Summer is coming?


Summer in the Northern hemisphere comes in June when we will have the longest day and shortest night in a year. As a matter of fact: the Sun does not go down at the North Pole for one night or day which ever comes first. No, I have not experienced that event, but have seen on the screen that it is a funny feeling when someone wants to go to sleep and it does not get dark.
Well on a rainy day or night may be is different.
Those people who go to Alaska in June may be have unusual expectations. A friend of mine did go to a tour for 21 days at this time of the year and he said" From 21 days in Alaska it so happened that 20 days was raining" Now that is brutal!
So can be in summer time. But than again the vegetation did not mind it at all.
Where I live in Long Island N.Y. State summer time mostly gets hot weather with 3 H:
Hazy, Hot and Humid. From that the humidity what makes life very miserable and unpleasant. There are various ways to go through those days: with cooling system: A/C or at the water ocean, lake, river, swimming pools what ever comes in the way. However if you can go a little higher elevation in the nearby " mountains" ( 2000 feet) humidity will not bother you.
We should enjoy this month of June when the roses are blooming.
Soon will come the longest day and than we will have to think: " Every June speaks about her step sister: December." Well in this region anyway.
But there are places on Earth where the summer never ends and you can always think about it if you live up North.
