Fall is on the way.
Toronto will see its last 8 p.m. sunset of the year on Thursday, as summer evenings continue to shorten, RTNToronto says. After Wednesday, sunset times will gradually get earlier each day. The sun won’t be expected to set again at 8 p.m. until April 2027.
Reaction to the news was mixed on social media.
“ Wait didn’t summer just start?” posted one user on Instagram.
“ I need to move out of here lmao how depressing,” posted another user.
But some voices on Instagram welcomed the news.
“ Favourite season is approaching!” one user wrote.
“ This means NFL we will take it” another posted.

The longest night on Earth happens at the North and South Poles, where night can last uninterrupted for six months. Called the Polar Night , it affects both extremes and large areas around it. Communities inside the Arctic Circle, for example, will experience a nighttime that lasts from a few weeks to more than 100 days. The closer those communities are to a pole, the longer their nights will be.
That’s because the Earth has an axial tilt of 23.5 degrees, which means when one pole of the planet tilts away from the sun during wintertime, the area around it gets no sunlight at all. But when the Earth moves to the other side of the sun, those areas receive no nighttime, a phenomenon called the Polar Day.
