BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) — As we move toward the summer and the solstice, sunsets are starting to take place after 9 o'clock in the Treasure Valley.
In Boise tonight, the sunset is projected to take place around 8:59. In Ontario, it's scheduled to be at 9:04.
The later sunsets and earlier sunrises, are giving us more than 14 and a half hours of sunlight each day. Moving ahead, days will only get longer and sunsets later, until the solstice.
Wednesday, June 21, is the Summer Solstice. On that day, Boise will see nearly 15 and a half hours of sunshine, and the sun will set at 9:29p.m.
After the Summer Solstice, days will start to get shorter once again as we move toward the Winter Solstice. We'll also lose an hour of sunlight in the evenings in early November when the clocks change, as the federal government has yet voted on abolishing DST, after progress was made in 2021.
Note: Data is pulled from timeanddate.com, regarding sunrise/sunset, day length times. While we cannot predict the sunset perfectly, most modern calculators tend to be within a couple of minutes.
