About the sun in Hervey Bay

In Hervey Bay, the longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 13h 43m of daylight, and the shortest is 21 June, with 10h 34m: a difference of 3 hours 9 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on 1 December (4:50 AM) and the latest sunset on 12 January (6:44 PM). These dates do not fall on the solstice because Earth's orbit is elliptical and its axis is tilted, so solar noon drifts through the year. Hervey Bay lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 88.1° above the horizon, on 22 December.
