When do days get longer?
Days get longer from the winter solstice, around 21 December, to the summer solstice, around 21 June, and then get shorter. Day length changes fastest around the March and September equinoxes; the rate varies across the UK.
Sunrise and sunset are the moments when the upper edge of the Sun appears above or disappears below the horizon, allowing for atmospheric refraction. Day length is the time between sunrise and sunset. Times are local UK time, allowing for GMT and British Summer Time.
