I'm late to the shoutbox thread, but Northeast Maine has the earliest sunrise in the continental USA, Van Buren starts at 4:35. 4:35 to 7:18 and 15:41 to 20:31. Hamlin may be 1 minute earlier, but it's not listed on this website. www.timeanddate.com/sun/@4981710Northeast Minnesota (Grand Portage) has sunrise before 5:00. So does Menominee county, Michigan. Escanaba is just to the east, just over the time zone boundary, and it has sunrise of 5:57 so the earliest would be 4:57 or 4:58. Washington Island, Wisconsin is just before 5:00 also. These places are the earliest spots, or close to it, in the central time zone. I didn't check pacific or mountain time zones.
The latest sunset in the continental US is the northwest corner of North Dakota. Westby has a sunset of 10:03pm. 5:51 to 8:49 sunrise, 16:58 to 22:03 sunset.
I thought it was Isle Royale, Michigan, but that is only 9:58 pm. This uninhabited island follows eastern time to keep with the northernmost parts of Michigan. www.timeanddate.com/sun/@4997335Earliest sunrise in mountain time zone: Either in Dunn County, ND west of Beulah or in the northeast corner of Montana. Both around 4:52am. Earliest sunrise in pacific time zone: A few possibilities. The northeast corner of Idaho is one. The nearest point of the state of Idaho to Missoula, MT (best way I can describe the location) is another. Both would be around 4:40am. Latest sunsets in each time zone: Eastern: Isle Royale (as mentioned) Central: Westby (as mentioned) Mountain: Almost certainly located at the northwest corner of Montana. Latest sunset in a town = Eureka, MT, 9:47pm. Judging by Bonners Ferry's latest (8:52pm pacific), it's probably around 9:50pm at the border. Pacific: This is the easy one, it's the northwesternmost point of Washington, wherever that is, and is around 9:20pm. If you want to be really technical, though, it would be 9:29pm in Hyder, Alaska, which uses this time zone because the only road connection to the town is through British Columbia. Great! I did not think that the pacific time zone would be so close to eastern time zone for the earliest sunset. |

The first nine minutes of astronomical twilight appeared last night. True darkness will return in three weeks.

It's still light after 10 PM here but it's crazy to think the Arctic still has longer days and lighter nights than we ever did in June.

We're now back to late April sun angles (equivalent to April 29th today). This has always seemed odd to me. Especially since Kansas City had an ice day in 2018 with a sun angle equivalent to August 27. |

Almost three hours lost and the peak sun angle will drop below 45° tomorrow. This is when it starts to feel like fall and I'm already seeing some yellow leaves on the ground.

Yeah I always find it very interesting to see the differences in day length at different latitudes. The long days are one of my favorite aspects of summer here, I think I'd be disappointed living somewhere with pre-9PM sunsets year round haha. |

But every time I think summer days are long here I look up an Arctic location that shits all over both of us. Even Dawson city still has a 10:26 PM sunset today. |

Our sunsets are now down to 8:15 PM here and sunrises are 6:35 AM. Loving the darkness lol (trying not to sound goth here) I personally cant sleep well when sunsets are post 9:00 PM because I go to bed early for work (wake up at 5:00 AM everyday). So happy to see the sun setting earlier. Also means winter is coming  |
