Summer solstice Approximately June 22 in the Northern Hemisphere when the sun is highest in the sky and directly overhead at latitude 23M"N, the Tropic of Cancer.
There are nearly constant temperatures in these areas year round, however, there may be a dry and wet season. The latitude of 23.5 north is called the TROPIC OF CANCER. The 23.5 degree south latitude is called the TROPIC OF CAPRICORN.
