Sunrise and Sunset in Illinois

The 88 Illinois cities listed here span 3.9° of latitude, from Belleville in the south (38.5°N) to Round Lake Beach in the north (42.4°N). On the June solstice that puts about 15h 17m of daylight over Round Lake Beach against 14h 52m over Belleville — a 26m difference inside one state. In December the gap reverses, and the southern cities are the ones holding more light.

The median Illinois city swings 6h 6m between the solstices against a national median of 5h 16m, so seasons here move the clock 50m more than they do in a typical American city.

Seasons bite hardest in Round Lake Beach, where daylight swings 6h 13m between the solstices, and least in Belleville at 5h 23m. The table above lists both figures for every city, so you can see where any town falls between those two extremes.

Illinois sits entirely in Central Time. Longitude decides how a city's clock lines up with its Sun: Quincy sits furthest west inside its zone, which puts mean solar noon about 6 minutes after clock noon and gives it the state's latest-running evenings for its longitude.

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.
