Quite poor for your latitude.

Not really, we're actually pretty far west in the time zone.



Solar Noon is at 12:34 right now (Sunrise 6:50 AM, Sunset 6:17 PM) which isn't really that early.

Because I have to be out of the house by 7:30 every morning, I'd rather have the daylight hours the way they are and "sacrifice" a possible extra 30 minutes in the evening. Nothing is more depressing than preparing for your day while it's completely dark outside. Anyway, we get 8:17 sunsets in the summer with civil twilight stretching to around 8:45, good enough for me. I found the extreme daylight hours to be a bit obnoxious when I was in Scotland, definitely not something I'd want to deal with on a daily basis, especially the darkness in winter.

You're only 5 degrees into the timezone, Ireland is 11 degrees into the timezone. Irrespective of this, some parts of Ireland have similar sunsets to you.

I don't really care that much about sunset/sunrise times tbh, it doesn't really matter to me whether it's dark or light outside. I do like a good change in daylight length though, it's rather lame here.

You don't care because you don't live in a Northern location and thus aren't affected by the plunge into darkness during winter months.

I don't really care in all honesty.


And seeing as how we're 2/3rds of the way between winter solstice and spring equinox it doesn't surprise me that much that sunset times are starting to even out at all latitudes.

Nah. I don't care because I simply don't care, lol. I don't care about it being daylight or night outside, I go outside regardless. Matter of fact, I would even say I'm more active at night.
