About the sun in Brandon

In Brandon, the longest day of 2026 is June 21, with 14h 16m of daylight, and the shortest is December 21, with 10h 02m: a difference of 4 hours 14 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on June 11 (5:53 AM) and the latest sunset on June 29 (8:11 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. Brandon lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 81.2° above the horizon, on June 21.
