About the sun in Stockton-on-Tees

In Stockton-on-Tees, the longest day of 2026 is 21 June, with 17h 16m of daylight, and the shortest is 21 December, with 7h 15m: a difference of 10 hours 1 minute. The earliest sunrise of the year is on 18 June (04:29) and the latest sunset on 24 June (21:46). 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. Stockton-on-Tees lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 58.9° above the horizon, on 21 June. Around midsummer, from 10 May to 3 August, the sun never sinks 18° below the horizon, so the night sky never gets fully dark.
