Longer days ahead: Why late winter brings a surge in daylight
Central and northern U.S. locations gain 80 to 100 minutes more daylight from February to March, boosting evening light and signaling the approach of spring.
- By March, residents of the central and northern United States will see up to 100 minutes more daylight between February and March, with earlier sunrises and later sunsets already visible by February.
- Earth's axial tilt causes the sun's angle to rise after the winter solstice in late December, increasing daylight time across the scope, as the pace of daylight gain accelerates in February and March.
- By the spring equinox in March, day and night are nearly equal, and late-winter gains accelerate as the sun delivers more energy despite lingering cold, snow, and slow-to-warm land and water.
- Residents notice extended evening light and extra sunlight improves mood and daily routines even while cold lingers, signaling spring’s approach.
- Because latitude matters, the exact daylight gains vary by latitude, making the change feel sharper in some regions and marking a seasonal transition toward warmer seasons.
