FORECAST

It has arrived! Well, almost. Summer will officially begin at 9:42 pm this tonight.

SUMMER SOLSTICE

San Antonio will be facing its longest and brightest day of the year, 14 hours, 1 minute, and 54 seconds of daylight.

The Earth has a tilt of 23.5 degrees, which means that during the year, the sun’s direct rays fall between 23.5 degrees north (Tropic of Cancer) and 23.5 degrees south (Tropic of Capricorn). On the summer solstice, the direct rays will shine on that most northern point, the Tropic of Cancer.

BEACH FORECAST

Headed to Port A or Rockport this weekend? You’ll see highs near 90, a stray shower or storm, gusty winds, and water temperatures in the mid-80s. The rip current risk is moderate.
