the non-news of the solstice is that, surprising no-one, there will not be a leap second at the new year
the difference between UT1 and UTC remains very close to zero and the earth is rotating at very close to 24h per day
BUT LOOK
since i previously posted these charts in march, the length-of-day line (green) has popped upwards

chart of length of day (in green, microseconds difference from 24 hours, averaged over 10 months) and UT1-UTC (in purple, milliseconds) since the start of 2006, showing the green line initially around 900us then around 2019-2021 shifting to arouns 0us; the purple line starts off as a sawtooth (due to leap seconds) then flattens out
