Brightest days: More than 14 hours of daylight through Aug. 16
Next 3 months are the brightest of the year
Welcome to the brightest days of the year in Minnesota.
A check of daylight numbers shows why the next three months are among the brightest of the year in Minnesota.
Daylight in the Twin Cities reached 14 hours, 42 minutes and 42 seconds Tuesday.
We’re gaining 2 minutes of daylight per day.
Daylight peaks on June 20 at 15 hours 36 minutes
Daylight stays at or above 14 hours through Aug. 16
A look at the daylight graph for the Twin Cities shows how we are entering the three brightest months of the year now.
One enjoyable feature of these peak summer daylight months is the long evening light. Sunset in the Twin Cities and most of Minnesota is 8:30 p.m. or later through Aug. 7. That makes for plenty of time after typical workday hours to get out and enjoy the brighter evenings.
Minnesotans know how to make the most of our long summer daylight hours.
Enjoy.
