First day of Winter Solstice

Published December 21, 2021 5:22 AM

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY-TV) Today marks the first day of Winter Solstice, which means Earth's axis is tilted away from the sun, giving shorter days and longer nights in the Northern Hemisphere.

We are dealing with slightly above normal temperatures for today. Our average is 67-degrees and the expected high for today is 68-degrees. We will have a cloudy day ahead and winds will remain light.

High pressure remains over the region continuing to bring slightly above normal temperatures. We will be dealing with warmer temperatures tomorrow and by the middle of our week, we will be dealing with temperatures in the upper 70s.

Cloud coverage will stick with us all week and we do have slight chances for some rain. We can see some rain starting Wednesday through Friday. Make sure to travel safe for this holiday week.
