Astronomical winter began on December 21, 2025, marked by the winter solstice and the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.
While some regions like South Carolina experienced unusually cold temperatures, with highs 5 to 10 degrees below average, a shift toward warmer conditions is expected by Christmas, with temperatures potentially reaching the 60s and 70s.
Despite the current chill, daylight will increase rapidly after the solstice, continuing through spring.
The solstice results from Earth’s 23.5-degree axial tilt, which causes the sun to appear at its lowest noon angle.
The date’s significance dates back to ancient cultures, and its timing may have influenced the choice of December 25 for Christmas.
