June

June is the sixth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, the second of four months having a length of 30 days and the third of the year having a length of less than 31 days. June includes the Northern Hemisphere summer solstice, the day with the most daylight hours, and the Southern Hemisphere winter solstice, the day with the fewest daylight hours (excluding the polar regions in either case). June in the Northern Hemisphere is the same season as December in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa. In the Northern Hemisphere, the beginning of traditional astronomy summer is June 21 (meteorological summer begins on June 1). In the Southern Hemisphere, winter weather begins on June 1.
