FAQ

In Ystalyfera today, sunrise is at 05:00 with sunset at 21:27. These times move through the year in line with seasonal changes in solar elevation.

The times move through the year because Earth’s tilt changes solar elevation and the length of daylight as the seasons progress.

It’s when the sun is highest in the sky at your location. It often differs from 12:00 because clock time is standardised across a time zone and can be shifted by daylight saving.
