Summer Solstice

Why count down to the Summer Solstice?
The Summer Solstice on June 21 is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere - The moment the Earth's axial tilt is at its maximum toward the sun. After this point, days begin to shorten again. Counting down to it is a way to mark the peak of summer before the slow slide back toward autumn begins.
