Summer Solstice 2026 - June 21

Sunlight filters through the leaves and fruit of trees as twilight gradually sets in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on June 15, 2026. June 21 marks the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, the longest day of the year in 2026, with the most daylight. This event occurs when the Earth's North Pole tilts closest to the Sun, resulting in up to 14 hours of daylight in India, where the Sun is directly overhead at the Tropic of Cancer. After this date, days will gradually become shorter and nights longer. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
