Worked out from the sun’s real position for this exact place, the way the app does it. No forecast is needed for these.
What these times mean
- Golden hour
- The low, warm sun before sunset and after sunrise, from six degrees up. How long it lasts changes with the season and how far north you are.
- Sunset and sunrise
- The minute the top of the sun meets the horizon here, with the bend of the air allowed for.
- Blue hour
- The deep blue from four degrees under until last light in the evening, and the same on the way up in the morning.
- Last light and first light
- Six degrees under: enough light to see by, and no more.
- Last colour and first colour
- About eight degrees under, when the last of the colour gives out in the evening, and in the morning when the first of it comes in. The Sky Score is read for the minute the colour peaks, a little after sunset and before sunrise.
