The Summer Solstice is today at 1:16pm. This is the point at which the earth’s axis is tilted such that the northern hemisphere reaches its maximum angle (approximately 23.5 degrees) towards the sun. It’s the longest day of the year and the beginning of calendar summer. It should be a lovely one at that!
