In Falmouth, the longest day of 2026 is 21 June, with 16h 24m of daylight, and the shortest is 21 December, with 8h 03m: a difference of 8 hours 21 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on 17 June (05:10) and the latest sunset on 25 June (21:34). 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. Falmouth lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 63.3° above the horizon, on 21 June. Around midsummer, from 31 May to 13 July, the sun never sinks 18° below the horizon, so the night sky never gets fully dark.
