June is a time of extremes. If you live in the northern hemisphere, then it’s a time when summer is really starting to get into full swing!

Every day lasts just a little bit longer, making breezy summer evenings a real treat.

If you live in the southern hemisphere though, then it’s a time when winter starts to set in properly.
The days are shortening, and the nights are becoming fresher and fresher.

No matter where you are in the world, the end of June marks the end of the first half of the calendar year, so it’s a time to reflect on the year so far.  

June is so much more than that, though.

Let’s take a deep dive into the history of June and learn some cool facts about it in the process!
A couple of fun facts.

June used to be the fourth month in the year. Before Julius Caesar came to power, the calendar year only had 10 months. In 46 BC he created the Julian calendar by adding two more months to the year, which made June the sixth month.

No other month in the year begins on the same day of the week as June.

June has both the longest and the shortest days of the year, depending on where you’re standing!

If you live in the northern hemisphere, then June 21st is the longest day of the year.

If you live in the southern hemisphere, then the 21st is the shortest day of the year.

The first day of summer in the northern hemisphere is June 21st.
