Daylight in Post Falls right now
Post Falls sits at 47.73° north, so its day length swings by 7h 35m across the year — from 8h 24m at the December solstice to 16h 00m at the June solstice. Today the city gets 12h 10m of daylight and the day is 3m 25s shorter than yesterday.
Day and night reach almost exactly twelve hours each on Friday, September 25, 2026 — the next equilux. That is not the equinox, and the gap is not an error: sunrise and sunset are measured at the sun’s upper edge rather than its centre, and atmospheric refraction lifts the disc into view before it has geometrically risen. The further from the equator, the larger the gap.
Solar noon — when the sun is highest, not when the clock reads twelve — comes at 12:40 PM. The difference is the combined effect of the city’s longitude within its time zone and the equation of time, which is currently 7.4 minutes.
