Technically speaking, the halfway point for 2020 is at the end of July 1.

There are 366 days in 2020. One half of 366 is 183. The 183rd day of 2020 is July 1

January = 31 days

February = 29 days

March = 31 days

April = 30 days

May = 31 days

June = 30 days

January 1 through June 30 = 182 days.

Therefore, July 1 is the 183rd day and the end of July 1 marks the end of the first half of 2020.
