How the Daylight Comparator works

Daylight decides how much you can fit into a day, especially for road trips and hikes. Pick up to three countries and a month to compare average hours of daylight from our guide tables, with a twelve-month view for each. Near the equator the hours hardly change; far from it the difference between seasons is large.

Where the data comes from

Average daylight hours by month for the 16 countries with climate tables. Scores run from 1 to 10 and come from the month-by-month verdicts in the When to Go series. Where our data does not cover a figure, the tool says so: check official sources for that detail.
