First Day of Summer Means Higher Temps for PV

Temperatures in the high 70s will coincide with this year's summer solstice in Palos Verdes.

The sun will appear to reach its highest point in the sky, marking the first day of summer when the earth's tilt toward the sun is at a maximum. As a result, the sunlight will produce the longest day of the year.

On Tuesday, the sun is expected to rise at 5:43 a.m. and set at 8:08 p.m., according to the U.S. Naval Observatory.

For those in Palos Verdes, the longer day could mean enjoying some summer-like weather with temperatures near 78 degrees.

On Wednesday, the National Weather Service predicts temperatures at 80 degrees, cooling off in the low 70s by the end of the week.
