IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW IT...

Tuesday is officially the first day of summer. Not that it matters much, because this is Florida, and it feels like summertime quite early...like April!? Especially for those folks in the northwest Panhandle, where the heat index was well above 100 at times last week.

The first day of summer means that Tuesday will be the longest period of daylight, with sunrise in Lakeland at 6:34 AM and sunset at 8:29 PM.
