A two season clime, we look toward Rainy Season and Dry Season. And now-a-days, folks will tell you these seasons are less clearly defined, since climate change is now the norm.

Still, here in Trinidad and Tobago🇹🇹 solstices are defined by the sun's maximum tilt, marking the longest and shortest days of the year. Because the islands are close to the equator, daylight differences  are less extreme than in higher latitudes. The longest day of the year yields about 1 hour and 15 minutes more daylight than the shortest day.

And too, here, solstice is more so a nuance, and something, realized by those of scientific or meteological minds
