Althouse: Today's sunrise at 5:12 and 5:27.

The official sunrise time was 5:28.

That's 11 minutes later than the earliest sunrise time of the year, which we had from June 10th to June 19th.

The lightest month of the year — that is, the month-long period with the solstice in the center — ended last Monday or Tuesday. That means we have less than 4 more weeks of the season of Light.

I prefer the spring and fall Equality seasons.

I see that I once said:

"I would call the seasons: 1. Dark Time (with winter solstice in the middle), 2. Dark-Light Time (with spring equinox in the middle), 3. Light Time (summer solstice in middle), and 4. Light-Dark Time (with fall equinox in middle)."; 7/11/21, 10:57 AM
