Why so warm and bright today OMG!

Anyone share the same experience?

Public lightings already turned on by timers at 7pm and yet the sky was as bright as 4pm.

It's light from the fire coming out of the approaching Dragon's mouth.

this effect is more pronoun if you live in places with 4 seasons. its a very common pattern

longer day time in summer and longer night in winter.
we can be considered entering the spring season, thus experiencing longer day time

My son is right. The rotating axis of the earth is tilted at 66 degrees. Nearer to the middle of the globe, i.e. the equator, the difference is not so pronounced but still, there'll be slight differences day to day. Beyond tropics of cancer and capricorn, i.e. the north and south temperate zones, the difference is very wide but common. You can have 4 p.m. or 9 p.m. sunset depending on the season. That's why many of these countries have Daylight Saving Time adjustments.

Northernmost in Russia, Scandanavia and Canada, southernmost in Antartica, you can even get white night, i.e. daylight all day and night long.

Other factors depend on the winds and the clouds.
