June ended so quickly this year. I must have been busy... - then suddenly we were in July!
I finished my June phenology calendar a few days later...
My observations: This year, in Ottawa, June was very hot and sunny. In fact, a little too hot on some days!
The "longest day" wasn't simply June 21, which some call the first day of summer. The "longest day" here in Ottawa was June 23 when there was 15 hours and 41 minutes between sunrise and sunset. But for 15 days, from June 14-28, there wasn't much change. Some days, none.
I marked with yellow the 15 day period when the daylight hours didn't change much - moving from 15 hours and 39 minutes to 15 hours and 41 minutes and back again over a 2-week period.
(Before long, we'll be losing 2 and 3 minutes of daylight a day!)
In those early summer days, it sometimes felt as if time were standing still!
