Atlas Elyden #32 - Daylight Hours During the Summer Solstice

Added 2018-05-23 11:12:31 +0000 UTC

Here's a new map for the Atlas detailing total hours of daylight during the Summer Solstice.

Though this one looks simple it took a lot of messing about with equations to figure out the total hours of daylight during the Summer solstice by latitude, given that the axial tilt of Elyden (22 degrees 52’) is different to that of Earth. I managed to get it done and added some notable cities to give an idea of how many hours of Daylight they get during the Summer Solstice.

Cities along the polar circle get one day of exactly 24 hours of daylight (though this may seem more due to atmospheric conditions), and the closer to the pole one moved the more days of total daylight you get - to about 6-months at the pole itself.

You can find an updated key to the map here.

You'll note that there is no PDF for Encyclopaedia entries as the Encyclopaedia Elyden is now available to all patrons to view - the post is stickied on my Patreon, and patrons at any tier (even as little as $1 month) have access to it. The PDF is a living document and will be updated monthly as I add content to it. You can find it here.
