The earliest sunrise of the year is on 17 June (04:41) and the latest sunset on 25 June (21:23). 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. Hoddesdon lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 61.7° above the horizon, on 21 June. Around midsummer, from 22 May to 22 July, the sun never sinks 18° below the horizon, so the night sky never gets fully dark.
