Here Comes The Sun

Every year I post about how much extra daylight you get every day, from the solstice to the clocks changing. Specific to San Francisco's latitude and time zone.
This Sunday got you 1 minute and 8 seconds of extra daylight. Today was 9 hours and 45 minutes long, there hasn't been a day that long since November 30th last year!

It's a milestone day! Today we added more than a minute of daylight in a single day -- in fact it was 1 minute and 2 seconds. At that kind of speed the minutes start racking up quickly! Sunset moved forward to 5.09pm.

Okay. It's the first Monday of the new year. That's not great. But what is great is you got 50 seconds of extra daylight today. You've added 6 minutes of daylight in the last 10 days!
