Plan with city-level daylight
Open a city to see today and tomorrow, a seven-day comparison, the full current-month calendar and an annual day-length chart. All times follow that city’s local date, including summer clock changes. The calculations assume a level horizon; mountains, buildings and coastal conditions can change the sunlight you observe.
Only reviewed cities are linked here. Locations elsewhere in Illinois can have different times, so do not use these city-center values as a statewide forecast. For low-angle light, use the golden hour calculator and blue hour calculator.
Clock changes and local time
The listed Illinois city observes US daylight saving time. A spring or autumn clock change shifts the printed sunrise and sunset without changing the amount of astronomical daylight. Read the daylight saving time guide for the rules and exceptions.
