Sunset is getting earlier every day, and the last sunset at 9 p.m. or after will be on Wednesday, July 23. After that, we're at sunsets after 8 p.m. through early September.

We also start losing more than two minutes of daylight per day on July 28. The first sunset before 8 p.m. will take place on Sept. 5 for Detroit, and the last day with 12 hours of daylight is Sept. 25.

Here's how much sunlight we lose each month through the fall.

  • July - 45:02
  • August - 1:15:29
  • September - 1:21:31
  • October - 1:21:41

Daylight Saving Time officially ends on Sunday, Nov. 2 and that's when we'll fall back. On that day, the sunset will be at 5:23 p.m.
