In Katheru, the longest day of 2026 is 21 June, with 13h 09m of daylight, and the shortest is 22 December, with 11h 07m: a difference of 2 hours 2 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on 4 June (5:28 AM) and the latest sunset on 7 July (6:41 PM). These dates do not fall on the solstice because Earth's orbit is elliptical and its axis is tilted, so solar noon drifts through the year. Katheru lies between the tropics, so the sun is directly overhead at solar noon twice a year: on 8 May and 5 August.
