On the summer solstice in June, this part of the State doesn't ever really get dark. In fact, that lasts for about six weeks. On the solstice itself, we have nearly 23 hours of daylight.
But in mid-May, we're approaching that condition already. Here are the actual times for sunrise and sunset today, along with the times of usable light.
Sunrise Sunset
Actual Time 4:59 AM 10:53 PM
Civil Twilight 3:41 AM 12:11 AM

The best time of year. Even here in MN. If our weather gets its self in order...
Hmm, let’s see: long daylight hours, and snow and frost in summer. Sounds like Alaska envy. 😉🤣
Used to love fishing there, this time of year.
Back in the day made a lot of money working in the Alaska summers.
WSF, there's still a huge influx of seasonal workers in summertime, along with all the construction work done during this relatively short season.
I remember teeing off at midnight in Keflavik and finishing at 0400! :-)
It’s certainly possible. Not everyone has that level of commitment, though. :)
