20,6° today. It's actually sunny so the low golden light is a nice sight.

I remember Ben mentioning that a sun angle <20 degrees feels "non-existent" or "very weak". For shits and giggles, this is how long these cities at differing latitudes spend with a sun angle at 20 degrees or below.
Miami, FL (25.8 N): Zero days (Lowest sun angle: 40.7 degrees, highest sun angle: 87.7 degrees)
Atlanta, GA (33.7 N): Zero days (Lowest sun angle: 32.8 degrees, highest sun angle: 79.8 degrees)
Chicago, IL (41.9 N): Zero days (Lowest sun angle: 24.6 degrees, highest sun angle: 71.6 degrees)
Winnipeg, MB: (49.9 N): 58 days (November 22 - January 19; Lowest sun angle: 16.6 degrees, highest sun angle: 63.6 degrees)
Juneau, AK (58.3 N): 117 days (October 23 - February 17; Lowest sun angle: 8.2 degrees, highest sun angle: 55.2 degrees)
Bettles, AK (66.9 N): 162 days (September 30 - March 11; Lowest sun angle: -0.4 degrees, highest sun angle: 46.6 degrees)
Resolute, NU (74.7 N): 202 days (September 10 - March 30; Lowest sun angle: -8.2 degrees, highest sun angle: 38.8 degrees)
Eureka, NU (80.0 N): 231 days (August 27 - April 15; Lowest sun angle: -13.5 degrees, highest sun angle: 33.5 degrees)
Alert, NU (82.5 N): 245 days (August 20 - April 22; Lowest sun angle: -16 degrees, highest sun angle: 31 degrees)
Barneo (88.2 N): 287 days (July 30 - May 13; Lowest sun angle: -21.7 degrees, highest sun angle: 25.3 degrees)
Kind of pointless, but interesting.

Should be around 120+ days here then. With tomorrow's highest sun angle at 19,9°, that period is just about to start. It's true that below 20° you can no longer feel the warmth of the sun on your cheek. One of the first real signs of spring in March is that the sun feels warm again.

Yeah, it should be about a week more than Juneau (about 3-4 days longer on each end). Shout out to those high latitude places with 200+ days of below 20 degree sun angle, lol. Peak sun angle today (October 20th) is 53.31 degrees. Sun feels noticeably benign compared to even just a month ago. |

I must live somewhere more south then, as I definitely notice the sun warming today. It's weak, yes, but it's not December and 0 UV yet.
Trough the bus window the warming effect was considerable.

Peak sun angle today (October 23rd) is 52.25 degrees. Today is officially "solar winter", due to the fact that it's 75% of the way between June 21st and December 21st (35.25 degrees away from June 21st, 11.75 degrees away from December 21st). Much like seasons, the "shoulder seasons" of sun angles are a good deal shorter than the plateau/valley seasons.

Today (October 30th) the peak sun angle is 49.89 degrees. Which means the sun is directly overhead at 14.01 S and on the horizon at 75.99 N.
Sun has moved quite a bit south. Sun angle has dropped 37.6 degrees since summer solstice and 14.1 degrees since the fall equinox. About 9.4 degrees to go until winter solstice.

The peak sun angle of 40.8 degrees today in Orcutt is the same as Miami on the Winter Solstice.  www.timeanddate.com/sun/@5379609www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/miami?month=12Nice! I'm assuming that means I reach your summer solstice sun angle around the end of April? Also, I'm a tad north of Miami. Peak winter solstice sun angle here is 40.4 degrees.  Today (November 1st) the peak sun angle is 49.25 degrees. |
