About the sun in Seaham

In Seaham, the longest day of 2026 is 21 June, with 17h 20m of daylight, and the shortest is 21 December, with 7h 12m: a difference of 10 hours 8 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on 18 June (04:27) and the latest sunset on 24 June (21:48). 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. Seaham lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 58.6° above the horizon, on 21 June. Around midsummer, from 9 May to 4 August, the sun never sinks 18° below the horizon, so the night sky never gets fully dark.
