Happy summer solstice!

[radiantfracture]

Today the sun rose at 5:11 am where I am and will set at 9:18 pm, for 16 hours, 6 minutes, and 45 seconds of daylight.

There will be 40 minutes of true night, with about two hours of astronomical twilight on either side; likewise an hour of nautical twilight coming and going; and 42 minutes of civil twilight each way in which to play that Weakerthans song.

How about you?

After all this rain and cold gray June, summer has appeared so abruptly that it's disorienting, like a smash cut from rain to sun.

Sunrise at 4.17 am (I wasn’t around for it but I can confirm it was fully light at 6.20 when I was walking to work) and sunset is at 22.19 and it probably won’t get fully dark at all. (18 hours of light!) Mostly this means it’s a rubbish week to be on early shift as it’s really difficult- even with black out curtains - to get to sleep early enough for a good night’s sleep!
