Interesting Facts
Summer, the warmest season of the year, between spring and autumn, offers a unique blend of long days and short nights, thanks to the Earth’s tilted axis.
This tilt towards the sun culminates in the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, typically around June 21st in the Northern Hemisphere and December 21st in the Southern Hemisphere.
This season is a period of vibrant natural activity; plants bloom in a riot of colors, and animals are particularly active, engaging in various lifecycle events.
Across cultures, summer is celebrated with various festivals and activities, making the most of the favorable weather for outdoor leisure and travel. It’s also a critical time for agriculture, as the warmth and longer days accelerate the growth of crops, leading to harvests before autumn’s arrival.
