    It is actually today. The sunrise was the same time as yesterday but the sun sets one minute later tonight.

    Tomorrow has the same rise and set times as yesterday

    Not that any sun can be seen through the rain lol

    The actual solstice was at 23:09 UTC last night (00:09 BST today) when the sun was at its highest. It is all down hill from then.

    The longest day is today. They are different.
