Distance to polar circle886 km / 550 mi
Arctic Circle (66.56° N)

Daylight over the year

Estimated daylight (sunrise-to-sunset) duration in Thurso along the year.

The longest daylight at latitude 58.59° N is about 18h 22m around the summer solstice in June, while the shortest is about 6h 18m around the winter solstice in December.

These are approximate astronomical estimates, using solar-declination equations documented by NOAA and a standard sunrise/sunset horizon of −0.833°. Twilight is not included. Terrain, altitude and actual atmospheric conditions can change observed daylight, particularly near the poles. Distances are approximate north–south distances along a meridian on a mean-radius Earth; the nearest polar circle is taken at 66.56°.

About latitude comparisons

When comparing cities at the same latitude, such as Thurso and its global counterparts, it is important to remember that while they share identical daylight hours and similar solar angles throughout the year, their climates may differ drastically. Factors including elevation, proximity to oceans, and dominant wind patterns shape the local environment just as much as solar positioning.

The results shown here are cities located within ±0.5 degrees of Thurso's parallel (58.59°), which covers roughly 55 kilometers (34 miles) north or south of its exact coordinate.

Frequently asked questions

What is the longitude of Thurso?

Thurso is located at longitude 3.5259° W. Among cities within ±0.5° of the same meridian, Abidjan (Ivory Coast), at 4.0017° W in the Northern Hemisphere.

How close are these cities to Thurso’s latitude?

Each listed city has a stored latitude between 58.09° and 59.09°, the ±0.5° matching band around Thurso.

Does this map show exact city boundaries?

No. Map markers and latitude values use city reference coordinates. They help compare locations on a parallel, but do not represent municipal boundaries.

Do these cities share the same climate?

Not necessarily. Latitude is only one influence on climate; altitude, coastlines, ocean currents and local terrain also matter.
