About the sun in Brighton East
In Brighton East, the longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 14h 48m of daylight, and the shortest is 21 June, with 9h 32m: a difference of 5 hours 16 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on 8 December (5:51 AM) and the latest sunset on 5 January (8:46 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.
