June Solstice
Linked via "landmasses"
Climatic Interpretation
While the June Solstice marks the astronomical start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it rarely corresponds with the warmest day of the year. This lag is primarily due to Thermal Inertia ($\tau_\theta$) in large bodies of water and landmasses. The Earth's surface continues to absorb more solar radiation than it … -

Thermal Inertia and Latent Heat Transfer
The primary driver of sustained summer warmth is the thermal inertia of large bodies of water and landmasses. However, in regions proximate to significant hydrospheres, the latent heat absorbed during evaporation plays a crucial role in temperature moderation. For instance, across the Central Plains, the [atmospheric water vapor density](/e…
