Kersey golden hour & blue hour by season

Golden hour is the warm, low-sun light; blue hour is the cooler twilight that brackets it. These windows come from Kersey’s true solar geometry — the sun’s altitude, not a fixed hour — so they stretch toward the solstices and run longer than the rule-of-thumb hour.

Daylight saving time in Kersey

Kersey springs its clocks forward on Sunday, March 8, 2026 and falls back on Sunday, November 1, 2026. Between those dates the local clock runs an hour later, so sunrise and sunset both read later — though the amount of daylight is unchanged; only the label on the clock moves.

Why sunset time shifts in Kersey

Sunset drifts through the year with Earth’s ~23.4° axial tilt — see the full daylight explainer.

In Kersey, the longest day carries about 15h 3m of daylight and the shortest just 9h 17m — a swing of roughly 5h 46m between the June and December solstices. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider that gap; the pace also isn’t steady, moving fastest near the equinoxes and barely at all near the solstices. Every figure here is computed from the sun’s position for Kersey’s exact coordinates, in local time.

Frequently asked

What time is sunset in Kersey today?

The exact start and end times for today are listed above; the window is shorter near the equator and longer at high latitudes. On Kersey's longest day near the June solstice it stretches to about 15h 3m of daylight, so the golden hours run longest then.
What time is sunrise in Kersey?
Today's sunrise time for Kersey is listed above in local time. Sunrise is the moment the upper edge of the sun first appears over the horizon. Because Earth's tilt changes the sun's path through the year, sunrise drifts earlier through spring and later through autumn.
