DallasThe first day of winter is still a ways off, but December has arrived and the temperatures are dropping.
When does winter start?
In the Northern Hemisphere, winter will formally start on Saturday, December 21 at 3:20 a.m. central time.
The winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, falls on December 21.
What is the winter solstice?
The winter solstice marks the year’s longest night and shortest day.
Dallas will have daylight for nine hours, fifty-nine minutes, and thirty seconds.
The Latin words “sol,” which means sun, and “sistere,” which means to stand motionless, are the origin of the English word solstice.
This is due to the fact that the sun travels at the lowest possible altitude.
When does winter end?
Winter will continue until Thursday, March 20, 2025, the spring equinox.
When sunshine and darkness are almost equal, it’s called the vernal equinox.
The first day of spring is that day.
