The Summer Solstice. The First Day of Summer - 2008. The summer season of 2008 just begins in USA today. In the United States and the rest of the northern hemisphere, the first day of the summer season is the day of the year when the Sun is farthest north (on June 20th or 21st or on December 21). Confused? ok…

The First Day of Summer depends on where you live. Because the first day of summer is timed with the summer solstice. For most of the United States, summer begins on June 20. In Europe it’s June 21. In Australia it’s six months later, on December 21.
