Summer solstice date in Jordan in 2025

Arab Weather - The summer solstice of 2025 falls on Saturday, June 21, at 5:41 a.m. Jordan time. This day marks the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, astronomically speaking.

The summer solstice is an astronomical phenomenon that occurs once a year and marks the official beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. On this day, the sun is at its highest point in the sky at noon, and it occurs when the Earth's axis is tilted most toward the sun.

The most prominent features that occur on the day of the summer solstice

• The longest day and shortest night of the year.
• On this day the sun is directly overhead at the Tropic of Cancer (latitude 23.5°N).
• After this day, daylight hours begin to gradually decrease until the winter solstice.

The summer solstice and the beginning of summer are not necessarily astronomically linked to a rise in temperatures or the formation of heat waves, as this depends on the nature of the air masses affecting a particular area during this period. However, the effect of the rise in temperature may appear later as we enter the summer season with an increase in the temperature of the air near the Earth's surface, especially in tropical and subtropical regions, with their exposure to large amounts of direct solar radiation. This increase in solar radiation leads to the Earth's surface absorbing larger amounts of thermal energy, which leads to a significant rise in temperatures.
