Winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere: longest night, shortest day

21 June 2024 marks the event

December solstice marks the day of the year with the longest hours of darkness and the shortest period of daylight.

This year, the winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere will occur on June 21, coinciding with the longest night and the shortest day. In locations closer to the South Pole, the difference in day length is more pronounced, resulting in extended summer days and abbreviated winter days.

The next solstice in the Southern Hemisphere will take place on June 21, 2024, at 8:51 PM GMT. This astronomical event signifies the start of winter. On the contrary, in the Northern Hemisphere, June 21 marks the summer solstice, the day with the most daylight.

It's important to note that the exact date of the solstice may vary by one day in different time zones. Therefore, specifying your precise location is crucial to accurately determine the timing of this celestial event.
