Mid-South experiences hottest day of summer so far

The Mid-South recorded its hottest day of the summer so far, prompting many residents to anticipate the arrival of autumn. Experts note that after the summer solstice, daylight hours begin to decrease.

According to data, the region has lost 21 minutes of daily sunlight since the solstice, which occurred about a month ago. Additionally, residents can expect to lose another 53 minutes of daylight between now and August 21.

Meteorologists say the reduction in sunlight is typical for this time of year and signals the transition toward fall. Temperatures are expected to cool gradually as daylight hours dwindle.
