About the sun in Monroe

In Monroe, the longest day of 2026 is June 21, with 14h 17m of daylight, and the shortest is December 21, with 10h 01m: a difference of 4 hours 17 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on June 11 (6:01 AM) and the latest sunset on June 29 (8:20 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. Monroe lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 80.9° above the horizon, on June 21.
