About the sun in South Milwaukee
In South Milwaukee, the longest day of 2026 is June 21, with 15h 21m of daylight, and the shortest is December 21, with 9h 01m: a difference of 6 hours 20 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on June 15 (5:12 AM) and the latest sunset on June 26 (8:34 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 Milwaukee lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 70.5° above the horizon, on June 21.
