Can you see those summer days on Lake Huron??
🌅 The First 7 PM Sunset of 2026 is One Week Away!!
Happy Meteorological Spring!
If you’ve been dealing with the winter blues over the past few months, we’ve got just the cure for it.
We’ve been rapidly gaining daylight, and that increase has really started to speed up as we get closer to the spring equinox later this month. That’s when the rate of daylight gains will begin to slow down a bit, but for now, we’re in the sweet spot.
At this point, we’re gaining around 2 to 3 minutes of daylight every single day. That might not sound like much, but it adds up quickly. You’ve probably already noticed the sunsets getting later and later.
Many areas across Southern Ontario have even started seeing sunsets happen after 6 PM since late February.
And now we’re just around the corner from our first 7 PM sunsets, all thanks to the start of Daylight Saving Time next Sunday.
Clocks will spring forward early Sunday morning, which means those post 6 PM sunsets will instantly turn into 7 PM sunsets by this time next week.
Take Windsor for example, it will see a sunset around 7:30 PM next Sunday. That’s a huge change compared to the 4 or 5 PM sunsets we were stuck with in the middle of winter.
While we might be off to a colder start to March, there is a lot to look forward to. That warm up next weekend will make it feel much more spring like, especially when you pair it with longer evenings and more daylight.
Longer days, later sunsets and a hint of warmth in the air, spring really is on the way. 🌺
Are you excited for those later sunsets next weekend?
