Winnipeg Daylight Tracker

You have 13:21:29 of daylight today to look out at the sad fact that it's still winter in #Winnipeg. Sure, it's April 8, but it looks more like Jan. 8! #mbstorm #springhasnotsprung #stillwinter

13 ain't unlucky around here: today's the first day of 2026 #Winnipeg gets 13 hours of daylight! We get 13:03:03 today and the sun sets at 8:03 p.m. #luckynumber13

No April foolin: today's the first day of 2026 that #Winnipeg's sunset is in the 8 p.m. hour. The sun sets at exactly 8 p.m. today and we get 12:55:37 of daylight. Enjoy that glorious evening light! #AprilFoolsDay

@FoosaBoi @Edmontondude All the spring breakers be like:

@Edmontondude @WpgDaylightTkr

The surest way to be disappointed as a #Winnipeg resident is to think for even a second that March is anything other than another winter month. The only thing it's good for is having more daylight to see snowstorms in. #mbstorm #springhasnotsprung

@WpgDaylightTkr Same in Edmonton.

Today's the 1st day of #spring! #Winnipeg's got a lot of snow that needs melting and has only had a small tease of anything resembling decent weather. HOWEVER, including today, we have gained 4 h, 5 m, and 23 s of daylight since the Winter Solstice. That's something to celebrate!

We have crossed the threshold: there will be more daylight than darkness in #Winnipeg today for the first time in 2026! We'll get 12:03:16 of daylight after falling 30 seconds short of the 12-hour mark yesterday!

@asmowatt24 Tadoule Lake gets 11:57:54 of daylight today and gains a whopping 5 minutes, 12 seconds!

@WpgDaylightTkr Almost 12 hours of sun rise to sun set. Tomorrow it will be, but I'm up in Tadoule Lake. Little longer days up here

Today's the first day that #Winnipeg gains the maximum amount of daylight per day it can: 3 m, 45 s. We gain that amount every day through March 22, after which the amount gained per day starts to wane. We gain 3-plus minutes every day through May 10. Also, it's #PiDay. 🥧

How about a post-7 p.m. sunset today? Deal! Thanks to springing forward, sunset will be at 7:22 p.m. in #Winnipeg, the latest one since Sept. 23. #springforward #daylightsavingstime #SundayMorning

Today's the first day of 2026 the sun rose before 7 a.m. in #Winnipeg; it rose at 6:58 a.m. Don't get too used to it, though -- the return to the highly-superior daylight time tomorrow will push sunrise back to 7:56 a.m. #springforward #daylightsavings #Saturday

Hey, hey, today's our first 11-hour day! #Winnipeg gets 11:03:28 of daylight today, and has gained an hour of daylight since Feb. 13! It's also the first time we get 11 hours of daylight since Oct. 11. #March2026

Sunsets are in the evening again (as they should be!) Today's sunset in #Winnipeg will be at 6:02 p.m.; it' the first evening sunset since Nov. 1, the day before we fell back. A 6:02 sunset is 1 hour, 35 minutes later than our earliest sunsets of 4:27 p.m. (Dec. 6 through 17).

Double digits! Today's the first day of 2026 #Winnipeg gets 10-plus hours of daylight and the first time since Oct. 27 (we get 10:02:01). We have gained an entire hour of daylight in the past 19 days and it's going to keep adding up as we are gaining more than 3 min per day.

The worst month of the year is OVER and we are into #February! Today brought us #Winnipeg's first pre-8 a.m. sunrise of 2026. The sun rose at 7:59 a.m. today, the first time since Nov. 27 it did that. Soon, we won't be going to work AND coming home in the dark — awesome!

@paymentmike The temps have CERTAINLY been cold enough over the past two weeks!

@WpgDaylightTkr Wish we had more sunshine, but if we get more that usually means colder temps

Today's the first day since the Winter Solstice that #Winnipeg gains 3 minutes of daylight! We gain exactly 3 minutes today and will get 9:12:47 of daylight. The days will be noticeably longer on a week-by-week basis going forward and January is almost over — hang in there!

Now, if it wasn't colder than Antarctica or the moon out there, we'd really be getting somewhere! #PolarVortex #Winnipeg

Today's the first day of 2026 we get 9-plus hours of daylight! #Winnipeg gets 9:01:02 today, and sunset is at 5:11 p.m. The last day with 9-plus hours of daylight was Nov. 15.
