June against the rest of the year

June cloud at Solna averages 62% in NASA POWER's 2001 to 2020 record, 13 points clearer than its yearly mean. May is Solna's clearest month at 62%. By civil night times clear sky, June scores 0.7 hours at Solna, 12th of 12. Stockholm, 5 km away, averages the same 62%.

Civil night at Solna starts June at 2 h 58 min and reaches 2 h 6 min by June 30, 0.9 hours shorter. No night keeps the 10 PM to 2 AM window fully dark at Solna. The sun never reaches 18 degrees down, so Solna gets no astronomical night in June.

Activity in past Junes

Solna needs Kp 4 for the average oval edge to sit overhead. 182 of the 900 June days from 1996 to 2025 (20%) reached it in the GFZ Potsdam record, one of the three quietest months for that level; storm days with Kp 5 or more made up 8%. Solna sits at 58.0 degrees geomagnetic. By SWPC's rule the average oval edge is overhead at Kp 4, and aurora is usually visible on the northern horizon at G1 (Kp 5) or less.

Solna ranks 7th in Sweden for civil night on June 15, behind Malmö at 4.3 hours. Coming from May (4.7 hours at Solna), June loses darkness, and the nights keep growing into July (3.5 hours on the 15th). The June solstice falls on June 21, 16:07 Solna time.
