- The shortest day, the earliest sunset, the latest sunrise – and how quickly the light comes back, week by week.
- Shortest day: June 21 (10h 44m)
- Earliest sunset: June 7, 17:14
- Latest sunrise: July 4, 06:34
- The earliest sunset comes about ten days before the shortest day, the latest sunrise about ten days after it.

That is why the evenings are already getting lighter while the mornings are still getting darker.
