[Closed] longest night?

Overnight 20/21 is shorter than 21/22 by 2 seconds, so the latter is the longest night.

I've noticed the sunset getting later already which is nice.

Yeah, that starts around the 15th

pick your location and be amazed how how long it takes for the daylight to get longer

Which drives me crazy.  seems so wrong!

depends upon latitude, further south earliest sunset is at end of Nov

Thanks! Although I fear it may have to be moved.
The Mrs wants to celebrate the solstice by greeting the Sun at dawn after the longest night, and the fact that this is not the longest day will not be allowed to stand 🙁

Dawn on on the 22nd is the first sunrise of the winter.

Well it's not the solstice but I think that might just do her 🙂

Whuuut?!? This makes no sense!!

Just noticed on there I've lost 9 minutes of daylight by moving 90 miles north. Presumably I'll get it back in the summer.

I move South for the Winter and back North in Spring...winning!

I'm still waiting for summer to start from this year.

Our wedding anniversary is 21st Dec. I often mention it being the darkest day. Oh, how she laughs.

You will. Just remember to pop a note in the diary, it's easy to forget summer is the first Tuesday in June.

Glasgow here and when I used to cycle to work, it was always the last week in February when I could cycle home for 6pm and not need lights. That always felt good

Interesting, from that link earlier the day is the same length from 18th to the 25th.

Yeah, because it's not very accurate. You really needing to be looking at Seconds too - see my first reply here.

Latest sunrise is around New Year. Which is nice...
