It's the hottest stretch of 2024 in San Diego, but one element of fall's approach is true regardless of the weather: our days are getting shorter.
The big picture: We're losing about 2.5 hours of sunlight during the time between the summer solstice and the fall equinox, per NOAA's Solar Calculator.
How it works: Northern latitudes lose more daylight in the fall and winter compared to areas closer to the equator, as the Sun's path through the sky shifts southward.
