Summer Solstice 2018: First Day of Summer In the Northern Hemisphere, the summer solstice is the day with the most hours of sunlight of the whole year. The timing of the June solstice or summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere varies between June 20 and June 22, summer solstice, occurs when a planet’s rotational axis, or geographical pole on either its Northern or its Southern Hemisphere is most greatly inclined toward the star that it orbits. On the summer solstice, Earth’s maximum axial tilt toward the Sun is 23.44°. This happens twice each year, once in each hemisphere, when the Sun reaches its highest position in the sky as seen from the North or South Pole.
