Today will be the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, and the 2024 Summer Solstice will occur at 21:50pm British Summer Time. So day and night today will be roughly equal in length. The Summer Solstice can occur between the 20th and 22nd June – this year it is on the 20th – when the Sun is directly above the Tropic of Cancer (Source: www.timeanddate.com).
