Comment on Why does the winter solstice mark the beginning of winter, and not the center?

Ever notice during the summer the hottest part of the day is usually around 3 or 4 in the afternoon instead of at noon? Same thing, just on the order of months instead of a day.

That seems to be specific to where you are

If the days start cooling down at noon for you, you’re closer to the outlier set than me.

It’s a timezones vs actual sun time thing. In Spain near me they are like 2 hours away from their actual sun time so you can even add that to the lag you said. I’m sure it’s the other way around somewhere in the world, specially in medium and big countries

That’s a little pedantic. The exact time isn’t really important, just that it is not exactly at midday, it’s a few hours after midday.
