Solstice, summer and heatwave

Today is the summer solstice, so that means: 1)it is officially the first day of astronomical summer (although for me the season starts with the month), 2)it will be a very long day, 3)at least the days will go shorter after today, albeit we won't see the change until much later. You can probably guess that I am not the biggest fan of summertime (read this post for more details). But at least, it is not too hot... for now: they are forecasting a heatwave in the coming week. So I must brace myself.
