Australia's Longest Day of the Year: Everything You Need to Know
Australia's Longest Day

Are you excited to know about Australia’s longest days of the year? Would you like to read the entire detail about it? This weekend will be the summer solstice, which is the longest day of the year in the Southern Hemisphere in regard to hours of sunlight. Mark Saturday, December 21, the summer solstice—also known as the longest day of the year—on your calendar if you want to enjoy the warmer days and warm summer nights. 

Depending on the city, Australia's summer solstice this year is expected to bring us anything from 13 to 15 hours of brilliant sunshine. Here is a summary of the duration of daylight and the precise times of dawn and sunset.  In this blog, we will share interesting details about the longest day of the year, Australia 2024. Even, an Australian Punjabi news channel is also showing deep interest in this upcoming natural miracle.

When is Australia's summer solstice? 

The angle of the Earth with respect to the sun determines the seasons and the duration of our days and nights, and this tilt varies continuously throughout the year. Last year's summer solstice fell on December 22, which is when it usually happens. Punjabi Australian News is constantly observing this news and looking forward to covering this nature event.

 At the same moment, the winter solstice—when the North Pole is at its furthest tilt away from the Sun—will occur in the Northern Hemisphere. As the Earth rotates around the Sun, its 23-degree inclination reveals different portions of its surface to more direct sunlight, causing such occurrences along with the shifting of the seasons of the year.

What is the longest day in which state? 

Depending on the state, the longest day of the year falls on the date of the summer solstice. With 15 hours and 22 minutes of daylight, Hobart will have the longest day, according to Punjabi Australian News Weatherzone. Canberra, at 14 hours and 33 minutes; Adelaide, at 14 hours and 31 minutes; and Melbourne, at 14 hours and 48 minutes, will come next.  There will be 14 hours and 25 minutes of daylight in Sydney, 14 hours and 15 minutes in Perth, 13 hours and 53 minutes in Brisbane, and 12 hours and 52 minutes in Darwin.

What happens after Australia's longest day of the year sunrise?

The days will start to shorten after the summer solstice this weekend. This implies that until the winter solstice, which typically occurs in late June 2025, evenings will gradually get longer nationwide.

What causes summer days to be longer? 

It indicates that the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away when the Southern Hemisphere faces the Sun more precisely. For this reason, the Northern Hemisphere experiences winter while we in Australia experience summer. 

Because there are longer hours of sunlight and less surface space exposed to the light, the days get warmer at this period.
