The amount of sunlight in Yukon during winter varies depending on how far north you are, but it is generally quite limited due to its high latitude. Here’s an overview:

December (Winter Solstice)
• The shortest day of the year occurs around December 21.
• In Whitehorse (Southern Yukon): About 5.5 hours of daylight.
• In Dawson City (Central Yukon): About 4 hours of daylight.
• In Old Crow (Far Northern Yukon): The sun does not rise for several weeks (polar night).

January
• The days gradually lengthen after the winter solstice.
• By mid-January:
• Whitehorse: Around 7 hours of daylight.
• Dawson City: Around 6 hours of daylight.
• Old Crow: The sun begins to return, with brief periods of light.

February
• Daylight increases more rapidly as the season progresses.
• By the end of February:
• Whitehorse: Around 10 hours of daylight.
• Dawson City: Around 9 hours.
• Old Crow: Approximately 8.5 hours.

While sunlight hours are short, the twilight periods can be long and beautiful, with the low sun creating dramatic lighting.
