About the sun in South Suffolk
In South Suffolk, the longest day of 2026 is June 21, with 14h 41m of daylight, and the shortest is December 21, with 9h 39m: a difference of 5 hours 2 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on June 13 (5:47 AM) and the latest sunset on June 28 (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. South Suffolk lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 76.7° above the horizon, on June 21.
