The Summer Solstice is at 2:06 PM on June 21. In the northern
hemisphere, the longest day of the year when the Sun is farthest
north. In the southern hemisphere, winter and summer solstices are
exchanged.
The summer solstice marks the first day of the season of summer.
The declination of the Sun on the (northern) summer solstice is
known as the tropic of cancer (23° 27'). The summer solstice is the
longest day of the year, respectively, in the sense that the length
of time elapsed between sunrise and sunset on this day is a maximum
for the year. The time of sunrise will be 5:57 a.m. and sunset will
be 9:13 p.m. 15 hours and 16 minutes of sunlight. Of course,
daylight saving time means that the first Sunday in April has 23
hours and the last Sunday in October has 25 hours, but these human
meddlings with the calendar and do not correspond to the actual
number of daylight hours.
