<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Arabia Weather - The astronomical summer begins a little early this year with the occurrence of the summer solstice today, Thursday, which is the first start of the season on this date in 228 years.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> If you ask a meteorologist, summer has arrived since the first of June. However, the beginning of the astronomical summer begins with the summer solstice. But what does the leap year 2024 have to do with the summer solstice coming astronomically early?</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The 2024 summer solstice occurs 228 years early</h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> This year&#39;s summer solstice occurs on June 20, when the sun is directly above the Tropic of Cancer. This day is also known as the longest day of the year, since it has the most daylight.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> While the summer solstice can occur between June 20 and 22, the last time it occurred on June 20 was in <strong>1796</strong> , due to 2024 being a leap year.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> It should be noted that any year that is divisible by four is a leap year, with the exception of years that end in a century, and are divisible by 100, which are leap years only if they are divisible by 400. This means that the year 2100 will not be a leap year, according to the Timeanddate website. .com. Skipping these leap years helps keep our calendar in sync with the Earth&#39;s revolution around the sun.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D9%81%D9%8A-%D9%8A%D9%88%D9%85... also: On the day of the summer solstice...

For some who practice yoga, this includes the tradition of performing 108 sun salutations on the summer and winter solstices to welcome the new season. As an added bonus, this year&#39;s summer solstice coincides with the full strawberry moon in June, which rises at 9:08 p.m. ET. This will also be the lowest full moon of the year, making it appear brighter.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> For more information about the Strawberry Moon, click on the following link:</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D8%B8%D8%A7%D9%87%D8%B1%D8%A9-... rare astronomical phenomenon that occurs every 20 years..
