This is the old glass half full or half empty trick: either we’re losing 17 minutes of daylight or we’re gaining 17 of night. Early November is when the combination of suddenly chilly weather, gray fog over Geneva, and having to move the clocks back makes me very aware the days are growing shorter.

But how much shorter and how fast, I always wonder. Here’s the answer, along with sunrise and moonrise and setting times for Geneva. Buckle your seatbelt, as we’re about to zoom into winter, losing 17 minutes of daylight in the next six days.

By the end of November our day will be one hour 10 minutes shorter than on the first of the month.

The good news is we have more time to have fun in the evenings, and Geneva has plenty to do.
