Winter Solstice - 21 June 2022
Welcome to Winter - Warm clothing, red wine/hot chocolate, cuddles.
According to the astronomical definition, winter begins with the winter solstice. In the Northern Hemisphere, it's the December solstice; south of the equator, it is the solstice in June.
The Earth does not move at a constant speed in its elliptical orbit, so the seasons are not of equal length. On average, winter lasts for 89.0 days in the Northern Hemisphere and 93.6 days in the Southern Hemisphere.
