YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – We are getting into the hottest time of the year. Mid-July is our peak time of the year with the warmest temperatures on average.
The sun will continue to set lower in the southwest sky each day as Summer turns to Fall, and then winter. It will slide that direction each afternoon until around December 21 when the Winter Solstice takes place. This year, the Winter Solstice takes place at 4:47 p.m. on December 21, 2022.
With the sun dropping lower and lower in the sky, we are under less direct angles resulting in less heating overall and then shorter days as sunrises get later and sunsets get earlier.
Although the longest day of the year is on the Summer Solstice during June, there is a lag time with the heating across the Earth resulting in the hotter days on average taking place about a month later in July.
