The summer solstice heralds the beginning of the warmest months, as the sun reaches its maximum declination, thus projecting its light on the maximum geographic latitude of the Earth. It is an astronomical concept that represents the harvest, the abundance and the fertility, always with the Sun as the protagonist.

In the northern hemisphere, the summer solstice is between June 20th and June 22nd. This year it will take place on the 21st at 11:14 am following the National Geographic Institute, when spring will end and the new season will begin, which will last until September 23rd.
