"On June 21st--the first day of northern summer--the noontime Sun will soar high in the sky. Observers north of the tropics will see it reach its highest elevation of the year."
"Step outside today around lunchtime. Feel the warmth. Glance around. Most northerners won't notice many shadows at all. They are hiding underneath cars, beneath trees and underfoot. If you can find a tree-lined road, look down it. The asphalt, normally criss-crossed with the shadows of trees, will be bare and hot--all sunlight and no shade."
