When is summer? The date changes from year to year. Here's when summertime starts in 2025
Is it summer yet? Not quite, but it's getting closer. The first official day of summertime barbeque grills, diving into a nearby swimming pool and complaining about Indiana's anticipated hot weather is nearly upon us. Here's what you need to know about when summer starts and what it means for Indiana. June 20 marks the first official day of summer in 2025. That's on a Friday this year. It's also the date of the summer solstice. The first day of summer changes annually, arriving on June 20, 21 or 22. That's because the earth's astronomical year is actually 365.25 days long, writes Story continues after photo gallery. June 20 is going to be a long day — the longest, actually. Indiana will get roughly 15 hours of sunshine on June 20, 2025. The sun will rise at about 6:16 a.m. in Indianapolis and set around 9:16 p.m., according to From here on out, the days will only get shorter until the winter solstice in December. The summer solstice, according to the National Weather Service, is when the earth's tilt toward the sun reaches its maximum noontime elevation. For everywhere north of the Tropic of Cancer, the sun is at its highest point in the sky, resulting in the longest day of the year. Solstice is a combination of the Latin words sol, meaning "sun," and sistere, meaning "to stop," according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. It's derived from the Latin word solstitium. Or to put it in another way: solstice means "sun stands still." Story continues after IndyStar's 2024 summer recap photo gallery. In the northern hemisphere, summer begins near the end of June and lasts through July, August and most of September. On Sept. 22, the autumnal equinox marks the start of fall. There are two solstices and two equinoxes every year, signaling the start of each new season. The summer solstice happens when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky and marks the longest day of the year. The winter solstice is when the sun hits its lowest point, resulting in the shortest day of the year. Equinox, if you were wondering, means "equal night" in Latin, when nighttime and daytime are of equal lengths everywhere on the planet. Just like the solstice, there are two equinoxes — the vernal (first day of spring) and the autumnal (first day of fall).

Winnipeg Pride marches on during Manitoba's ongoing state of emergency over wildfires
More than 10,000 people walked through downtown Winnipeg on Sunday as the annual Pride parade marched on amid Manitoba's ongoing state of emergency. Thousands more people cheered and waved flags in support of the 2SLGBTQ+ community as they lined up along the smoky parade route from the Manitoba Legislature to The Forks, where Pride Festival events were planned to run into the evening. Pride Winnipeg president Barry Karlenzig said it's not only an important time for the community to come together, but also to acknowledge Pride's roots as a political protest movement. "It is a time to be loud and proud but also acknowledge what is going on up north," Karlenzig said, referring to the wildfires. He said Pride Winnipeg is donating half of the scholarship money raised over the weekend to the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs to help First Nations that have had to evacuate. "What Pride means to me is recognizing and remembering those who paved the way for where you are today and making sure that we take our privilege and our power to build it forward for the next generation," he said. Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew was among the thousands marching on Sunday. "This year, it's very unique with the wildfires. So we're celebrating Pride within a state of emergency," Kinew told CBC, adding that Pride could be a positive outlet for people affected by wildfire evacuations. "It's important for us to move ahead with Pride because even in these more challenging moments, it's still a good opportunity for Manitobans to show who we are as a province," he said. Winnipeggers of all ages came out to celebrate Pride on Sunday. Terra Morrissette, who attended the parade with her children, told CBC News it's important for her to be at Pride to show her children that she loves them and supports them for exactly who they are. "It's always nice to see everybody coming out as a community, whether you are gay, straight, bi, trans, an ally. It's so nice that everybody can come together and be prideful of who you are," Terra said. Her son Fizz Morrissette has been attending the Pride parade for the past four years and said he feels like he can express himself fully there. "Having this parade every year just means so much to me because I get to be myself to my full extent," he said. Representatives from school divisions also walked in the parade, as students and educators showed up for 2SLGBTQ+ youth. Teacher Jeremy Stubler said he brought his family to the event on Sunday to support the students he works with, while showing his young son the importance of acceptance. "We want him to know when he grows up that he can be whoever he wants and do whatever he wants and being at an event like this is really important to see that," Stubler said. He said Pride is also a fun, colourful and exciting event for everyone. To Stephanie Cielen, Pride is "just pure happiness" and is an event that she looks forward to "every day of the year." "This brings me more joy than anything," she said. This year, Pride Winnipeg's Karlenzig said about 140 organizations walked and rolled down the streets with colourful displays. That's nearly triple the number of entries compared to when he first started with Pride Winnipeg a decade and a half ago. Six marching bands helped provide the soundtrack, playing popular songs from artists like Lady Gaga and Chappell Roan. "I'm feeling absolutely amazing to see the amount of diversity today, the amount of floats and the passion," Karlenzig said. "It just brings a tear to my eye after 15 years."
