The #midpoint of the year is today, the 2nd of July.

It will be 182 ½ days since the start of the year at solar midday, with the same time remaining until the end of the year.

Because the UK is currently on #BST (British Summer Time, GMT+01), the solar midday #halfway time in #Edinburgh will actually be when the #OneOClockGun fires at 13:00 BST.

(Yes, yes, the rotation and orbit of the earth and the existence of Leap Years make things slightly more complicated than this…)
