About the sun in Fort Wayne
In Fort Wayne, the longest day of 2026 is June 21, with 15h 09m of daylight, and the shortest is December 21, with 9h 13m: a difference of 5 hours 56 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on June 14 (6:07 AM) and the latest sunset on June 27 (9:17 PM). 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.
