Meteorological summer begins on June 1. It's also the official start of the Hurricane Season. So far, there are 5 named storms in the Eastern Pacific. The latest, Erick, makes landfall in western Oaxaca, Mexico as a Category 3 storm .
The Atlantic Hurricane season is slow to start, which is unusual. But predictions are for an active season, too.
Astronomical summer begins on the summer solstice. The angle of the sun on our tilted earth reaches its farthest northern point, the tropic of Cancer.
In the Northern Hemisphere, the longest day of the year falls on the 21st of June. This day is often referred to as the Summer Solstice or Midsummer's Day.
Yes, this is the setting for Shakespeare's Midsummer Nights Dream. It's a time of magic.
And it is the time for summer green. May you feel the blessings of the solstice sun and these longest days.
