Sign up for the weeklyIn the span of one day, sunsets will jump from occurring just before 6 p.m. to occurring just before 7 p.m., according to TimeAndDate.com.
By next Sunday, the sun will be setting at 7 p.m., and we will also hit another important milestone, as we will have more than 12 hours of daylight for the first time since Sept. 25, 2023.In fact, by the end of the month we will be experiencing just under 12 hours and 45 minutes of daylight in the Chicago area.The latest sunset of the year will arrive in mid-to-late June when the sun will go down at approximately 8:29 p.m.
After that, days will very slowly begin to grow shorter, though it will only occur in increments of fewer than 30 seconds each day through the end of June.Naturally, the big question with daylight saving time is when it will end, and as always, that date will occur in early November, with the federal government mandating that clocks roll back on the first Sunday of the month.
