About the sun in Courtenay

In Courtenay, the longest day of 2026 is June 20, with 16h 19m of daylight, and the shortest is December 21, with 8h 07m: a difference of 8 hours 12 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on June 16 (5:12 a.m.) and the latest sunset on June 25 (9:32 p.m.). 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. Courtenay lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 63.7° above the horizon, on June 21. Around midsummer, from June 3 to July 9, the sun never sinks 18° below the horizon, so the night sky never gets fully dark.
