About the sun in Kendal

In Kendal, the longest day of 2026 is 21 June, with 17h 13m of daylight, and the shortest is 21 December, with 7h 18m: a difference of 9 hours 55 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on 17 June (04:36) and the latest sunset on 24 June (21:50). 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. Kendal lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 59.1° above the horizon, on 21 June. Around midsummer, from 11 May to 2 August, the sun never sinks 18° below the horizon, so the night sky never gets fully dark.
