About the sun in Bideford

In Bideford, the longest day of 2026 is 21 June, with 16h 33m of daylight, and the shortest is 21 December, with 7h 55m: a difference of 8 hours 38 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on 17 June (05:02) and the latest sunset on 25 June (21:36). 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. Bideford lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 62.4° above the horizon, on 21 June. Around midsummer, from 26 May to 18 July, the sun never sinks 18° below the horizon, so the night sky never gets fully dark.
