Virginia is about to gain 3 hours of daylight

Spring is officially here.

Why it matters: We won't have to face a dreaded 5pm sunset for another nine months.

Zoom in: The Richmond area will gain nearly 3 hours — two hours and 36 minutes if you want to be precise — of daylight between yesterday's spring equinox and the summer solstice on June 20, per NOAA's solar calculator.

• That's nearly the runtime of "Oppenheimer."

😎 The bottom line: Here comes the sun.
