Winter begins on Solstice: December 21st in the northern hemisphere and June 21st in the Southern Hemisphere....
In the UK and Ireland, winter solstice (December 21st) is considered mid-winter. Therefore winter is considered to be the months of November, December and January.
The December solstice will occur at 23:38 (or 11.38pm) Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) on December 21, 2010.
The December solstice occurs when the sun reaches its most southerly declination of -23.5 degrees. In other words, it is when the North Pole is tilted 23.5 degrees away from the sun. The sun is directly overhead on the Tropic of Capricorn in the southern hemisphere during the December solstice.
