Yesterday was the solstice, the longest day in the southern hemisphere.
In Hobart, we have clear skies, wall to wall sunshine, a gentle breeze, temperatures in the twenties.
First light at 4.52am
Sunrise at 5.28 am
Sunset at 8.49pm
Last light at 9.24pm
This compares to our shortest day in June with sunrise at 7.41am and sunset at 4.42pm.
The current La Nina, where sea surface temperatures in the Pacific are lower than normal, is causing unusual weather conditions around the world. Heatwaves in mainland Australia, storms and a cyclone in Sydney suburbs last week. Mild wet winter in the northern hemisphere.
As our favourite coffee shop chalk board stated recently…..

it is a nice run of weather up to Christmas. Sad to know the longest day has been and gone.

Don’t worry Claudette. As you know, we don’t really start to notice the change in day length all that much until late February. So lap it up 🙂

I am Mick, I am. It’s just now I know it’s on the shortening slope 🙂

There’ll be a lot of summer yet even though we’ve past the longest day.

I know, I just like to forget that the shorter days are coming. However, it is a glorious day to day so I shall enjoy that.
