About the sun in Thunder Bay

In Thunder Bay, the longest day of 2026 is June 21, with 16h 06m of daylight, and the shortest is December 21, with 8h 19m: a difference of 7 hours 47 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on June 16 (5:55 a.m.) and the latest sunset on June 25 (10:02 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. Thunder Bay lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 65.1° above the horizon, on June 21.
