It might not feel very springlike this week, with temperatures well below normal, but we continue to get longer and longer days!

It is a rapid change that becomes noticeable around the start of spring.

We have been gaining and will continue to gain over two minutes of daylight every single day until the middle of May.

As of April 8, the sun is also now setting after 8 p.m. with over 13 hours of daylight!

Of course, we will continue to gain daylight for the rest of May until summer starts, but the amount of daylight gained slows as we near the summer solstice.

By Memorial Day, the sunset will be around 8:50 p.m., and in early July, the sunsets will briefly be after 9 p.m.

The sun will set after 8 p.m. until early September.
