About the sun in Kozhikode
In Kozhikode, the longest day of 2026 is 21 June, with 12h 47m of daylight, and the shortest is 22 December, with 11h 28m: a difference of 1 hour 19 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on 30 May (6:02 AM) and the latest sunset on 11 July (6:55 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. Kozhikode lies between the tropics, so the sun is directly overhead at solar noon twice a year: on 19 April and 23 August.
