Greetings, iam Charles Gillies, Hope you’re doing good!
Ah man, the month is getting dark earlier and earlier! It’s like time is flying by. I swear it was just summertime and now here we are in the fall. I guess that’s life though, right? You blink and suddenly you’re in a different season. But hey, at least there’s still plenty of time to enjoy the outdoors before it gets too cold!
What Month Gets Dark The Earliest? [Solved]
Ah, December—the month of the longest night and shortest day! As soon as it hits, we know the sun’s gonna start settin’ earlier and earlier. Then comes the winter solstice—the darkest day of all. But don’t worry, after that it’s all uphill; we get a few more minutes of daylight each day until finally, in early January, we get our latest sunrise.
Winter Solstice: The winter solstice is the day of the year when the sun sets earliest in the Northern Hemisphere, typically occurring around December 21st. This marks the shortest day and longest night of the year.
Daylight Savings Time: Daylight savings time can also affect when it gets dark, as clocks are set back an hour in autumn and forward an hour in spring, resulting in earlier sunsets during fall and winter months.
Latitude: The further north you go, the earlier it will get dark due to a shorter period of daylight hours throughout these months. For example, cities located near or above the Arctic Circle experience polar night where there is no sunlight for days or weeks at a time during winter months.
Weather Conditions: Cloudy weather can also cause darkness to come earlier than usual as clouds block out sunlight from reaching Earth’s surface sooner than normal days with clear skies would allow for sunset to occur later on in evening hours.
It’s no surprise that the month with the earliest darkness is here. As soon as October rolls around, it feels like the days get shorter and shorter. Yup, it’s time to break out those cozy sweaters and warm drinks!
