How to read it
Dallas lies at the southern end of Tornado Alley, where hail and tornadoes come with the spring storms, mostly from March to June, and the lines that bring them show on the radar well to the west. Winter has its own danger when a cold front turns rain to ice, as in the freeze of February 2021 that left millions of Texans without power.
Dallas's longest day, around June 21, has 14 hours 19 minutes of daylight, and its shortest, around December 21, has 10 hours.
Sunset in Dallas comes earliest around December 2, at about 5:20 PM, and latest around June 25, at about 8:39 PM. That earliest sunset comes about 19 days before Dallas's shortest day, because the Sun's noon drifts against the clock through the year. Dallas's clocks change twice a year, so its sunset jumps by an hour on each of those days.
Dallas's evening golden hour, the Sun from 6° up to 4° below the horizon, lasts about 50 minutes around the equinoxes; at midsummer about 55 minutes.
