About the sun in Dunfermline

In Dunfermline, the longest day of 2026 is 21 June, with 17h 38m of daylight, and the shortest is 21 December, with 6h 56m: a difference of 10 hours 43 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on 18 June (04:26) and the latest sunset on 24 June (22:05). 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. Dunfermline lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 57.4° above the horizon, on 21 June. Around midsummer, from 5 May to 8 August, the sun never sinks 18° below the horizon, so the night sky never gets fully dark.
