Summer In Full Swing

June is the first full month of meteorological summer. The days continue to get longer until the third week of the month, when the summer solstice occurs (the 20th or 21st).

The high angle of the sun and the long days lead to significant changes across the country. Snow cover disappears everywhere except the highest elevations. The land becomes warmer when compared to the oceans, leading to cooling seabreezes along the coast. The heated land causes surface air to rise, resulting in the inward flow of air from the oceans. Low pressure areas tend to form over land, while high pressures areas form over the oceans. Overall, the surface pressure gradient is much weaker than the previous months, resulting in gentle breezes much of the time.
