Latest sunset 6/27/20

The Sky This Week, 2020 June 23 – 30 — Naval Oceanography Portal

The year’s latest sunset occurs on the 27th for folks living in northern temperate latitudes.  Here in Washington Old Sol slips below the horizon at 8:38 pm EDT that evening.  Most of us probably won’t notice the Sun’s gradual return to earlier set times for a couple of weeks; he won’t set before 8:30 pm until July 20th.  On the other end of the day, though, sunrise is now four minutes later than it was on June 13th, so the days are indeed beginning to gradually get shorter.
