Why daylight changes throughout the year in Perth
Perth sits at approximately -31.95° latitude, in the Southern Hemisphere. The Earth's 23.4° axial tilt causes daylight to vary with the seasons. In summer the Southern Hemisphere tilts toward the Sun, lengthening the days; in winter it tilts away, shortening them.
What this means for daily life
The 4.2-hour seasonal swing is significant: Perth goes from roughly 14h 13m of daylight in Dec down to 10h 4m in Jun. This affects everything from commute timing to mood, which is why seasonal affective patterns are more pronounced at higher latitudes.
