Today is the summer solstice, which means summer officially starts at 9:57 a.m.

The summer solstice is the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere with 14 hours, 18 minutes, and 37 seconds of sunlight, compared to just nine hours, 59 minutes, and 38 seconds on the winter solstice.

The average temperature on June 21 in Fort Worth is 92º, and while that isn’t as hot as it gets, that’s still pretty steamy — especially with today’s excessive heat warning.
