Montana days grow longer throughout May
The journey toward longer days continues as we move from the spring equinox to the summer solstice. Due to the Earth’s tilt, the Northern Hemisphere is now experiencing more direct sunlight, allowing many areas across western Montana to see light well past 9 p.m.
We’re also not far from 9 p.m. sunsets, with the Flathead Valley expected to see them as early as later this week.

While March and April saw larger increases in daylight, May still packs a punch. Many areas will continue to gain more than an hour of extra light by the end of the month, with sunsets between 9:30 and 10 p.m. by May 31.
Daylight Gained – Western Montana
Don’t think I forgot our early birds, though. Bozeman will enjoy extra sunlight in the early morning hours, with twilight beginning as early as 5 a.m. and sunrises around 5:45 in the Garden City.

It’s quite beautiful to see Montana waking up from winter, and the extra sunlight certainly adds to the energy. Whether it’s taking a walk or having dinner on the patio, enjoy the extra daylight this month!
