    There is some rounding at play, but basically sunrise keeps getting later until around the 25th. &#160;The earliest sunset is around the 17th, and after the 21st it starts getting later but the incremental change is not enough to make up for what we continue to lose in the morning. &#160;Takes about a week after the solstice to start making a net gain.

   </div> According to the environment canada weather page, we actually got 1 
   <br/>minute less sunlight today than yesterday.&#160; I understand about solar 
   <br/>noon (I think), so I&#39;m not really expecting sunrise to be earlier each 
   <br/>day...but the total hours of sunlight should be increasing, not 
   <br/>decreasing, after the solstice, I thought.&#160; What up with that?&#160; Is it 
   <br/>perhaps some rounding issue with the Environment Canada calculator?&#160; I 
   <br/>get the same result (less sunlight time, when I go to the NOAA solar 
   <br/>Calculator)
   <br/>Thanks.
