On the longest day of the year

With the longest day of the year here and plenty of outdoor activities likely on the cards, we're here to support that!

We've just added the length-of-day information to our Astro info card on all iOS devices. Don't worry Android users, this feature will be coming to you soon too.

On the Astro card you can find a range of information including sunrise and sunset, moonrise and moonset. Plus, the current moon phase.

You'll find it under the webcams and above the UV index, by sliding vertically down on the homepage.
