Well since the winter solstice not much has happened but we're slowly starting to move in the right direction.
Sunrise on the winter solstice was 8:42 and Jan 1 is 8:44 . So two minutes of daylight have been gained. Sunset on the winter solstice was 4:24 and on Jan. 1 was 4:33 so the daylight has increased by nine minutes .
Okay I promise not to make such a nerdy post until March.
Please make more, I enjoy everything you post. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteAnd a cloudy sky can make sunrise seem much later
ReplyDeleteYou don’t have to keep that promise. It is good to be reminded as temperature change lags far behind the increase in sunlight, so I tend not to notice.
ReplyDeleteYAY for more daylight! I wish you all the best in 2026, a very happy and healthy New Year! Take care, enjoy your day and happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteI like to think of nine minutes of daylight have alredy returned, Red. I'm glad you are such a delightful nerd.
ReplyDeleteI do like being on the upside of daylight!
ReplyDeleteHa! Well, I appreciate that the daylight is moving in the right direction, at least. :)
ReplyDeleteNot nerdy to me, I've been enjoying every single extra minute of daylight :)
ReplyDeleteNerdy is interesting!
ReplyDeleteI'm always fascinated by that. Maybe I'm a nerd too! I always ask myself when will I first notice the longer daylight, and I think it's about 3 weeks in.
ReplyDeleteFellow sunrise/sunset watcher here. 😊
ReplyDeleteWe notice the bit of light around at 5 p.m. now! Yay!
ReplyDeleteNerdy is good.
ReplyDeleteHere the weather has more to do with the daylight than the official hours. We are entering into another long stretch of very dark days.
Every little bit of sunlight helps!
ReplyDelete:-)) I love how the days are getting longer :-)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Our Christmas tree is still up! Yay!
Happy New Year!
Wait. You may have more daylight in the evening, but if your report is accurate that sunrise was 8:42 and Jan. 1st is 8:44, that is two minutes Lesa sunlight in the morning, not two minutes more. I don’t doubt you at all. Earth’s orbit gets a little snarky in December. It’s true!
