Yes Punitha,

Dec 22 is the day of winter solistice.

Nowadays I regularly log in to the site timeanddate.com to check the temperatures in various cities around the world and locate where the sun is at a given time..

It daily gives details of the duration of the day. Today the day is supposed to be 5 sec longer than yesterday.

Yesterday it was 3 secs more than the day before.

bye
