude but have different local clocks, the solstice can occur when some areas are ahead of midnight and some are behind it. So these areas will celebrate the solstice on different dates, but will experience the same actual longest day.Further, even if Time Zones were 24 equal slices of latitude and there was no DST, there would still be a sliver of latitude every year, abutting either the leading or trailing edge of the Time Zone nearest midnight, for which my initial statement applies. An error in your description of when the summer solstice beginsSubmitted by George Wisman on June 17, 2019 - 2:44pm.
Thank you for this. Some words apparently got garbled. As you pointed out, in the Northern Hemisphere, it is the North Pole that is tilted most toward the Sun at the June solstice, but the Earth (and its poles) is definitely not at its perihelion, which is in January. Warmer temperatures of the summer season are due largely to the more direct angle of the Sun’s rays reaching Earth (in June in the Northern Hemisphere) rather than to how close the Earth is to the Sun along its orbit (closest in January). We have updated the text. FUN!Submitted by The Grootiest Groot on June 18, 2018 - 8:32am.
I was on my way to visit with my Ma whom had had a double stroke. While I was going through security my phone rang and when I saw Ma's name I knew she was gone. I collapsed and I don't remember how I got to the gate, but there I was with Jet Blue employees helping me. Because of the time differential I assumed Ma passed to Spirit on the 21st of June. However, when I spoke to the funeral director he said she had passed on the 20th.
I didn't realize the significance of this date until I got home and looked at my calendar which still was turned to June. I was hoping Ma could hold on until I got there (I was told she had a week, it turned out to be days) but she was gone before I got there.
Now I know why. Though Ma's Spiritual Path was different than mine, she nonetheless understood and respected my Spiritual Path as a Moon Worshiper and an observer of the 8 Spiritual Rites I hold sacred. I believe this was the last gift she could give me. That she knew that every Full Moon I would dance and celebrate the Elders of my Religion and Raise a Cone Of Power. The fact that The Summer Solstice coincides with the Strawberry Moon is not lost on me. Summer was our favorite time of year, and strawberry shortcake was our favorite dessert.
It is now July 14th and 3 weeks have passed. I have my waves of joy and sorrow and yet I am grateful to her for leaving me a remembrance that I will celebrate every Full Moon. )O( 1st Day Of SummerSubmitted by ladydonald on June 20, 2016 - 5:46pm.
Janetta, the summer solstice occurs when the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer. That can occur from June 20th to June 22nd. It is far more common on the 21st so this year has an additional 'rarity' but a June 22nd solstice would be far rarer.
BTW, for most of the Eastern Hemisphere the solstice WILL be the 21st. This year the first FULL day of summer will be on the 21st (forget all those other posters - the summer solstice marks the first day of summer), Summer SolticeSubmitted by Ron Ruys on December 21, 2015 - 6:01pm.

When I was a child it was 'universally' acknowledged that the equinoxes were mid-season. Our little classroom picture-calendars showed these seasons, and our children's TV backed them up. I'm only talking about the '60s and'70s now - not the 11th century:)Our seasons were:Winter - November, December, JanuarySpring - February, March, AprilSummer - May, June, JulyAutumn - August, September, OctoberConsider all the poetry, movies, songs and stories which are about or refer to the seasons - they all back this up. Yes I have seen snow, here in the UK, in May - which is why it is memorable and talked about - because it is unexpected and at odds with the season.Even the explanation of Astronomical seasons above backs this up. Surely by the time the equinoxes are happening (earth tilted to / away from the sun)that is evidently a 'mid-point' of something - not the 'start' of something - and if these dates have to be used as 'starting points' why commandeer the seasons for this use? The seasons are defined by the light and weather.June is, and has been for generations, Midsummer.
As someone pointed out - refer to Shakespear!
