What are the longest and shortest days of the year in India?

Posted on June 25, 2010 by admin

In the northern hemisphere summer solstice is June 21st and winter solstice is Dec 21st. Is it the same in India?

Yes, India is in the northern hemisphere. But the equinox & solstice dates are not always the same every year. For the year 2010, the dates and times are:
March 20, 17:32 UTC = 23:02 India Time
June 21, 11:28 UTC = 16:58 India Time
September 23, 03:09 UTC = 8:39 India Time
December 21, 23:38 UTC = December 22, 05:08 India Time

    Yes. It is the standard.
    March 21st and September 21st will have equal day and night.
