Why daylight changes throughout the year in Montreal
Montreal sits at approximately 45.50° latitude, in the Northern Hemisphere. The Earth's 23.4° axial tilt causes daylight to vary with the seasons. In summer the Northern Hemisphere tilts toward the Sun, lengthening the days; in winter it tilts away, shortening them.
What this means for daily life
The 6.9-hour seasonal swing is significant: Montreal goes from roughly 15h 39m of daylight in Jun down to 8h 43m in Dec. This affects everything from commute timing to mood, which is why seasonal affective patterns are more pronounced at higher latitudes.
