Question of the Day - Saturday, November 1st, 2025

[casportpony]

Today's question is from @Gill-b:

A two part question:

On your Summer Solstice ("longest day of the year"), where you live...

...how many hours of sun do you have on that day?

...and what time is sunrise on that day?

This year, the Summer Solstice was June 20th; next year, it is June 21st.
This year, on June 20th, the sun rose at 5:46 am and set at 8:29 pm.
So that's 14 hours 41 minutes of daylight.

Never bothered to measure it!

18 hours and 29 minutes.

Sunrise at 4am.

Nautical twilight is the darkest it ever gets for around ten weeks of summer. You can sit outside all night and read if the sky is clear.

This year, on June 20th, the sun rose at 6:01 DST am and set at 9:23 pm.

Here's a source to find it for your area.

Lots of information, not just sunrise/sunset.
