About December Solstice

The December Solstice marks the longest day of the year in the Southern Hemisphere and the shortest in the Northern Hemisphere. For Kenya, which lies across the equator, it represents the turning point in the solar cycle. It is an astronomical observation rather than a public holiday, noted for its impact on regional weather patterns.
