About the sun in Torquay

In Torquay, the longest day of 2026 is 21 June, with 16h 27m of daylight, and the shortest is 21 December, with 8h 00m: a difference of 8 hours 27 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on 17 June (05:02) and the latest sunset on 25 June (21:30). 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. Torquay lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 63.0° above the horizon, on 21 June. Around midsummer, from 29 May to 15 July, the sun never sinks 18° below the horizon, so the night sky never gets fully dark.
