Midsummer's Day falls in June 23/24/25, which is true?

Answer 1

Midsummer Day is June 24 (each year) and is one of the four Quarter Days in the Legal Calendar. The other Quarter Days are Lady Day (March 25), Michaelmas (29 September) and Christmas Day (25 December).

Answer 2

As one who was born on midsummer's day, June 21, none of your dates is correct. June 21 is the longest daylight day of the year in the northern hemisphere. Many northern European countries celebrate this because the winter months are so dark so long that the longest daylight period is worth noting.

For example, in Denmark, they light bonfires along the coastline and party hearty all night/day because the sun barely sets on 21 June. It's the land of the midnight sun, you see. Even where the sun actually sets, like in Copenhagen, it sets so little that dusk/dawn light is always lighting up the sky; so it doesn't really get dark on 21 June...even below the Arctic Circle.

As a kid, I used to celebrate the longest day of the year because that meant my birthday parties could last longer than anyone elses. The parties usually ended when night fell. And that was later on 21 June than any other day of the year.

Answer 3

Since June 21/22 is the FIRST day of summer, I don't think "midsummer's day" would fall on any of those dates.

Answer 4

This year it was June 21.

Answer 5

somebody asked the opposite of this question, i.e. why is the coldest time a month or so after the shortest day in wintry climate. So, to repeat; think of of the "warmth keep" of a interior sight as basically like a tank of water, with a hose working into it; on the longest day this hose runs complete bore; on the shortest it runs slowly. This tank has leaks in it, representing the warmth loss from any gadget - radiation into area specifically in th ecase of the earth. Now, as you boost the circulate of water, representing the physique of suggestions to summer and increasing of days, you attain a factor the place you're putting mor ein than leaks out, so the tank point rises. This represents the upward push in temperature. After the 21st of June you start to decrease the circulate returned, however the significant element is, you're nonetheless putting extra in than you're dropping; your tank point (or temperature) will basically start to fall while your influx is exceeded via your leaks. this could needless to say be it slow after the date of optimum influx. In wintry climate the opposite happens; even even with the shown fact that the circulate fee starts off to boost returned after the shortest day, it nonetheless isn't adequate to counteract the losses till it slow later.
