In Mappilaiurani, the longest day of 2026 is 21 June, with 12h 38m of daylight, and the shortest is 21 December, with 11h 37m: a difference of 1 hour 2 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on 28 May (5:57 AM) and the latest sunset on 14 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. Mappilaiurani lies between the tropics, so the sun is directly overhead at solar noon twice a year: on 12 April and 30 August.
