What's Happening:

  • Winter Solstice: The Earth's tilt means the Northern Hemisphere receives the least direct sunlight on this day.
  • Longer Days: From today (December 22nd) onward, we'll gain a few minutes of daylight each day, a trend that will continue until the Summer Solstice around June 20th.
  • Gains: You'll notice the evenings getting brighter first, with gains of a few minutes daily, adding up to significant extra daylight by January and February.

In Summary: The days are getting longer now because we've just passed the peak of winter's short days; expect more sunlight to come.
