Driving the news: We'll be gaining a little more sunlight between yesterday's spring equinox and the June 20 summer solstice.
For us, NOAA's solar calculator indicates we're due to get about 2 more hours of sunlight in that stretch of time.
How it works: Here in the Northern Hemisphere, northern latitudes gain more daylight in the spring compared to areas closer to the equator as the Sun's path through the sky shifts northward.
The summer solstice marks the longest day βΒ and the start of the Sun's southward retreat, with shorter days to follow.
