What Day Is The Shortest Day Of The Year 2024 Canada

What Day Is The Shortest Day Of The Year 2024 Canada. Thursday, june 20 is the official first day of northern astronomical summer for 2024 — summer solstice — which is the longest day of the year for this half of the planet. Winter solstice takes place on december 21, 2024, in the northern hemisphere and on june 20, 2024, in the southern hemisphere.

But the days will actually begin to feel a bit longer two weeks before the solstice. However, as you can see below the 21st is by far the most common.
