A closer look at the sky over Winchester

On August 8, 2026, the sun is above Winchester for 14h 1m — rising at 6:44 AM toward 68° ENE, reaching its high point at 1:45 PM, and setting at 8:45 PM toward 292° WNW. Those two horizon moments anchor the day's best light.

That gives an evening golden hour of 8:08 PM – 9:06 PM (about 59 min) followed by the cooler 9:06 PM – 9:15 PM blue hour once the sun is down; early risers get the same in reverse, with blue hour at 6:14 AM – 6:23 AM and a morning golden hour of 6:23 AM – 7:22 AM. Civil twilight finally ends — full dusk — at 9:15 PM.

After dark, the moon over Winchester is a waning crescent at 22% illumination, rising at 1:34 AM toward 52° NE. The city sits at 40.2°N, which brings a wide seasonal swing in day length: through August 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.
