About the sun in St. John's

In St. John's, the longest day of 2026 is June 21, with 15h 59m of daylight, and the shortest is December 21, with 8h 26m: a difference of 7 hours 33 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on June 16 (5:03 a.m.) and the latest sunset on June 25 (9:03 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. St. John's lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 65.9° above the horizon, on June 21.
