The House Tuesday passed legislation to make daylight-saving time permanent year-round. If passed in the Senate, Americans would no longer change their clocks every March and November. https://t.co/456cD3ekhH

The US House has voted to pass a measure to enact year-round Daylight Saving Time across the country, springing Congress forward into an issue that has long stumped lawmakers and spurred impassioned pleas by parents, farmers and others with sharply divergent views. It will now head to the Senate for approval before going to the president for his signature — though its chances in the upper chamber remain unclear. https://t.co/thCjD0N8MX

The 2026 winter solstice will occur at about 6:24pm AEST on Sunday, June 21, marking the moment Earth’s south pole reaches its maximum tilt away from the Sun.

This means Sunday will be the shortest day of the year in the Southern Hemisphere, including Australia, based on the amount of time between sunrise and sunset. 🌅

Here are the day lengths for Australia's capital cities on the date of the 2026 #wintersolstice.
