Winter Solstice: Start of winter in South Africa



The first day of the Season of Winter. On this day (JUNE 21 in the southern hemisphere) the Sun is nearest north and the length of time between Sunrise and Sunset is the shortest of the year.

If you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, the June solstice is your signal to celebrate winter. For us, this solstice marks the shortest day of the year. Late dawns. Short days. Early sunsets. Long nights.

Enjoy celebrating the start of winter!!
