very precise (and artificial) definitions of sunrise, sunset, and daylight, all essential for such requirements to be specified!

Too cold here to celebrate appropriately, i.e., dancing naked in the woods.

 

[Omenainen]

Yes, tomorrow will be three seconds longer. It sure makes a big difference

My wife and I visited Stonehenge last Saturday; completely accidental. Many interesting people were already camping on the council maintained roads through the National Trust property, preparing for today's celebration.

It was cloudy all day. Sunrise 8:02 sunset 3:55.

Fifty years ago I was in Thule, Greenland. Sunset 2 Nov 1972, sunrise 3 Feb 1973.

7:27am to 4:12pm for me today.
It's 4pm here now and already getting dark
21 degrees Fahrenheit so no naked dancing for me

7:18 am sunrise. 4:46 pm sunset.

Tomorrow the days will be getting longer. Huzzah!

 

[PennameWombat]

Oh, sure. You Northern Hemisphere types, with your getting longer days and all that...

5:40 am sunrise, 8:05 pm sunset. Oddly, for the 22nd, we have 5:41/8:06, so we lose less than a second.

Then it gains speed. We lose 2 seconds on the 23rd, then by Boxing Day we're losing double-digit seconds each day as our descent into darkness gains speed. We've peaked and it's all downhill now.
