April 2011 Sunrise/Sunset Tables

Sample sunrise/sunset tables for select cities in Canada, the US, the Middle East, Haiti and Japan have been posted for April 2011. The tables include the times of rise and set as well as the time of solar noon and the total number of daylight hours for each day of the month.

If your location is not one of the samples, contact us for a free table for your location for this month.

Visit http://www.sunposition.com/tables.html to view our samples or to order your specific table.

If you prefer, our tables can be prepared showing the sun's direction at rise and set (instead of the time of solar noon and the total number of daylight hours).

Cheers, Ralph

Daylight Saving Time 2011

For those of you in North American jurisdictions that observe Daylight Saving Time, don't forget to 'spring' your clocks ahead one hour this Saturday night! Official time change occurs at 2:00 a.m. local time on Sunday, March 13th.

Since 2007, daylight time has begun in North America on the second Sunday in March and ended on the first Sunday in November. On the second Sunday in March, clocks are set ahead one hour at 2:00 a.m. local standard time, which becomes 3:00 a.m. local daylight time. On the first Sunday in November, clocks are set back one hour at 2:00 a.m. local daylight time, which becomes 1:00 a.m. local standard time.

Not all places in the U.S. observe daylight time. In particular, Hawaii and most of Arizona do not use it. Indiana adopted its use beginning in 2006. In Canada, most of Saskatchewan, parts of Quebec, and Southampton Island in Nunavut do not observe daylight time.

Afternoons are Getting Longer

Believe it or not, although the shortest day of the year is still 11 days away, the afternoons begin to get longer in Toronto ON starting today.  The sun will set later each day beginning Dec 10/10 and we will gain about 10 more minutes of afternoon light by the end of the month.

Pedestrians and cyclists, be aware of where the sun is!

  

Pedestrians and cyclists, be aware of where the sun is!  Drivers may not be able to see you - especially in the first and last hour or so of daylight.
