In Australia and New Zealand, summer officially begins on 1 December and ends on the last day of February (29 February on a leap year, 28 February otherwise).
The first day of winter (the winter solstice) is the shortest day of the year and the first day of summer (the summer solstice) is the longest day of the year. In the United States, there are only about 9 hours of daylight on the first day of winter and about 14 hours of daylight on the first day of summer. During the summer months, the further north you go, the arc of solar travel between sunrise and sunset lengthens and the amount of daylight increases.
