Is the cold and snow over for the season in Denver? Who knows, as Mother Nature has a mind of her own this time of year in Denver, but one thing is for sure…more sunshine is coming!

Since March, the sun has been setting past 7 p.m., and by next week, it’ll set past 8 p.m.

According to Time and Date, the sun will set at exactly 8 p.m. on Wednesday, May 7, and by Thursday, May 8, the sun will rise at 5:51 a.m. and set at 8:01 p.m., giving Denver over 14 hours of sunlight.

The sun will continue to rise earlier and set later until it reaches the longest day of the year on June 20, when the sun will rise at 5:32 a.m. and set at 8:30 p.m., with nearly 15 hours of sunlight.

After the longest day, the sun begins to set earlier and earlier, with another 8 p.m. sunset on Aug. 11.
