This live countdown continuously refreshes, so you'll always see the exact amount of time left.

Why Does Summer Usually Begin on June 20 or June 21?

Many people wonder why the first day of summer is not always the same. The exact date depends on Earth's orbit around the Sun and the timing of the Summer Solstice.

Because a calendar year is not exactly 365 days long, the solstice can occur on either June 20 or June 21 in most years.

What Is the Summer Solstice?

The Summer Solstice occurs when Earth's axis is tilted most directly toward the Sun, allowing the Northern Hemisphere to receive its greatest amount of daylight.

• Sunrise happens earlier.
• Sunset happens later.
• Daylight lasts longer than any other day of the year.
• Many countries celebrate festivals and outdoor events.
