Daylight Slowly Returning
It has been one month since the winter solstice. That means we have 28 minutes, 26 seconds more daylight now than we did a month ago. We’ll gain even more daylight in the next month. On February 21st, we’ll have 1 hour 11 minutes and 57 seconds more daylight than we have today. Source.
