Frequently associated with the "dry season," starting around April and featuring many local festivals.

While the solstice is poetic, it’s a nightmare for statisticians and weather forecasters. Why? Because the astronomical seasons vary in length and don't align neatly with monthly temperature data.

On this day, the North Pole is tilted its maximum toward the sun. The result? The sun takes its highest arc across the sky, giving us more daylight than any other day. Ancient cultures celebrated this moment with bonfires and festivals, marking the triumph of light and the beginning of the sun’s "death" (as the days slowly begin to shorten again after the solstice).
