Why daylight changes throughout the year in Stockholm
Stockholm sits at approximately 59.33° 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 12.4-hour seasonal swing is significant: Stockholm goes from roughly 18h 33m of daylight in Jun down to 6h 8m in Dec. This affects everything from commute timing to mood, which is why seasonal affective patterns are more pronounced at higher latitudes.
