and it's 8PM eastern, and it's still daylight.

I don't remember getting the longer days until later in the month.
anyone?

[knarf]

Or am I just getting too old to remember yesterday ?

[Keith in Iowa]

It’s that “super moon” thing.... :D

[catnipman]

Another unpredicted effect of GLOBAL WARMING!

[Cyber Liberty]

The memory is said to be the second thing to go. I forgot what’s the first....

[mnehring]

Yea man, I’ve seen it too. It is getting darker later than it has all year long.

Weird.

I also noticed it gets darker earlier late in the year.

Obviously, it is a conspiracy.

Have you moved recently? The sun rises and sets later as you move west within your timezone, and the number of hours of daylight increases as you go north. Her in Toronto the sun will set at 8:24pm today and we got 14 hours and 20 minutes of daylight.

[Spunky]

The last few years we went on daylight savings earliar then we used to, so we do get the longer days sooner.

Increased solar viscosity.

The sunlight clings to the atmosphere better than it used to.

It’s part of the Republican War On Women - this gives them more time to pound dirty clothes on rocks down at the creek.

You've been getting longer days since late December, you just may not notice it as much.

"..and it's 8PM eastern"

Also wasn't it just a couple of years ago that ET New York went on Daylight savings time? So a couple of years ago it would have only been 7:00 p.m. ET.

LOL!

Weatherbug has sunrise and sunset times for your area. Our local sunset time is 7:37, and the suset time for the longest day is 8:04:31. But, yeah, I notice the later times, and I like it. Winter is so depressing. And cold.

[Mears]

Huh?

[InvisibleChurch]

Crummy republicans scared the moon away.

[icwhatudo]

Does seem weird. Its cloudy outside, 8:17 PM EST, and I’m going out to get some more thing done BEFORE it gets dark. Maybe that supermoon is reflecting some extra light tonight.

[umgud]

Unfortunately, all these years of adding the daylight savings times hours has really affected globul warming negatively.

[TexasSecede79366]

You're getting old "chief". The summer solstice is June 21.
That's the part I hate. As you get older time flies faster. I swear I was 30 last week.

[chiller]

True, daylight savings time was moved, but from April to March, iirc, so I don’t think that’s the answer.
