A closer look at the sky over South Lakes
On September 23, 2026, the sun is above South Lakes for 12h 9m — rising at 7:44 AM toward 89° E, reaching its high point at 1:49 PM, and setting at 7:53 PM toward 271° W. Those two horizon moments anchor the day's best light.
That gives an evening golden hour of 6:55 PM – 8:23 PM (about 1h 28m) followed by the cooler 8:23 PM – 8:36 PM blue hour once the sun is down; early risers get the same in reverse, with blue hour at 7:00 AM – 7:13 AM and a morning golden hour of 7:13 AM – 8:42 AM. Civil twilight finally ends — full dusk — at 8:36 PM.
After dark, the moon over South Lakes is a waxing gibbous at 91% illumination, rising at 7:18 PM toward 114° ESE. The city sits at 61.6°N, which brings an extreme seasonal swing in day length: through September the days are drawing in and the point where it sets is sliding back toward the south, so every one of these times drifts gradually from day to day. The planner above recomputes all of them for whatever date you select.
