At or near the equator, you’ll see 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness pretty much all year round. Honolulu, for example, has 13 hours and 26 minutes of daylight in June and 10 hours and 50 minutes in December. Anchorage on the other hand, gets 19 hours and 22 minutes of daylight in June, and only 5 hours and 27 minutes in December. Harrogate’s latitude is very similar to that of Anchorage. Today we’ll see the sun for 16 hours and 23 minutes. Because we’re so far from the equator, the sky is lit long before sunrise and after sunset. I don’t know which I dread more; the narrow dark winter days when the sun never seems to clear the tops of the trees, or the pale summer nights that rob me of my sleep. Maybe I should check the real estate prices in Honolulu.
