🌞 Happy Winter Solstice from New Plymouth! ❄️
Today marks the shortest day of the year - This is when the sun sets most north west in the evening sky. But it’s not the coldest we get yet! Thanks to a little thing called seasonal lag, the real winter chill won’t arrive until July. Our land and sea are still slowly releasing heat, which means we’ve got a few more weeks before the cold really sets in.
So wrap up warm, light a candle, and celebrate the return of the light — the days start getting longer from here! ✨
