PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- Daylight hours are on the rise as the northern hemisphere distances itself from the winter solstice.
Sunsets will continue to get later in the evening as sunrise times get earlier during the month of January. The greater Portland, Vancouver area is expecting to gain over 50 minutes of daylight during the month of January.
Daylight hours will continue to grow faster in the northern parts of the country. That's where the darkness well outweighed the darkness of the south during the winter months.
Daylight hours will continue to grow as the northern hemisphere approaches the summer solstice on June 20.
