Longest and shortest day are the June and December solstice day lengths at each city's own coordinates. Sun vs. clock is how far mean solar noon falls from 12:00 standard time — negative means the Sun peaks before the clock says noon.

Sunrise and Sunset in Alabama

The 25 Alabama cities listed here span 4.2° of latitude, from Daphne in the south (30.6°N) to Florence in the north (34.8°N). On the June solstice that puts about 14h 30m of daylight over Florence against 14h 8m over Daphne — a 22m difference inside one state. In December the gap reverses, and the southern cities are the ones holding more light.

The median Alabama city swings 4h 25m between the solstices against a national median of 5h 16m, so Alabama has a 51m gentler year of daylight than a typical American city.

Seasons bite hardest in Florence, where daylight swings 4h 41m between the solstices, and least in Daphne at 3h 58m. The table above lists both figures for every city, so you can see where any town falls between those two extremes.

Alabama sits entirely in Central Time. Longitude still decides how each city's clock lines up with its Sun — every city page states that offset explicitly.

Each city page carries that city's full profile: today's sunrise and sunset on a live tracker, a twelve-month table of times, the dates of the year's earliest and latest sunsets, the Sun's midday height by season, a golden-hour calendar, clear-sky solar-energy figures, and where the city ranks against the rest of the country.
