About the sun in Manchester

In Manchester, the longest day of 2026 is June 21, with 15h 22m of daylight, and the shortest is December 21, with 9h 00m: a difference of 6 hours 22 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on June 15 (5:06 AM) and the latest sunset on June 26 (8:29 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. Manchester lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 70.4° above the horizon, on June 21.
