Winter solstice brings Chicago a mere 9 hours, 7 minutes of sunlight Saturday

The winter solstice for 2024 in Chicago arrives Saturday, Dec. 21 at 3:21 a.m. (CST). This marks the shortest day of the year, meaning Chicago will see the least amount of sunlight on this day and the most amount of darkness.

The silver lining is that, starting Dec. 22, the hours of daylight each day will get longer until we reach the summer solstice.
